Montpelierblue Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Nevermind that, roads that were 40 are now 30 in most places like north rd heading in from coryton on the m4, most 30’s are now the insane 20, the mobile cameras will love nothing more than catching a few outsiders with no clue…..as the roads will prob be busy you should be ok as you’ll be stuck behind them. The WAG are wonderful, now everyone is spending more time checking their Speedo and road signs than noticing traffic or people crossing rds…..

redkev Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 If you wanna have a pint in a boozer somewhere once you get to Cardiff this is probably the train to avoid as old bill will be waiting for this one .

Fjmcity Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Can’t say I’m concerned. Sounds like one angry man shouting at clouds will be pretty easy to pass, Especially if he is going 20mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 If you’re travelling by car, and planning to use the car park at the ground, according to the BCFC website you’ll be disappointed. It says that there will be no car parking at the Cardiff stadium. Not really sure why: it’s always been available in the past as far as I remember.

RedorDead BCFC Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Anyone looking to get off at Magor and drive round the SDR to avoid the M4 the police are regulars now with their speed guns, by the lights as you approach Glan Lynn on weekends.

And I only found out at 5 today - so too late to phone Cardiff and check. It’s definitely on the City website though - in the ‘Derby information for travelling fans’ news item. Like you, I’ve always parked there in the past with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - saw the site after reading this Will try and book somewhere that looks relatively legitimate and look forward to the inevitable queue afterwards (thanks in advance if anyone has any advice for a parking solution!)

There were still some places available yesterday evening on Just Park, and not too far away from the ground. Very expensive though - £15+. And, mindful of the other advice on the City website, I’ve gone for one that you reach by turning right when you come out of the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the City website was talking bollocks after all that. There’s a surprise. parking is available at the ground as usual, and the steward on the gate has no idea why Bristol City told us otherwise.
