    This should be an interesting match up Bristol City who were relegated last season but with an almost new side only 4 of the starting 11 were regulars last season Bradford City promoted last season with a side much the same as got them promotion.
    Information for visiting fans
    Venue Ashton Gate Stadium Located in the south-west of the city, just south of the River Avon, it has an all-seated capacity of 21,497, with an effective capacity for football matches (depending on how many away tickets are allocated, and how they are segregated) of around 19,500
    How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
    Leave the M5 at Junction 18 and travel along the Portway (A4) following signs for the Bristol Airport/Taunton (A38). As you go over the swing bridge (Brunel Way), branch left into Winterstoke Road, and you will see the ground on your left.

    Parking at the ground is for permit holders only. Mitch Ford informs me; 'Parking around Ashton Gate has been severely hindered recently in that many streets now have double yellow lines. There is the Bedminster Cricket club on Clanage Road (A369) that offers parking at a cost of £5 per car. It is then around a 5-10 minute walk to the stadium'. Otherwise it is a case of finding some street parking.
    By Train
    The nearest railway station is Parson Street which is around a ten minute walk away from the ground. However few trains stop at this station so you are more likely to end up at Bristol Temple Meads mainline station instead. This station is at least two miles from the ground and hence too far to walk, so best to jump in a taxi (around £6). Neil Le Milliere a visiting Exeter City supporter adds '"don't try and walk it from Temple Meads railway station unless you really have to and then allow at least 3/4s of an hour for the journey". Chris Davis says; 'there are buses which leave from behind the Atyeo Stand at the end of the game which go to the centre of Bristol and Temple Meads Station at a cost of £1. Although predominantly for home fans, away fans could also use them'.

    Adam Hodson informs me; 'We arrived at Parson Street Railway Station after catching a train from Bristol Temple Meads. Trains are bound for Weston-Super-Mare and run every hour, coming back the train is bound for Bristol Parkway, again one train per hour. It's around a five minute train journey and around 10-15 Minute walk to the ground.'
    Ticket prices for visiting fans Bradford City game.
    Away Fans
    Wedlock Stand:
    Adults £22 (£20)
    Over 65’s £18 (£17)
    Under 16's £10 (£9).

    I know you usually do the prematch threads but I thought If I did some early research it would help you along.

    Like it- But I cant help feeling that Fontaine will still be involved- personally hope not, but get the feeling that he will start ahead of Williams- We will see

    Got a feeling that Fontaine is going to have a good season this year, he might be the scape goat for a bit, but this could be his season.

    You could be right RoD L1 could just be his level but it is his poor positional sense that worries me if they get past Flint is Fontaine going to be in the right place often enough?
