burhou Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi All, Come up from Taunton with my daughter to watch City games. Have been parking in Ashton Court up to now but their closing time is now 17:15 which is too soon to get back to the car. Is it permissible to park in the Park and Ride? Thanks.

bcfcredandwhite Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Why don't you get the train? The Taunton train goes through Parson Street station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple of people who do with no problem but It is not advertised as being available ? I come up from that direction and go to the Brislington P and R via Keynsham, bit of a long way round but we stop at Street McDonalds on the way home.

RedRock Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Over the years travelling up from Devon have parked in that area in various locations around the ground. Every time I find what a I think was the ideal spot some bugger comes along and closes it! Did do the LA park and ride -the friggin obvious facility for match day parking clear to all but the ‘rulers’ who haven't a brain cell between them - but they had a purge on football supporters using it some years (possibly decades) back. Uncertain what the situation is now. Had used the cricket club for years until that became very restricted parking when someone grabbed a major part of the site and started charging sky-high prices. Like you, also used the Ashton Court car park but closing the gates during winter rules that out. Did start using the bus match day services and parked up at my Mum’s in WoT, but then that was withdrawn! So, I’ve fallen back to the Portway P&R, which is convenient to the M5. Heard (on here) that someone had his cat converter nicked while attending the match which ain’t great, but services are ok. Pretty packed return services post match from my experience so haven’t used it since Covid. Think I’ll be using the train in the future - great wander through the centre and various pubs. Bit of a rush back particularly as the ****** Bristol fast bus thingy that goes from AG to Temple Meads seems to ignore football supporters. Oh for some co-ordinated transport planning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 It's £10 in the field right next to the cricket club, by the bottom entrance to ashton court, when you come out it's straight down the A369 back to Taunton, as long as it's not been raining heavily leading up to the match you should be fine to get a space it's a rip off but if there are a few of you it only works out at a few quid each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around £16 return. Why someone would choose to drive and park, not be able to have a beer, then have all the hassle getting back our of Bristol, for more than double the price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Justpark and Parkonmydrive. If you book in advance you can normally get a place on a driveway very close to ashton gate for about £6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 To answer your question. Yes you can park in Long Ashton park and ride, plenty of people (including me) do so. It is also open til 10.30 weekdays so good for evening games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkwaymom Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Park and ride never seem to check whether users are catching a bus. Closes at 2245 so fine for evening games unless cup games with potential extra time / penalties, but it is closed on Sundays so not an option for Sunday games.

ralphindevon Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 I use the Portway Park and Ride, must say I can’t fault it. Very easy and reliable. I’m usually on the M5 south by 5.30 ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
