Never been to Ashton Gate before so I'm definately goin to the game, but can't decide whether to get the train or drive.
I've heard parking is crap so driving seems a bad idea, but then the train station is a 45 minute walk from the ground.
Anyone who's been before thats got suggestions?

Station is miles away but allows drinking. Leave it late enough and everyone seems to make up car parks from memory. I seem to remember parking on the slip road from the dual carriageway approaching the ground one year.

Its a long walk from the station especially at Plods pace.
Get there before the escort and you could do it in 25 minutes I reckon.

And what time do the 5-O normally turn up? |

dead easy to drive, last time i went my old man drove. was quite easy to park and that was when we took quite a lot during the playoff season, though i don't remember where we parked - it was quite near the ground though. somehow we even managed to get a drink and a bacon sarnie in a city pub.
unless you fancy getting messed around by the police and possibly missing half the game, avoid the train.

There's plenty of off and on street parking for free if you get there before 2pm. It's easy peasy to find, just follow all the other chavs from City!!

If I go I'll be coming from the other way so good chance I can miss the escort. although that will probably mean I'll get lost. Meh, I probably wont go anyway.

 An interesting fact for you about trashton gate. Do you remember the christmas only fools and horses episode where they accidently bring an illegal immigrant back from france aka 'gary' ? .... well the bit where they are at that car boot sale in the car park was actually filmed in the car park outside trashton gate. |
