A good alternative for you if your stuck around the BW area on the M5 is to take the route I use. Come off at J23, follow signs to Glastonbury, after about 3 miles turn left and go through Woolavington and East Huntspill, stay on that road and go all the way to Cheddar, then you can get on the A38 in that area, your only 30 mins from AG then. Its avoids any risk of getting stuck on the M5. I drove that route to AG last week, took me about an hour from Bridgwater. Done that route many a time mate but you`ve still got to get to Puriton and that can be the worst bit sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, mind you, getting through Bridgwater is my worst bit!, but if the M5 is blocked ( or normal August bumper to bumper) you know you will definetly get to the game when using that route. If your coming from Taunton, wouldn't it be easier for you to go to Glastonbury and the A37 this time of year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve tried that but it`s such a drag up the A37, get stuck behind a lorry on one of the hills after Shepton and it`s painful. An awful lot of 30 limits along there too and you come into Bristol out by Whitchurch so have to get across town. I`ve done it a few times when I`ve been working Sherborne way and am going up for a night match on my own but you have to make sure you`re on your way by about 3 otherwise you barely make kick off. It`s actually quicker to go back to Taunton and up the M5 I reckon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not drive to Exeter and catch the return train to Temple Meads? £18 ish return...you'll get to Temple Meads around 12:30ish. You can walk to Ashton Gate, sample the atmosphere and build up in the fan zone and catch the full game. As others have said, this is the last really difficult travel weekend (until end of October) so whilst I recognise it may be a little more cost it may be worth it on the odd occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we'll be using it tomorrow. We live in Oxford...quicker to drive down the M4 and put up with the queue around Cribbs Causeway on the M5 than it is to drive down the M32 and through town. £4 each though...

RedRock Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 In Bristol already. Not risking that pesky road tomorrow. Tried the A38 once, instead of the M5 on a BH weekend. Took 3 hours from South Devon. Even with the benefit of avoiding seeing that monstrous carbuncle that is Morrison's Distribution Centre never will I deviate again! Another vote for the Portway Park & Ride, just a pity it doesn't come closer to W-o-T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollydog Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I moved to Devon around a dozen years ago and I am amazed at how many City fans I've met. I live in Chudleigh where there are at least two other reds (reduced by one now David James has moved on). I also run a local football junior football team and have a City supporting keeper and sit next to somebody at work who's a red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodbarmyarmy Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Portway P&R did I proud again today......almost as proud as the team in 2nd half.. .....I drive in on the Portway every morning to work up Hengrove and then out again every evening but never really get chance to appreciate it's beauty, ... sitting up top of a double decker with 3pts in the bag makes you realise it must be one of ,if not the most, picturesque routes into a city in the UK.....

Davefevs Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Stayed behind for a few minutes to applaud the lads, got the lift down, put to the Wickes car park, managed to get out of there in record time.

Dollymarie Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I park down the one way streer next to Duckmoor Rd. I got stuck for bloody ages today when the police shut the road just past the Rising Sun due to our numpties and their numpties having fisticuffs. Turned round in the end and went the back roads.
