for those coming to BRISTOL on TUESDAY best local info

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hope you don't mind a Bristol City fan coming on your board with some local info for next tuesdays visit

I know a mid week game is always a problem for a lot of football fans

and what won't help is the Sky televised game of

AC Milan(David Beckham) and Manchester united

So I hope as many of as possible can make the trip to Bristol on tuesday night

If you can buy yer tickets in advance to get any discounts from your own ticket office when you are at home to S****horpe on saturday

If you want to buy your tickets in advance please don't ring the Bristol City premium rate phone number.

The club charges for credit card bookings and also charges a pound if you want the tickets sent to your home

best advice is send a cheque for the amount and pick up tickets on the day

If you are one of those fans who like to keep ticket stubs of your away games no ticket stubs are issued at the turnstiles

either book the tickets in advance as stated or purchase from the Bristol city ticket office on the day

We have a new ticket system at Ashton just put your purchased in advance ticket with the bar code

into said ticket machine with red colour facing upwards

If you are coming by road use M5 southbound to junction 18(avonmouth) then follow signs A4 bristol airport

It looks the long way round but traffic in central Bristol is awfull

especially during the afternoon/evening rush hour

If you are coming by train to Bristol temple meads

Try to use the the local railway station to parson street it takes you two thirds of the way to the ground departs bristol temple meads at 18:55pm and walk the rest of the way

as public transport to Ashton gate is very poor,but thier is no return service

The ground is designated not smoking but there always seem to be load of fag ends by the toilet block

Casualty and Hobly City are filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes cos I think thier both crap the young ones, skins,and teachers were filmed in the City.

If you are bringing young children with you that still "look young" don't buy your tickets in advance but have a words with the cheif steward

Finally the block of flats on the right hand side as you are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools and horses"

The market scene where the footballers manaquins are cut into the wall are at the away end of the ground in the club car park where you will enter from

Bring yer camera and turn up early if you wanna take any photo's

Be prepared to be searched by the stewards.

regarding the food outlet in the ground its crap, staffed by agency staff whose purpose is to do as little as possible

KFC can be seen from the away end(two minutes walk, honest) and sainsburys store is five minutes

with restaurant

pubs possibly best one are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house the cottage

NO BOOZE IS SOLD INSIDE THE GROUND

buy your match day programme before you enter the away end

recently they have been including a free copy of our local paper

or you can buy a "goody bag" which includes the local paper bottle of water packet of crisps and a chocolate bar for a quid

BBC Radio station is radio bristol which has frequenceys of 95:5 and 94:9 1548

If you want or need any further local info please don't be afraid to ask.

I'll take it as banter,everything goes over me head any way.

See you on tuesday.

What's your avg attendance for a Tues night game/what're you expecting? Do you still sell tickets for home fans in the Eastend, or is it still an issue with your club? Where do the most vocal home fans sit? To the right of us in the Eastend, or the corner of the Williams stand?

Williams stand - no thats the posh seats. You have the young un's that tend to sit in the Atteo stand which is the opposite end, and you have you're older hard core that tend to sit in the top left (furthest away again) of the Dolman Stand. You'll get the odd few fans that will try and give abuse to the away fans in the wings of the Dolman/Williams.

Doubt they'd bother letting fans in next to the away end due to the expected turn out - if there was 20,000 maybe.

Attendence would be a bit unknown really as last time City played on Tuesday Night at home they lost 6-0. I would guess this one will be a low turn out (especially with the Utd game on, and half of Bristol supports them) of around 12,000.

What the rest of guy said was pretty spot on - but he's nicked my job as a Leicester fan in Bristol.

Yes, but don't expect to get any Canabis in Bristol at the moment, the men in blue have just made two big raids. Apparently, they found one of the hauls in a house, because a helicopter with heat seaking equipment was picking up tempatures from this house akin to it being on fire - it was only the bloody lamps! :crylaugh:

Also please don't park on Luckwell Road, my brother gets really pissed off when he can't park outside his house!

Police helos regularly scan estates at night with their infra red cameras for hot spots.

ill be there! but i guess thats not saying much seeing i live in bristol......

There's a couple of us who live in Bristol - I went to Holloway's first game in charge at the gate, and while in the queue for a half time bovril I asked the fan behind me how we were doing compared to earlier in the season - he laughed and said, not a clue, I'm from Bristol. It wasn't you was it?
