If you can buy yer tickets in advance you can get the discounts

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

If you are coming by train there is a local service to parson street which will take you two thirds of the way to the ground

departure time from Bristol temple meads XX:50 past the hour
public transport to the ground is not a lot of cop

The ground is designated not smoking, but thier always seems to be a lot of fag ends between the toilet block and the catering block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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