EliasCPFC Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi, I'm one of the unfortunate few going to the game tomorrow night. Train prices are a joke so I'll be driving down, was just wondering if there was anywhere free/cheap around the ground (no more than 20 min walk) to park, and if so where? Or if anybody lives near the ground and is willing to let me park on their drive please? - I'll be happy to pay a small fee. Never driven to an away game other than Maidstone pre season if that counts haha, so not too sure how it works in regards to parking. Cheers.

If you get here early you could park by the SS Great Britain and walk up. Not too expensive and pretty near the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Red Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 If you get off at Junction 19 M5 and head to ground that route (straight road) there is Bedminster Cricket Club parking (around £5) and 5 min walk to ground. The traffic from motorway though can take 30mins plus that time of night, and its only about 6miles! Car ParkingPrivate parking is available in the area, please visit justpark.com for more information. Parking is usually available in the Ashton Vale Rd. industrial estate and also limited match day parking available at Bedminster Cricket Club on a first come, first served basis.

BRISTOL86 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I would also recommend Bedminster Cricket Club - certainly the closest cheap parking that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillred Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 there are actually 2 car parks, the first one has 2 exits and in my opinion is easier to get out of, take the a369 road off the Gordano roundabout keep going about 5 miles till you go down a steep hill it is 100 yards on your left you can see the ground from there.

Go on https://www.justpark.com loads of locals rent out their drive ways on there. I went to the Burton game and paid £5.60 for parking 2 minutes from the ground.

Cider red Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Don't pay, if your happy to walk 10-15 its free. Any of the roads at the other end of coronation road are normally fine for parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinmans Love Child Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Worst comes to worst you could park at @bristol in the centre and walk, only 20 mins max, also it’s along the river so very picturesque (if that’s your thing) also by the time you walk back after the game the Traffic will have cleared, but it will cost about a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsteral Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Portway park and ride. I f you continue on M4 and join the M5 southbound towards Avonmouth junction 18, then follow A4 towards Bristol. Just after you have passed under the motorway bridge, on the right hand side there is the Portway (A4) park and ride. There you can get a park and ride bus direct to Ashton Gate starting at 17.20 which takes 20 minutes, return buses run for a couple of hours after the game has finished. Cost £4 unless you have a bus pass, then it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The retail park next to the stadium. Free parking but you may get a ticket but as it's a private car park so just ignore the letters. Been parking there for years and not had a ticket yet.

Guest Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 All the residential parking around North Street stops at 5pm so if you arrive just after that you'll find swathes of empty spaces.. but they'll quickly go after 6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfieldred Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Blockbusters by Sainsbury's on Winterstoke Rd is a better shout than the retail park. You won't get a ticket and it's less than 10 minute walk to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I know the local roads and drive to the ground going round in ever bigger circles until I park 15 or 20 mins away on a bad day. Sometimes im lucky and park 5 mins away on my first circuit. If you are early, you could try that but if not, rent a drive is probably your best bet.

Lrrr Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Used Bedminster CC for the first time for the Burton game and if you don't mind paying £5 its very convenient, short walk and able to get away quickly afterwards. I imagine you'd be able to get onto the portway quickly enough to get up to the M4 if you're coming from that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go down the M5 past Brizz and follow the instructions as above. A lot of countryside but when yo go down the steep hill (you'll know it, it's kin steep) it's at the bottom. Also if you are early you go straight by the Susspension bridge. Great for tourists and you can see the ground. Beer cheap and people are very nice and you can get grub in the Cricket clubhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm a big fan of JustPark, not only because it guarantees you a space but it means you don't have to get there ridiculously early - your space is waiting for you. Particularly useful for midweek games. Normally three of us in the car so splitting the costs it works out less than £2 each - worth it just to stop my Dad having his standard coronary if we haven't found a space by 7pm. There's nothing he loves more than a good panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vespa Red Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 If you arrive any time before 5.30pm, you should be able to park near the ground for free. Any time after that, no chance. Used the Portway Park and Ride on Saturday for the first time - usually get the train but the Severn Tunnel was shut. I was impressed so that's always an option.

Erithacus Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just wondering how many are going to turn up. Leeds on the weekend brought a load, but not sure the crowd will be so big on the Tuesday. Could be some spots open to leave the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
