Bristol City 5th March

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I wouldn't have thought they'd want to chance the post now, but it will be POTG as the away end is large and we won't come anywhere near filling it on a Tuesday night.

Okay, cheers

Why not go on the Supporter's club bus. £33 includes postponement insurance.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

We got 3 tickets for the away end through Bristol City yesterday.

Anyone know what transport to/from Ashton Gate from Bristol Temple Meads is like?

I think they have shuttle buses from the station to the ground.

Taxi or walk. It's a long walk.

Getting a train from BTM to Parson Street would work, as it's just down the road from there, but there are only 1 or 2 trains per hour that stop there.

Cheers. Have looked at Parson Street but trains are too irregular to get last train back towards London unless I leave with 10 mins to go. Google maps says just over 2 miles from BTM to ground; I'll wear my running shoes.

When you get to BTM, check the departures board. At that time of day most of the trains to Weston will stop at Parson Street so jump on one. There are no barriers at Parson Street so you won't have to pay. Maybe walk/run back to BTM after the game.

I have the day off work for this, looking forward to it!

Did we win there last season? Can't remember. I think I recall Barnes scoring somewhere along the line.

Either way, looking forward to it, and a pub or two serving decent cider.

It was about about 16:45 and I was just concluding my Best Man's Speech at [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION]'s wedding reception some 175 miles from Bristol when someone, [MENTION=2223]e77[/MENTION] possibly, shouted "we've scored, it's 1-0!"

And that's how it finished.

Many Subway sandwich shops in the area?

That's the one. Made a nice change from my first visit where I left shouting Magoo out with everyone else.

Good to see that your memory is better than mine despite me actually having been at the game

In my defence, the scenic, 200-stop south coast rail journey down via every poxy village between Brighton & BTM probably caused me to require more alcohol than is standard for such a trip.

PS: when you say "and that's how it finished", did you mean the game, or your speech?

 

[ManOnTheRun]

Does anybody know what our initial allocation was for this one. The website has been saying sold out- awaiting next batch for a day or so now

Tickets are now back on sale online. I just purchased one ...

Nothing near the ground, I'm afraid. I'd grab a pasty from the shop under Temple Meads.

All of the above.

My brother was texting updates while I sent him highlights of your speech.

Or just a nice bit if grub in the Cottage, nice pint. Then ten minute stroll across the park....easy

I'm sure the bride's family appreciated it. LOL.
