Bristol Rob Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 @JulieH Does @reddoh still qualify for his free ride to the game in a jam sandwich, and can I still borrow a horse? If I can still have loan of a horse, please let me know the size and colour, I want to be sure I coordinate accordingly. Thanks in advance.

RedRock Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 2 hours ago, CodeRed said: I read it that the parking will be open. When the bus exits the P & R site I don't think there's enough room for it to turn left s it will pick up outside and run to the M5 , then Portbury and into AG through Abbots Leigh & Rownham Hill? Could be wrong but that's how I read it especially as it says it wont pick up on the bit of the Portway that is open (up to Sylvan Way) @JulieH can you provide some clarity on this? Take it that the Portway P&R is open for car parking? Then the buses are going to take their chances on the M5 to the nightmare Portbury junction and battle with the traffic down the Abbots Leigh road? For us coming up the M5 think it looks increasingly like take your chances in the car to The Gate and park wherever. Can't the runners just be told to keep out of the bus lane on the inward route allowing the buses free passage in, then route them back out on the Abbots Leigh road to do a circular?

Turbored Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 If the police are going to escort all the away fans from the services to AG , where exactly are they all going to park when they get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tts_city Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 So the portway p+r is going the same route as all the brum fans are going via Rownham Hill which is usually backed upto the lights by ashton court on a matchday anyway ? what could possibly go wrong.....

SedRA Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Birmingham are in awful form and even with 'Arry and Cotts coming in I can't see past a win for the Red Amber and Greens. 3-1 to the Traffic. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's down to the council not checking to see if there is a big event on in the city on that date. As for changing ko time it won't happen.

You'll be an easy target for any of the prowed lot if you're coming on an horse Rob. Even coaches can't escape the maurauding gas hit squad these days. Instead of an horse try Shanks' Pony.

The Bard Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Just now, Super said: Or just move the run back a week. I completely disagree with that. Some executive at BSkyB should not have the ability to cause this disruption. We should be away if there is a major event like we are when the balloon festival is on. Someone at the club, the football league or Avon and Somerset Police has caused this. The council are to blame for the state of our parks football pitches, but not for this.

Next season final day is 6th May so just have the run on the 13th. Really not that difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the council who have moved the race to a day when there is another event taking place nearby. This is the fault of no one else other than some egotistic tossers at the council.

Put it another way, I can't see when the 10K will be run in 2018 but already know when the football season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Bristol after all... It's the council's and Police's fault. Ejits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
