Live in North Somerset takes about 20 mins to get there and we have parking in Ashton Park School. If you are interested drop me a message. Phil Thanks Phil, dropped you a PM.

ZiderEyed Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah, couple of "opportune businessmen" in the adjacent field absolutely robbing a living off Bristol's shitey transport. Anyone else notice how easy everything was in Manchester? Trams, buses laid on, trains, cabs everywhere? Bristol must be one of the biggest cities going without a metro.

MCFC Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 So, onto a more important subject..... What's the beer selection like at: 1. Bedminster CC, and 2. Tobacco Factory. Any help appreciated lads (and lasses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobacco Factory. Any help appreciated lads (and lasses). Beer is very good at tobacco factory but pretty pricy. It has a good selection of local beer and a big outside area as indoors can get quite crammed. It's probably the only place around the ground that is away fan friendly. Can't comment on the cc as haven't drank there. An issue with tobacco factory is it has links with George Fergurson who has not been particularly helpful to city in the past and I know of several city fans who don't drink there out of principle now. However that was a while back and more city fans seem to be drinking in there pre match now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedminster CC is standard Social Club fayre from memory, and the Tobacco Factory I can't comment on as I've never been there and the George Ferguson link doesn't encourage me too. Not too keen on a guy that only likes football when it lines his pockets, and will do whatever he can to stop that changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel like trying an excellent selection of ciders (when in Rome and all that), I would recommend The Orchard which is about 15mins walk away from the ground. Last time I was in there they had roughly 25 different types from fizzy to farmhouse rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of better pubs around as well mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a farce getting the coaches parked at the ground though. All were sent directions sending them into a residential road, meaning they had to turn around, then a gert huge queue to get into the coaches parking.

I am travelling from Bournemouth for the City game on 23rd January and I'm weighing up best mode of transport. Ideally like to have a few drinks but can drive if needs be. Can I ask any advice? Is there suitable parking close to the ground? Has anyone or does anyone do this journey regularly and know of the best way? Thanks all and understand if this mods decide to delete. Dave Which city game? You’ll need to be specific mate, we play most weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you`re driving up from Bournemouth do you go anywhere near Dorchester? I was down there today and there are signs up saying the bypass is closed overnight for the next two weeks for roadworks.

We had a bit of a wait to get out but that wasn't a problem as most of our coach went to the chippy over the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdavecox90 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just to let you guys know, I did head to the cricket club. Got there about 6pm and it was full. Ended up going to the 'field next door' as I didn't know the area or where else to go and was stung for £20! Avoid like the plague! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
