After trying to get out of the top of the South stand (block 21) after a game I find that very hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s maybe a slight exaggeration but we’re regularly the last to leave the ground from the top of e29, it’s awful to get out of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, 1 exit for hundreds of fans could be catastrophic in an emergency. The club should have redeveloped every stand to be like the Lansdown in terms of exits, everything is so much quicker there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to install those inflatable chutes like they have on aircraft for emergencies. Either that or build a couple of helter skelters up inside the stand at each end?

The earlier you are, the closer you can park and the quicker you can get away. Just park and go for a few beers, coffees or whatever floats your boat. Alternatively use just park or offer someone a few quid to park on or in front of their drive. A lot of local residents are City supporters and are going to the game anyway so will let you park in front of their drive for nothing.

The problem is the bottleneck at the vomitoriums you wouldn’t get that in an emergency as people will be exiting via the pitch and not through these as the chances are they will running back in to a burning building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Plenty of cars received tickets on Winterstoke Road yesterday, mostly for pavement parking. Some on double yellows near to Malvern Tyres were towed away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 One thing I learnt today. Don’t park in the industrial estate behind the old Ship & Castle. £8 for the privilege and only took 50 minutes to get out of the car park! Not very good with a 5 year old in the car. Won’t be going there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re combing yourself for paying where there’s loads of free parking with no other disadvantage. Earlier you get there, the closer you can park by Winterstoke road to get out after the game.

I know. I drove all round the immediate area for about 25 mins and there were no spaces. I’d usually park a bit further afield but my daughter gets tired if she walks too far so had to decide upon either keep driving round and round or just bite the bullet and go into a ‘paying’ car park. Trust me - I won’t be doing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
