Lukas Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi everybody, I am a German football fan and will be around Bristol this weekend. I got myself tickets for Friday's game and am looking for some recommendations by local fans. Do you have any tips regarding the following point? A decent Pub where home fans usually gather for a beer before the games. Any famous snack around the Stadium? My tickets are for the south stand (S 23). This is the area for Bristol fans, right (I got confused by the recent changes)? How early do you recommend me to enter the stadium? I know I have a reserved and numbered seat, but is there e.g. a nice atmosphere before the game? In Germany I usually stand at my place more than an hour before kick-off Thanks a lot and a big sorry in advance if this was the wrong place to place such a post in this Forum. Looking forward to Friday! Lukas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Friday! Lukas @Lukas Firstly welcome to the forum The most famous Bristol City pub is The Three Lions pub, which has lots of history and memrobilia on show in the venue https://whatpub.com/pubs/AVN/315/three-lions-bristol But the ground also has so much going on in and around it on matchdays too now. There is a fanzone where live bands play before the game, with the iconic statue of John Atyeo looking over the ground You can enter from any of the turnstiles in the home section as the ground is in a horseshoe shape underneath meaning you can wonder around and look at other parts of the stadium. English grounds tend to fill up much nearer to kick off, even 30 minutes before kick off it will be quiet inside the stadium IF, you have time, pop into the Three Lions, you can get some brilliant photos of the ground and the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge behind it, then wonder down to the fanzone etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Friday! Lukas Welcome Lukas. There are several pubs that large numbers of home fans occupy before games.. The Rising Sun & The Robins are very close to the ground.. The Three Lions is a bit further away from the ground but is a superb pub. As for something to eat.. it you stumble across the Clarks Pie Van near the Rising Sun, their pies are fantastic. A real West Country treat. With your seats being near the singing section, the atmosphere should be excellent, as it has been all season so far. English fans, tend to leave it quite late with regards to entering the stadium as Phantom mentioned. half hour before kick off is plenty of time. Enjoy your visit to Bristol and enjoy watching Bristol's best & biggest football club play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Friday! Lukas Welcome Lukas. Two questions, who are your German team and please tell me you're not going to watch the 'other' Bristol 'team' on Saturday as well? Another vote for the 3 Lions by the way although, if you have time, you might want to try our local tipples in the Orchard pub, near the SS Great Britain.

Lukas Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Perfect, that is exactly the kind of things I was hoping for (just found an amazing Picture of the 3 Lions Pub wrapped in Bristol City flags )! Will definately also try the pies and look for some Bristol chants on YouTube @Ska Junkie: Borussia Dortmund is my Club since my early childhood (family holds two season passes) and...no, I wasn't even aware of another club in Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Lukas welcome to Bristol, hope you enjoy the game, there is a bar at the end of the south stand where you are going to sit it has the largest indoor screen in Europe, you can also get things to eat and drink right there at the back of the stand, please post on here after and let us know what your thoughts are on the ground and our team have a good night.

bcfcredandwhite Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I actually think a draw against Burton could be psychologically worse than a defeat on Friday. A defeat would kick everyone up the arse and prompt LJ to sort it out, whereas a draw would see us all scratching our heads wondering if our top end of the table position is above our status. A win would be fantastic of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I seriously doubt anybody would have a problem with a solo Burton fan let alone Dortmund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I used a BVB Shirt on friday and buy myself a Bristol scharf there would Not be any problem? You'll be fine Lukas. My friend normally has Dortmund gear on at City games. If you're in S23, look over to your right, where the stand straightens to meet the side stand and you'll probably see him, about 15 rows back. You won't get any problems, maybe a few genuinely interested questions, that's all. We're a friendly bunch. If it was a Scheisse 04 shirt, different matter. Enjoy!

cityexile Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 11 hours ago, cidered abroad said: Burtons away record is dismal with a lot of goals conceded. As others have said, they'll probably park the bus and try to snatch one on the break. So patience is necessary on and off the pitch. Score early and it could be a goalfest. Position in table is a bit irrelevant so long as we continue to gather points and reach 50 as soon as possible. After that we can look upwards and dream. I think their form during September could be best described as bi-polar. At home they have been stuffed 4-0 twice, but beat Fulham 2-1. Equally away they got beat 5-0, but also got decent 0-0s at QPR and Norwich. I suppose it would imply they have the ability to keep it tight, but if they go behind and have to chase a game they often end up getting well beaten. Will not be easy, could be another Millwall, but an early goal would point to a good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
