CITY2003'S GUIDE TO ASHTON GATE
Firstly hope as many of as possible can make the trip to Bristol. Be prepared to be searched by the stewards.
No booze is sold inside the ground. 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.
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.
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
