burhou Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 HI, coming up from Taunton for tonight's match. Usually use the park and ride but see it now shuts at 21:30.What is the score for parking in the John Lloyd centre. I guess it is pay but how much and is it open to the general public. Thank you.

Rudolf Hucker Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Portway P&R opens much later. Drops off by the KFC. Return bus (AG1) departs from outside of The Robins. You’ll be straight onto the M5 afterwards too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burhou Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Looking online seems the PortwayP&R also shuts at 21.30.Anyone know if you can come off the Cumberland basin system just before the swing bridge and get to the SS Great Britain car park.It seems to have been closed off for a long while and you have to go into Bristol then back down the river to access it.Thanks.

pongo88 Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 You could park in the Clifton / Hotwells parking zone as restrictions finish at 7.00pm. If you get there a bit before 7.00 you could take a chance on the basis that there won’t be many wardens about in the rain. (Don’t blame me if you get a ticket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I just messaged the OP. Anyone looking for parking very close to the ground PM me. 1 minute from turnstiles... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I try get to the ground 90 mins before ko and have always found somewhere to park on surrounding roads by driving away from the ground in bigger and bigger circles until I find somewhere. Never had more than 15 mins walk. It's getting more difficult as time goes on and much easier of course if you drive a smaller car. I see a few people who can't park their estates and Chelsea Tractors, but I've always found somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burhou Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks for all your replies. Went down to LA park and ride and parked on the grass outside no problems. People were going into the park and ride as the sign outside said closes at 22:20 which contradicts their website which states 21:30.Parking in Ashton Court for Sundays match as only £1.20 I think. Nice walk to ground as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to an AG1 bus driver after the match last night. He said that the last bus from the Robins back to the Portway P&R departs, for evening matches, at 11pm and that the P&R gates would thus be open until at least 11:30pm. This is the regular arrangement - typically AG1 runs for nearly two hours after the final whistle for ALL afternoon and evening matches. All AG1 drivers have an information sheet detailing last bus times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I see the car park at the bottom of Rownham hill next to the Bedminster cricket club have raised their prices yet again to £15 to park on match days so be warned, personally they have finally made me actually use the bus as only 3 seasons ago it was £5 so that's a 300% increase, the term greedy B****rds come to mind, shame a boycott can't be arranged as I think they are now taking the p*ss that's £5 an hour it's cheaper to park in the west end of London. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 A friend that had an arrangement though parkonmydrive was paying £5 a match a few years ago, now its £20. The Park and Ride works very well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with parking at Ashton Court is that the one way system takes you the wrong way on leaving forcing you towards Bristol on Cumberland Basin or the carnage at Bower Ashton roundabout.

It is actually okay in Aston Court as we go out past the cricket ground then turn left past the park and run down to the Clevedon road and onto the motorway homewards. Only inconvenience is sometime having to practice your hill starts going up the steep hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can’t I get over calling companies and getting a message saying: due to covid 19 pandemic our wait times…….. IMO Everyone is taking the piss in this country after the pando. £15 for match parking is a joke, any more and it would be worth taking a chance on park closer & risking a PCN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 On another note, what if you're coming from the East of Bristol (seriously, that's where my family are)? Or the M32? I used to just park by the river, but that's hopeless now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
