Firstly,
don't want to get involved in the full allocation of 2,500 tickets
that's someone else's decision.
So here is the local info for Saturday week
Coming by road.
Do NOT USE M4/M32 route and don't try to negotiate the roads and streets of Bristol
YOU WILL GET LOST
use M4 to M5 southbound to junction 18(Avonmouth) then follow signs A4 Bristol airport
It looks the long way round but its quicker.
Parking is normally in the streets around the area as long as you are there by 1pm please don't block driveways or park on corners.
TRAIN TRAVEL suggest splitting tickets and buy two separate day returns
Swansea to Cardiff and Cardiff to PARSON STREET.
and you can use the tickets on any GREAT WESTERN TRAIN
Buying tickets to PARSON STREET takes you two-thirds of the way to the ground and then walk the rest of the way
If you spot a number 24 get on it in either direction and it will take you the rest of the way.
The XX:29 minutes past the hour trains from Swansea are the best ones and is a very big train.
This will take you to Bristol Parkway then catch the first available to BTM or PARSON STREET
Group save is available which means you get a third off if three of you travel together.
RESERVE A SEAT THE TRAINS ARE EXPECTED TO BE VERY VERY BUSY
local info
Casualty used to be filmed in the City, don't ask me about the programme as I think its rubbish
The young ones was also filmed in the BS7 area of the City(actually its Bishopston)
Finally the block of flats on the left behind the dolman stand side as you are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools and horses"
Pubs possibly best ones are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house and the cottage.
Buy your match day programme before you enter the away end.
BBC Radio station is radio Bristol which has frequencies of BBC DAB
The other lot have the 94:9frequencey.
2010/11 season 1,630 Swansea fans visited Ashton gate on a Tuesday night with a 2-0 win for Swansea
2009/10 season 1,639 Swansea fans visited Ashton Gate and a 1-0 defeat
2008/09 season 969 Swansea fans ending in a 0-0 draw
If you need any further info,let me know

With so many going without tickets and the ensuing events that will happen, it could well be us by the end of it. |  | | |

I know you are a Wursel.
My question was would you class Bristol Rovers or Cardiff as your main rivals? | | | |

For Rovers there's probably more rival spice these days with Swindon, Cheltenham and Newport. | | | |

OP says this: Finally the block of flats on the left behind the dolman stand side as you are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools and horses"
Apparently it is going to be knocked down soon! Your last chance to pose like Del Boy or Grandad in front of it. |  | | |

I live in Bristol but am a Swans fan. I'd agree with pretty much everything the OP said. I'd urge a bit of caution for Swans fans on the day. Bristol City fans in the main are ok but they do have some idiots and it's a little lively around the ground (i.e. the pub BS3 is probably best avoided even if you could get in as an away fan). BCFC will be up for this game a bit and travelling down to the Liberty & having a pint in the Grand beforehand was "interesting" and nearly turned nasty in the reverse fixture.
Loads of pubs arounfd the waterfront. Even Clifton isn't that far to walk (3/4 mile - 1 mile away).
I'm after an away ticket for a friend so plaese PM me if anyone has a spare. |  | | |

You'll be in good company with our lot in the home ends. You'll be really lucky to pick up a ticket for the away end pal. | | | |

Hi all, I'm a Bristol City fan in peace.
I have little to add to Infoman and his excellent, er, info- but would add that pubs around the ground and a bit further afield are fairly strictly home only.
I believe the Tobacco Factory on North Street welcomes away fans, but Bar BS3, Three Lions, Coopers Arms, The Robins- fairly sure home only. Possibly the Miners Arms too is applicable. El Rincon on North Street, also home only.
Sure Infoman will add ones I have forgotten. [Post edited 15 Jan 2019 16:39]
