It is not a copy and paste,if you read all the info its relevant to saturdays match,I have a template and I adjust it to suite who ever Bristol City are playing.

We play Stoke City on Wednesday night and a similar posting will be posted on their forum/s

Although the train/railway information might be adjusted.

The radio information will also be altered, as the other lot ain't playing and we will have coverage on all radio frequencys

Hope to see as many of you at our place on Saturday,any indication of how many Blackburn Rovers followers will be making the trip?

Any indication of the amount of away tickets sold for the game?

final reminder there will not be any pay on the day

Hope as many of you can attend on Saturday

and yes we were awful against Millwall

Just looked at recent attendance for Blackburn fans trips to Ashton Gate over the last few years

2015/16 953

2016/17 556

2018/19 1,058

So hope to see as many of you at Ashton Gate next Saturday 14 december

Sorry my fault i forgot to change the date from 30 november

Just noticed that the game will be the Championship game beamed to an audience OUTSIDE of the U.K.

From a Bristol City follower,hope as many of you can make the journey on saturday 30th November

Firstly THERE WILL NO PAY ON THE DAY and this will NOT be changed.
So please buy your match day tickets on saturday if your heading to the home game against Derby

Coming by road.

Do NOT USE M4/M32 route and don't try to negotiate the roads and streets of Bristol
YOU WILL GET LOST


Parking is normally in the streets around the area as long as you are there by 1pm please don't block drive ways or park on corners.
If you are coming by train there is a local train service to PARSON STREET from Bristol Temple Meads

Good train times as most trains from the North as well as the London direction arrive at quarter past the hour and quarter to 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 your left hand side
When you approach the ground I suggest you walk past wickes using the pavement
as the concourse area behind the big new stand gets very congested with bodies
Any less you want to look at the John Atyeo statue

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.
Split train tickets are available to Bristol(parson street)

If there are at least three of you arriving by train 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


Casualty and Holby City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes cos I think their both rubbish
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 your camera and turn up early if you want to 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.

Radio commentary  be on BBC radio Bristol on DAB should be on 94:9fm as well

We now have two big screens at the Gate,
so if you have bad eyesight sit on the far left hand side as you look at the pitch.
The match is shown while the game is in play and some replays but no controversial incidents.

Pubs: best ones are along the Cumberland Roads area,suggest park your car and then walk to the ground.
Please circulate to any other football forums and footy fans you may deem fit

If you need any further info,don't be afraid to ask.

Not about the game.

The trip down and back by train, coach, car any delays? did anyone use Parson Street rail station

Stewarding turnstiles catering  match day programme ease of purchase etc

Were there any posters saying thank you for travelling all the way from Blackburn.

Was the local info supplied of any use.

Thank you in advance.

Its a long way come and no decent trains to get you all here in time for kick off is not helping.

Bristol City fan here,ref coming in from Ireland.

Not sure what your arrival time is,but if your coming via the airpoprt bus.

The ground can be seen on the left hand side heading into Bristol

What is your day/arrival time?

Ref the rugby boys.

The above fixtures have been moved to aid the team’s recovery and alleviate fixture congestion.’

We played Saturday so we get an extra day off.

Might have been done,thinking Bristol City would be in the 2nd round of the caraboo cup

Pitch is a 4G,so no problems last season

See my local info posting

Last proper weekend of the summer holidays so

The M5 will grind to a snails pace from just south of the M5 at the M42 junction

Start your journey some thing like 06:00am,well it is a 13:30pm kick off

match was moved to sunday as they Rugby boys play friday night
or maybe stay the weekend at Weston Super Mare

Coming by road.
Do NOT USE M4/M32 route and don't try to negotiate the roads and streets of Bristol

If you are coming by road use M4/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 11:30am  please don't block drive ways or park on corners.
If you are coming by train the local trains to Parson street are not convenient on Sunday.

BUT AND A BIG BUT,could I request you get the train ticket issued to Parson street as it push's up the footfall at the station its the same price as bristol temple meads

Till Ashton gate haly comes on line,just curious why is there no rail station by the line as it pass's by your football ground
When you approach the ground from the winterstoke road direction I suggest you walk past wickes using the pavement
as the concourse area behind the big new stand gets very congested with bodies
UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE THE JOHN ATYEO STATUE and Wallace from Wallace and gromit serie
Split train tickets are available to Bristol from the London area and group save is also availble on GWR trains,
but not cross country trains
If there are at least three of you get a taxi from the station to the ground
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 at Bristol Temple Meads
Casualty and Holby City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes cos I think their both rubbish
The young ones was also filmed in the BS7 area of the City(actually its Bishopston)
