Title: Rovers by Train Post by: eddiet on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 11:19:59 anyone done this before ? whats best station - Montpelier looks fave on google earth
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Bushey Boy on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 11:34:48 Both a nightmare, havent decided which one I will go to yet. Montpelier is closer by a long way and you also avoid all rovers main pubs which you will want to do
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Spud on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 13:00:29 Can't remember which one we got off at the other year but it was the one with all the main Rovers Pubs on. :/
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Panda Paws on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 13:13:13 It's about the same - Filton Abbey Wood is 2 miles, Montpelier is 1.8 miles - but the latter is uphill all the way there.
I'd argue if you avoid Gloucester Rd and go the back way from Montpelier it's the much quieter route - avoid all the Gasheads etc. Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 13:39:04 It's about the same - Filton Abbey Wood is 2 miles, Montpelier is 1.8 miles - but the latter is uphill all the way there. I'd argue if you avoid Gloucester Rd and go the back way from Montpelier it's the much quieter route - avoid all the Gasheads etc. When Wovers were at Eastvile, it used to be Stapleton Road. Now known locally as Crackhead Alley and recently announced as the most dangerous road in Britain...in terms of crime figures. So I'd give that a miss if I were you. Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 16:55:48 I'd be tempted to go to Montpelier, mostly because I know how to get to the ground from there.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Sussex on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 17:17:48 We did Montpelier last time, bit of a walk but found a nice pub on the main road on the way.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: yeo on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:20:20 Yep I did Montpellier last time and managed 2 pubs and an Offy without any hassle.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: leefer on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:26:41 Think ile be going by train for a change...get there early and bed down.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: yeo on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:33:42 Think ile be going by train for a change...get there early and bed down. Take your Lorry! Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:35:30 Take your Lorry! I think Leefer should run a TEF lorry trip to an away game....how many could we get in? Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: yeo on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:37:13 Jammed in the back like a bunch of illegals.
Ill stick to the Train I think. Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:41:23 Jammed in the back like a bunch of illegals. Ill stick to the Train I think. I think it could be done up to make it a bit more comfortable than the accommodation for illegals....illegals would turn their nose up at some of teh First GW I've been on. Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: leefer on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 18:43:17 Depends on how fat they are....took a lorry to the washed out Bolton Semi because i had work up ther....ended up bringing about 17 in the back...they were shellshocked when we got back,with the bumpy ride.

Bit like dried peas on a drum....perhaps it's not such a good idea :) Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 19:07:14 Just a reminder to those who don't know this match is All Ticket
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 19:11:48 Fuck. Forgot about that. Will have to phone up tomorrow and get it posted.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: leefer on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 19:13:46 Are they on general sale yet?
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Sunday, November 16, 2008, 19:31:16 when we went in the promotion year we got the train to Filton Abbey Wood and walked down Filton Avenue which runs parallel to Gloucester Road and avoids all the Rovers fans and The John Cabot pub which is where their hooligans drink. takes you directly to the ground
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Monday, November 17, 2008, 12:24:34 Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Monday, November 17, 2008, 13:51:53 Got my ticket. Really looking forward to this one, for no particular reason.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Nemo on Monday, November 17, 2008, 14:22:30 How much should these tickets be costing me? FGW site is coming up about 11 quid each, any cheaper splitting it or anything?
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, November 17, 2008, 15:22:14 Try return to Temple Meads and then again from Temple Meads to Montpelier.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, November 17, 2008, 18:07:21 That sounds about right. A normal return to bath is 9.50
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: dell boy on Monday, November 17, 2008, 19:02:25 For this game, coach to the ground, only way.
Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: herthab on Monday, November 17, 2008, 19:06:43 I've always gone by car to rovers. Always park in a side street off Gloucester rd, and never seen any trouble.
What's the betting I now get a kicking on Saturday? Title: Re: Rovers by Train Post by: donkey on Monday, November 17, 2008, 21:26:11 I've always gone by car to rovers. Always park in a side street off Gloucester rd, and never seen any trouble. What's the betting I now get a kicking on Saturday? Well I'll be in the car, if I get to Gloucester Rd before you, I'll hide in the bushes and give you a shoeing when you arrive. If you want. |
