Bristol Rovers - Who's Going?

[Turkey]

You've got a left back to Brighton u tart, u can walk to Saltdean from there!!!

Your mate can only take me there can't he?

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

I'm going.

 

[Withdean and I]

Not me!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I'm there

 

[Artois]

Seriously contemplating it.

I can't get any time off work so it would mean leaving Shoreham at 5pm.

Anyone reckon my chances of getting there on time are good?

 

[Bozza]

You'll be chancing it. Route would be A/M27, M3, A34, M4, M32 - all fast roads *normally* but you'll obviously be in rush hour time through Chichester and past Pompey, and be hoping for no incidents to have happened on the M4.

After a night game at Withdean - I can do that drive in under 2 hours. If you could leave 30-45 minutes earlier, I think you'd be OK.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Surely you can get a couple of hours off Artois? Make up a doctors appointment

 

[Italiaseagull]

Can't make it, my first game looks likely to be QPR or Barnsley away.

bozza, seeing youve made the trip a few times; i'm coming from scumhampton, is it quicker to go up to salisbury and cross country or the above route (a34, etc..)

cheers mate, raph.

 

[Bozza]

I'd go M3, A34, M4 every time. On the A36 overtaking opportunities are few and far between - you WILL get stuck behind a lorry and/or a tractor that will be going all the way that you are. Central Salisbury will slow you up quite a bit too.

ok ta mate. another question for you, or anyone that feels talkative this lovely morning, as i'm feeling today. last time i saw as at rovers it was at twerton park. i have NO idea where the new(er) ground is? anyone be so kind....

 

[Bozza]

From the M4, take the M32 that goes straight into the middle of Bristol. Take junction 2 and it is signed from there. Note the large Goldstone-esque floodlight in the carpark by Tesco/Ikea. This is where Rovers used to play.
