[1infoman]

Hope as many of you can attend the game,its a shame its that we will not be in the same division come 2024/25,always enjoyed coming to Rotherham.
Please buy your match day tickets in advance as there will be no pay on the day
There is no hard copy of match day programmes any more,although the club has sanctioned an unofficial copy of brochure
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 midday please don't block drive ways or park on corners.
The congestion zone has arrived which includes some areas around Ashton Gate,even the council don't like us.
Check if your car is compliant HERE

TRAINS if your coming by train,please have your tickets issued to Parson Street as it helps us
try and get a new train station nearer to Ashton Gate and its normally the same price
Trains from Birmingham (or London) direction arrive in good time for the XX:26 XX:54 past the hour
from Bristol temple meads to Parson Street
It takes you two thirds of the way to the ground and walk the rest of the way or catch the number 24 in either direction
Special bus's depart from Bristol temple meads to the ground on match days
If you use Parson Street,this will save negotiating the ticket gates/barriers at Bristol Temple meads
Casualty and Holby City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes because 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 ones are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house and the cottage.
Our most famous player,John Atyeo,has a statue by the club superstore between the corner of the Lansdown and South stand.
BBC Radio station is radio Bristol which has frequencies and 94:9 and DAB.
and the match commentary will be on BBC radio Bristol
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

We would recommend the Bristol Beer Factory and there are many pubs close to it as an alternative
It’s only a 10 minute walk to the ground and Bristolians are a very friendly bunch
Bristol itself is well worth a weekend visit if you’ve not been
