Directions & Parking:

Approx 130 miles - 2¼ hours

M1 > M69 > M42 > M5 to J16 ....

Leave the M5 at Junction 16 and join the A38 (South) towards Bristol City Centre. The ground is about five miles down the A38. You will pass the large British Aerospace works and further on, you will pass on your left the Inn on the Green and the Gloucester pubs. At the next traffic lights, the Memorial Ground is signposted to the left and is about 100 yards down this road.

Street parking is widely available within a short distance of the ground.

Trains:

Not a very easy ground to get to on the train. However for those who fancy braving it, here goes ....

The cheap singles appear to have gone. A return ticket on the day is £57.20. However you could save yourself a small fortune by splitting your tickets. A day return between Leicester & Birmingham is £9.40, and there are advance singles ranging from £11-£15.50 for the Birmingham to Bristol Parkway and return legs of the journey. Please note on there are engineering works in the morning of the game, so a bus service from Patchway is in operation. This will add nearly 1 hour on the Birmingham to Bristol parkway leg of the journey. Bad times! Coming back to Birmingham the train is direct. Good times!

Once at Bristol Parkway, you will need to jump on the 73 or 74 bus or get a cab. Alternitively you can walk the 2 miles to the ground.

PM me or reply to this thread if you need any further help.

I doubt if we going to need them - the ones that we have already got are selling very slowly.

It seems like all those irregulars who wanted tickets for Northampton are now saving up for Milton Keynes and can't stir their lazy arses to go as far as Bristol.

Must be horseshit on FT. Like Boc said everyone will be going MK instead (where I think supply will just about meet demand).

For anybody driving to the game and hate motorways try the A46 after you get off the M69 at Cov heading for Warwick,Stratford and Evesham and finally joining the M5 at Tewkesbury.It's not a bad drive i always use this route to avoid the Brum traffic.

i'm waiting on the missus. she's supposed to be coming down that weekend but if not i'll be there.

 

[Hazzman]

200 left and it looks like if they get sold, we'll get some on the terrace.

 

[bocadillo]

We've now got 800 terrace tickets at £17 each - making 2,000 tickets in all.

There are still some seats left at £19.50.

If you've already got a ticket for a seat but would prefer to stand, the ticket office will exchange it but you should do so sooner rather than later.

Or maybe they cannot afford to go to all games and spend what money they can spare on select games?

calling them lazy is a tad presumptuous.

Maybe so. I was actually referring to and making a point to individuals who know who they are - I should have made that clear.

The London Branch and friends will be drinking before the game at The Hillgrove Porter Stores. More info and map at www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/23/23718/Hillgrove_Porter_Stores/Bristol

N.B. There are plenty of buses running from outside the pub to the ground.
