RedRock Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Probably missed it, but what advice has the Police, Bristol City Council & Bristol City Football Club 'Partnership' provided for those home fans displaced by the Portway P&R and Portway Closure and Brummies being advised to use the Abbots Leigh Road to Bedme Cricket Club? One assumes Bristol Zoo area will be grid locked by runners and spectators cars plus zoo patrons. I thought Julie was going to update us once a 'plan' had been agreed. Slightly worrying if nothing has been posted that the 3 partners made a slight oversight in agreeing to have a running event on in the same part of the city, on the same day, at the same time. If they are still pondering what to do, maybe a big City like yours could do with an elected mayor to ensure It was run efficiently and there was some joined-up thinking to prevent a reoccurrence.

You're like a dog with a bone on this aren't you?!! Let it go, you'll make yourself ill thinking about it. Basically, the Mayor, the Council and the authorities in our fair City haven't got a scooby, they'll close their collective eyes and put their fingers in their ears all day next Sunday, and when the inevitable brown stuff hits the spinny air conditioning thingy, they'll put all the blame on football fans.

View from the Dolman Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not sure the club are part of any partnership with influence over the 10k... But they have released the following information: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/travel-arrangements-and-bus-changes-for-final-day-3693910.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 My advice to anyone driving in from the south would be come in via the A 38 and park up around Bedminster Down/Bishopsworth and either walk down past the Cross Hands and Miners or catch the AG 4 football bus.

JulieH Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have been involved with others in sorting out all the details of trains and available roads for our media team to release. Hopefully it will be out today or tomorrow but will have all information on it. In a nutshell, trains as already discussed that now stop at parsons st. Advice that football traffic leave at junction 19 and follow signs into area, hopefully extra car parking has been agreed at Ashton court as well! ( awaiting further details from council but all agreed) I will try and post link here once released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the "ride" part anyway... http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/travel-arrangements-and-bus-changes-for-final-day-3693910.aspx I read it that the parking will be open. When the bus exits the P & R site I don't think there's enough room for it to turn left s it will pick up outside and run to the M5 , then Portbury and into AG through Abbots Leigh & Rownham Hill? Could be wrong but that's how I read it especially as it says it wont pick up on the bit of the Portway that is open (up to Sylvan Way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
