Greenman15 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Evening all, I'm sure this thread has been done to death but I was wondering where is good to park around Ashton Gate these days. I usually get the train but will have to drive tomorrow. Where is the best place to go? I'll be planning to get to Bristol about half 5ish.

Cumberland Basin rammed at 1.50pm. Car parks double parking. Serious lack of spaces. The club needs to review this if they want full houses each week. Transport too.

Dollymarie Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The council needs to sort their shit out and open the park and ride for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already introduced park and ride scheme. Lot of lazy people driving when they could easily walk / bus / train . Love the fact people moan about car parking spaces and don't even set off till 2.15 but expect to park outside the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Noticing loads and loads more cones being put out around the ground. Seems to be led by the residents so not sure how legal they are as people getting impatient and just pushing them aside and parking. I know it must be annoying but it does grate on me when residents look like they are renting their drives as they have parked on the road then coning the remainder off. Seems a bit cake and eat it to me as surely the ground was there before any house owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Greenman, if you're arriving around 5.30pm you might find a street parking space. Duckmoor Rd is generally not too bad if you arrive in good time. It's worth checking it out first. Bemmy Cricket Cluc is a fiver but I've never used it so am not sure if it's first come first served set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 As I've just said on another thread, JustPark is your answer if you want to guarantee a space in advance and not have to get there at early o'clock. Still doesn't seem to be common knowledge - I'm amazed every time we have one of these threads how long it takes someone to mention it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonRed794 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I always park in Bedminster Cricket Club, easy for me (heading out of the city after the game towards the M5), £5, good group of folk run the carpark and they seem to be around before and after the game, which is reassuring for security. Decent beer and prices in the cricket club pavilion too. I would rather pay the £5 than face the hassle of parking in Hotwells for free which I used to do. Far more convenient. I usually get there about 90mins before kick off, never an issue finding a space, it's a big site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 A couple of other people have mentioned Bedminster Cricket Club.... I find it really convenient for a fiver and it’s a great option if you’re running late. There are always plenty of spaces there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkc Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I park at sainsburys. Some times it costs me £60 other times it doesn’t. Plenty of spaces to pick from and right next to The Robins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Don Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 The parking space on Raynes rd is good value at £7 but the one on Irby Rd for £19.50 is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 if you are coming in on the A38 or A370 drive down the new link road , there's a new road into the far end of South Liberty Lane, street parking around Ashton Vale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbay_Red Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bedminster CC, for a fiver, is the best if you're coming in from that direction. Plenty of wheel spinning going on after the Leeds match though and one or two falling on their backsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 3 hours ago, RedM said: as surely the ground was there before any house owner. The original ground, with little in the way of grandstanding, was off to the right from today's pitch in the early 1900s. Its outline now partly lies under a blocks of flats and the old bowling green on Duckmoor Road. By around the middle of WWI the current ground was located where it is today, and had some earthwork/grandstands. At the same time, there were a few houses built close to the Ashton Road entrance, almost opposite the old Wedlock pub, including the old 'shed' that used to be at the back of the Open End; the rest of the area around the Gate was still to be properly developed.
