infoman Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hope you don't mind a Bristol City fan coming on your board with some local info. Buy your tickets in advance,as the last two games against Barnsley and Aston Villa have been NO PAY ON THE DAY for away fans. Coming by road Do NOT USE M5 M4 M32 route and don't try to negotiate the roads and streets of Bristol YOU WILL GET LOST 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 its quicker.Parking is normally in the streets around the area as long as you are there by 1pm. If you are coming by train there is a local train service to PARSON STREET at 12:25 13:25 13:56 and 14:25 Good train times as most trains from the North arrive at quarter to the hour or quarter past the hour it takes you two thirds of the way to the ground and walk the rest of the way You will pass Sainsburys on the left with restaurant Robins pub again on the left When you approach the ground I suggest you walk past wickes using the paement as the concourse area behind the big new stand gets very congested with bodies Please make sure you get your train ticket showing PARSON STREET We are trying to promote PARSON STREET for football fans till Ashton gate halt comes on line If there are at least three of you get a taxi Make sure the taxi driver drops you in the Ashton Road end as it a very long walk round from the other end or use the brown buses from the bottom of the incline of the station. Which depart approx 13:55pm with returns just after the match finishes On the return home the trains leave at 17:30pm and I think you will struggle to get back to Bristol Temple meads for 17:30pm Casualty and Hobly City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes cos I think their both crap The young ones was also filmed in the BS7 area of the City (actually its Bishopston) Finally the block of flats on the left behind the dolman stand side as you are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools and horses" Bring yer camera and turn up early if you wanna take any photo's Pubs possibly best one are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house and the cottage. Buy your match day programme before you enter the away end. BBC Radio station is radio bristol which has frequenceys and 94:9 and DAB (and 95:5 up till 3pm) and the match commentary it will be on BBC radio bristol DAB If you want or need any further local info please don't be afraid to ask.

archram Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks @infoman. Always good to hear from someone who actually knows ,rather than the guesses that most of us make! i live in Thornbury and previously have used the train from Parkway which is closed at the moment, so I've decided to do it by bus. May take longer but at least it's free for we oldies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967Ram Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Live in Shaftesbury, so train from Warminster to Temple Meads. Few beers on train. Walk to the ground to meet my Uncle and Cousin (BCFC Season ticket holders) and then a few beers at the ground with them. 5-0 victory and some celebratory drinks before returning to good old Dorset!!
