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) but on Match days allow up to 25mins for the taxi journey. 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 August 3rd 3pm kick off.

Wize could this be made a sticky so I only have to alter prices and the visiting club unless serious things change ie road closures etc.
Another great idea Hawk Ill post this on our twitter for the home games and tag the team we're playing so it will get more views
Would have done but it takes him a week to get back and the game would have been over by then. But at least they changed the prices on the official site so I was able to alter them.
