Admin phantom Posted March 29, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Arrangements are being put in place for the end-of-season visit to Bristol City by Birmingham City on 7 May. Because the city will be hosting the 10km Bristol Run on that day, it will mean street closures arrangements are being put in place for Birmingham City fans intending to travel to the game at Ashton Gate, which kicks off at midday. Fans travelling from Birmingham would normally exit the M5 at junction 18 and then travel to the ground via the Portway. However, because of the 10km run, which is being staged on Sunday morning this route will not be available to fans travelling to the ground via the M5. Road closures will be in place between 5.30am-1pm. Instead, travelling fans will be asked to continue to the next junction (J19) and to rendezvous at Gordano Services where they will met and led to the Ashton Gate ground in convoy with a police motorcycle escort. This will not be a formal police operation but aims to minimise traffic congestion for the travelling fans on the short journey to the Bristol City ground. Ashton Gate will be open earlier than normal to allow travelling fans to sit down and obtain refreshments. Around 10 coaches are planning to travel to the game on the day of the match and some Birmingham City fans are expected travel down the previous night and stay in Weston-super-Mare overnight. Junction 19 will prove an ideal rendezvous point for those travelling from the Midlands or driving to Gordano from Weston-super-Mare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''Tis true,I can remember walking along Southmead Rd with my old man,when a car pulled up and wound down his window,"excuse me", the driver said in a thick brummie accent,"we're lost,we're trying to find Severn Beach",with that he handed my old man a leaflet,and I kid you not,it said Severn Beach the Blackpool of the west.

I'm almost surprised they don't just decamp at Severn Beach. ....with the demise of the deliciously lovely local delicacy - the Severnside Cockle - (whatever happened to them?) I suspect the attraction of Severn Beach even to the Brummie has waned somewhat... those vinegary salty chewy little nuggets of gritty centred delight with lovely little yellow beaks just ain't the same anymore without the unique Severnside grit to crunch on.. they were irresistible. What happened to the cockle man who used to bring 'em fresh into the local pubs too? Very tasty when swilled down with a pint or two of Courage Tavern they was too! Severn Beach now is about as welcoming to outsiders as Royston Vasey ...only weirder ! PS.. the Severn cockle used to glow in the dark, allegedly, and make excellent Christmas decorations .. (thanks to their feeding and breeding grounds in the warm waters of nearby nuclear power stations) famous for it apparently. (heard backing the day Brummies used to take 'erm home by the bucketful to use for lighting when the shillings ran out in the meters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
