Homer Simpson Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I will leave the house at 6pm and be stood in the concourse, Thatchers in hand by 6.10pm. Although that could be 6.15pm if I decide to put out extra cones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take her for a nice early evening meal somewhere convenient, then walk to the ground. She will then go to my daughters and come back and pick me up somewhere around the Cumberland Basin. Nice huh? Sounds simple doesn't it, but I had to write this down for her before she got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 You all don't know how lucky you are. I shall be leaving home at 16:30 for a 2hr-ish drive up the M4 to a hotel near Heathrow ready for an early hours flight abroad. Of all the days for my Mrs to book a holiday it had to be this one. Luckily, I have found a pub about 20mins walk from the hotel that has Sky Sports now I just have to hope they are showing the game. If they aren't, I may just walk up to Sky HQ in Isleworth and demand they let me watch it in the studio with the pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I have a bit of a predicament. I want to get to the ground at 4 but that seems too early but then 5 seems too late. Getting beers, going to the toilet etc is going to take a lot longer than usual so I want to give myself extra time for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the M5 was closed back at the end of September, it took us nearly 2 hours to get home from Miller and Carter in Cribbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 My biggest worry is if some dozy berk has an accident on the M25 and it grinds to a halt. Leaving work at 2 (Essex) so in theory I should be in Bristol about 5, maybe 6 if it's busy. Got a lift lined up from Fishponds (Wifes cousin) if running later, or my parents (Hartcliffe) if on time. Going by the panic that people are having I don't be able to park anywhere convenient as people are parking tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Was going to leave early, but after reading this I think I’ll wait for the 4oclock rush to die down, and for everyone to have got to North St/Spoons/the pub. Then, leave at the usual time and expect less traffic than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Parking near the ground has become much more difficult in the last couple of seasons so I've pretty much given up driving to games. On the plus side this enables me to have a few beers. I'll be getting the bus, aiming to get to North St by about 5.30 for some pre-match pub time.

BS4 on Tour... Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 22 hours ago, spudski said: It's not the amount of cars on the road that's the problem...it's the continual procession of public on foot, crossing roads, either on zebra crossings, like the four around St Mary Redcliffe roundabout ( which is absolutely mental ) and traffic lights for said public crossings. If we still had public footpath bridges, and use of subways, we wouldn't have the traffic congestion we have. A very simple solution that the Councils in Bristol and around the rest of the Country have screwed up. Spot on, the four zebra crossings on the Redcliffe roundabout cause all sorts of problems, whoever decided to put them there is an idiot, it’s mayhem in the mornings....

All the Sags will be in hiding until after the game when they plan to come out en masse and celebrate our defeat with an open top bus tour and will be plastering it all over Facebook delighting in how deluded we were thinking that we actually had a chance to beat Manchester United.

More likely to be in the hundreds than the thousands, I suspect. I'm with RRH on this one We commented on how many empty seats there were before the crowd was announced, everyone around us said the same thing when we heard the attendance was 20k no way more like 17.

I’ve paid £5 but booked it the same day the draw was made! Mine was £8 last week up near parson street, as I am driving the four others in the car will be paying for it.
