I have been there quite a few times so the away end held no surprises for me. But it is amazing how much of a snob one can become with the way things a going both on and off pitch as we look down on the back-less seats with a shallow view and then the fact we play far superior football to anyone else in this division. Also, as much as I love the Amex, there is still a charm about traditional football grounds.
Another point to make is I was impressed with the home support who although had that bloody drum pretty much kept singing non-stop until our goal...Good effort.

more about transport to and from ground....1 hour drive from home, parked on street.
match day programes local news paper....don't know haven't read it yet, but the quality doesn't appear to be as good as ours for the same price.
catering in the ground ....bog standard.
Stewards and match day staff(turnstile operators?) ....bog standard.
pubs in the area....went for a quick pint in Redland near my brothers old house (the Kensington Arms). Nice pub.

Agree
Ashton gate is a tidy ground
The only thing that was shit was the programme (lightweight content)

My views:
Seats-Don't care as I was standing the whole game
Staff-seemed friendly the ones I encountered, no complaints there.
Food-What I expect at a football ground, not fancy but eatable
Programme-Can't judge as didn't get one.
Transport-I walked from Temple Meads, only took about 30 mins so no complaints there, I know they had buses going back to temple meads after the game but decided to walk anyway.
Overall enjoyed the day

On the way to the ground it struck me that their kit looks very similar to Swindon's (both made by Adidas) AND they share the same nickname!
My ticket for this game failed to turn up in post and our glorious ticket office had failed to send details for me to get a duplicate at the stadium. Ticket office there were friendly and helpful even though I had to pay for another ticket.
Chicken Balti pie at half time was pretty good. Quite liked the retro feel of the stadium. Seemed a bit odd that the 500 fans of theirs who did sing were under the same roof as us. Drums should be banned. Bit piss poor of their fans to be pissing off as early as they did - they had a chance to save it before the end (great save ankergren!)
Favourite part probably the 10 year old stood guard outside a home pub giving evils. Bless him.
Also coppers with west country accents inherently funny.

Is there a big park still behind the old away end,now the home end? went when we stood on the away terrace years ago & the side stand a bit like Watford was half finished.

I got the early train up, got there at half 12, plenty of time to find a nice pub (the pump house). En route to the ground via the park, joined in with all the singing as we got closer to the ground... Then some prat got angry towards me giving it the big' un trying to impress his mates (failing miserably). Cant complain about the seats being crap due to not using them! Vocally erupted ashton gate after the goal! bit of grub after the game!

Just got back after a big one!! Agree with some, why slag it off, I love city away-proper away day, bit of an atmosphere, proper away end with every standing-how it should be!! Good turnout but fair play - we have some f***** retarded fans!!

Yep, I walked through it to get to the ground. Got to admit though, I only moved here last week, if you'd asked me that question before yesterday i would've had no idea...

Excellent. Easy street parking. I love the ground - great atmosphere in the way end. Traffic congestion after the game, but no one can help that. I thought the stewards and police were all friendly and laid back.

my 1st away game of the season......... went with LondonBlue on the train. Had a few ciders on the way up !! met a few Bristol city fans at the station and went with them for a few in the local spoons 
friendly bunch i thought although the older lady in the pub didn't like me shouting SEAGULLS walked to the ground from there which was about 10mins. As for the ground i thought it was a nice ground been to worse lol seats well only used at half time so who cares ?? Balti pie was great lol so we had 2 football was ok 1-0 win so all good we will play better than that and lose !! ground staff and old bill seemed friendly enough ! view was not the best but a good noise from our lot ! shame to see so many go b4 the end........... not our fans though. 15 hr day for me but all in all a great day out. next away game for me will be Ipswich

So that's why you were going in the opposite direction to us when we saw you in the car after the game!

I came in on the A4 early and parked on the street near a park with a simple walk to the ground. Sat on the low rake seating near a corner flag, which doesn't do anything for the perspective, around 1.40pm., and stayed there till the end.
There was a stark contrast in the stewarding there and at Cardiff. The Cardiff stewards were jovial and helpful, while the BC lot were more geared up for conflict. As the crowd built up, there was lots of twoing and froing, pointing, and quiet words in ears among the stewards, with one guy inside the stand near the pitch perimeter wearing a Stone Island jacket WTF!!! They were heavy handed with the guy who over-celebrated our goal, which was a bit uncalled for tbh!?
