OutstandingMixer Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 3 hours ago, Between heaven and hell said: I'm with RRH on this one We commented on how many empty seats there were before the crowd was announced, everyone around us said the same thing when we heard the attendance was 20k no way more like 17. There's always going to be loads of empy seats in a 26k+ stadium. I reckon the actual attendance was probably around the 19k mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we still had public footpath bridges, and use of subways, we wouldn't have the traffic congestion we have. A very simple solution that the Councils in Bristol and around the rest of the Country have screwed up. Have you ever used a pedestrian subway? People have been mowed down on dual carriageways rather than take the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBristolRed Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Considering using the Portway Park & Ride for the first time, anyone know if the service is reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’ll be coming from Southampton for this. Leaving about half 4 so I’m hoping the M4 and M32 will be kind to me! The M32 going through the City centre and hotwells is my best bet, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Somerset Red Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Leaving work at 3 and hoping to leave my house by 4 which should be plenty of time. I hope the m5 is kind to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get the park and ride , it is reliable , however after the game if you don’t get on one of the two busses you then have to wait for them to unload at portway and get back to the gate !

City fan 1982 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Anyone know how many spaces the cricket club at bemmy will have available ? Otherwise I might have to pay a tenner at the car park next door for a tenner , and then have trouble getting out as ground will be muddy ! I’m leaving portishead at 5. Still unsure where to park , hopefully North Somerset side , long ashton ? Then maybe a walk to Sainsbury’s for me tea , then robins for a couple !

ChippenhamRed Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Is anyone able to confirm if the Cumberland Road roadworks (including overnight closures) have finished? From what I can find online they were due to finish on the 15th but I can't find any confirmation anywhere that they did. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From M4, Bath junction and Ring Road at Warmley might be a better option......through to the new South Bristol Link Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokered Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Parked in Hendre road a few hours ago. Couldn’t see any parking restrictions. Anyone know if this road is ok to park in for the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I moved my car at 2pm down to Frayne Road so its a tiny bit easier to get away but even then parking spaces were few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d check what time the last bus is to Park & Ride. Normally the Long Ashton P&R, during the week, closes at 9:30pm. Not sure about Portway P&R, or if due to the match the opening hours maybe extended? COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Portway P&R is running 'til 11.30 tonight - details here: It would be great if they had more than the two buses on it though! Expecting a long wait at the end of the match...sadly...
