OneTeamInBristol Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 If you don't mind a bit of a walk you don't have to pay anything by parking off street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is primarily street parking, secret is get there as early as you can and be mindful of any parking resrictions If you want a guaranteed place, try this website Ashton Gate Stadium Parking | Guaranteed Spaces (justpark.com) I am astonished that someone is asking over £80 to park !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornbury Red Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Used the Portway P&R since it was opened - very efficient service - would advise to use that as takes all pressure away 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Portway P&R is the best option imo. Plenty of buses, very quick, cheap and efficient. Just be aware that the return bus stop is outside of The Robins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Thanks. What time are the return pick ups as can't see anything on the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time are the return pick ups as can't see anything on the website? https://www.bcfc.co.uk/ashton-gate/getting-here/ The Portway P &R bus is the AG1. Times are on the above website . After the game the exact times depend on the traffic, usually 2 buses waiting at the stop after the game and they will leave as soon as they are full. You then have to wait while they run down to the P & R and return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s more than just two buses in operation so you shouldn’t have to wait for those two buses to go all the way to the P&R and come back.

Understand regarding leaving your car on a street, but I don’t think I’ve seen in 25 years plus of watching city cars being broke into. It’s normal residential roads with a lot of people passing by, it’s not unlit industrial estates etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find out if your car would be exempt on the council website. If you’re coming from Wales I’d just use the Portway P&R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Could advise using the train TWO services an hour from Cardiff to Bristol temple meads,change at BTM for service Parson Street,then the walk to Ashton Gate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Thanks all much appreciated. Maybe street is the best option. Just don't wanna get a ticket or be clamped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't wanna get a ticket or be clamped I would add a +1 to the portway park and ride option. Used it for the past 2 seasons, coming in from the M4 Eastbound, it's pretty handy - buses are very regular, start 2.5 hours before kick off and run through to 2 hours after full time (I think) and are every 15 or so mins.

Guest Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Thank you. Is it free to park there. And how much is return for the bus as goy my wife and kids. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smith & Gavin Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 It is free to park and all the ticket prices are on the link already posted above: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/ashton-gate/getting-here/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchred Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Portway park and ride is superb, if you get the first bus to Ashton gate it's only £1 return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I was thinking £15 for family of 4. Or is it £1 each, prices on the link show 5 people for £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's 4 of you though the bus fares do add up (£14.95) - if you're coming from Wales though probably easier to take the family to Newport v Gillingham instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I seen dj parking on website. Is this still going £10 per car and 7min walk. Is there many spaces?? How long before kick off should I arrive. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I used park and ride and was fine. Rubbish results for first game. Got tickets now for leicester. Will the park and ride be open as Easter Friday?? And does anyone know about the dj parking as may get back to the car quicker if this is an option. Not sure what time I should be there as a 12.30 kick off? All help is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it will be the usual timings - first service (the £1 one) is 2.5 hours prior to kick off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper and quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last weekend I used the train from Wales for the first time in ages and found it logistically easier to get the AG3 from Temple Meads straight to the ground. Glad I did as it was chucking it down afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Quick refresher of this topic - regarding on street parking, how far in advance do you need to arrive? I'm coming down with the boy at the weekend, as luck would have it heading to Cardiff after to drop him back at uni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
