Richard Grant Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 It certainly is, probably the best Rangers boozer in Glasgow only a stones throw away from the San Giro too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Grant Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I know Dennistoun and Bridgeton are two of the biggest Rangers areas in the city right next to Peadodome it is quite bizarre really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born and Red in 82 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 4 hours ago, Richard Grant said: Hi I am A Rangers fan working in Bristol for a few months, Due to the snow all flights to Glasgow have been cancelled today so it I am stranded in Bristol for the weekend. So instead of going to Ibrox on Saturday I am looking to take in the match at Ashton Gate. Was looking for any recommendations as to where is the best stand to watch the game, wheres best for a pint and the best way to get to and from the game from St Pauls. I would imagine its quite a tasty fixture against Swansea being not too far away and both teams sitting just outside the play offs Cheers in advance Pint at The Ostrich..... then a stroll to The Orchard... then over the river to The Avon Packet....then a stroll to the ground for a Pint in the Fan village...watch the game Win...All hail King Johnson....Lose...

GreedyHarry Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 If you walk to Primark on The Haymarket you can catch a 24. Takes you to North St. Any number of pubs that are all pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Richard Grant said: looking forward to it hopefully the snow will clear a bit by tomorrow. There's loads of them in town.If it was near the ground it could of been the Park bar or the wee Rangers club... there's loads of good pubs around only dampened by Scottish licencing laws on Sundays and sky/BT early kick offs. He said there was a massive bloke behind the bar called big malkie or something... probably 25 years ago now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 So maybe it is easy for a non city fan to purchase a ticket for the home end then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: @Richard Grant you should’ve looked up your old mucker Paul McGann, he used to live in Bristol. Really would’ve been Withnail and I. He lived three doors down from me in Clifton. Also had that bloke from Hollyoaks a couple of doors down. At one stage Jacki Dziekanowski rented the flat opposite. Every morning when opening my living room curtains I could gauge how Jacki's night had gone by the angle of his Mercedes and the distance it was from the kerb.

Renaissance Williams Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 3 hours ago, Richard Grant said: I'll have look out for that.... I think there ground is just up the road from where I'm staying. I would of probably went to Cardiff v Bournemouth as my company get loads of free tickets there anyway and its only about an hour away on the train. Probably best to stress that you'd have gone to cheer on Bournemouth...….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it will be a little strange. He has done well, bags of pace and ability. just needs to find consistency. He tore Scott Brown and the Celtic defence a new one at the last Old Firm game.

I phoned the ticket office and asked if you need to be a member and was tolled i can turn up and buy them on the day if i wanted. I did have to register to buy the ticket online. when we played Sheffield Wednesday in pre season a couple of years ago, I was working in Scunthorpe and tried to register for them but you couldn't 1st ticket for a grade 1 match apparently. which was nuts as we took about 15k down and the home ends were empty.

Unan Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 @Richard Grant Can you let us know how your experience goes please. It isn’t often we get someone new in the home end of our ground. As you can imagine all away fans just say it’s a shithole, because we’re playing them. It’ll be interesting to hear an opinion of the new Ashton Gate from an outsider.

Irishred Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 "Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly...."
