RedLionLad Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Plenty of cars parked on the pavement along Winterstoke Road had parking tickets on their windscreens after today's game. I'm guessing they won't park there again, so be warned about using their vacated spaces at the next home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to pay £150 to get his car back, plus taxi fares home and to the compound the following day. Cars (with blue badges displayed) who were parked there today didn't even get a parking ticket.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's fairly obvious it would happen. However, agreed about the infrastructure and the transport options to the ground are average and overpriced. All I know? It'll become worse when it hits 3 out of 5 games of 25k or more.

Pezo Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 After seeing how they deal with this at Man blue just made be realise how Bristol cant sort out anything. Its simple, close the road out the back of the Atyeo to anything other than busses, park a load of busses there and get fan's all over the city in next to no time Gordano, portway, Cribbs, city centre/temple meades, stoke Gifford, portishead, yate ect we also have a lot of fans in Weston so busses to weston. Why cant the people in charge organise this? Its like we have a council that dont want large event's to happen or the skills within the city to understand how to deal with large events.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Good - there is some absolute joke parking in the surrounding roads. As I've always said - so many free spaces to be had a 20 minute walk or less away. Just pure laziness from some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when the Wickes redevelopment is done there'll be more (paid) parking but in the meantime make the most of free on-road parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am glad this has happened. Parking round the Gate is fine. Got to BS3 at 2:40 last time I went, parked half a mile away and made it with five mins to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been for years No other major city has had to suffer like ours from decades of council laziness and incompetence. There’s no parking cos the London exiles are clogging the streets with their SUVs. Not your spot mate if you don’t like it chuff off out of Bedminster and back to Balham. This city is going to the dogs. Go to Manchester, Sheffield, Brighton, Glasgow wherever you like and they’ve all had millions spent on public transport infrastructure. The city’s been red for decades but all we have to show for all that council tax paid is social justice causes for champagne socialists. Spend the money on what the people want and need I beg you. A train line and station would be a nice start. Tearing what’s left of my hair out over here. BS4 til I die but I’ll be forced to move to Bridgwater soon at this rate.

I've walked through the park last year on my way home from work, and it was practically pitch black - I think I could see more if I closed my eyes. I'm sure there was a condition of the planning permission given to the redevelopment of The Gate that City upgraded the path across the park (that ends at the Ashton Road toilet block) and also light it. There were one or two posters on here that were really up on this a couple of years back but I've forgotten who they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same as Man U game - no issues. There really is so much parking knocking about if people just did their homework and weren't lazy.
