OFF TO ASHTON GATE?

Posted on: Thu 04 Mar 2010

Off to Ashton Gate this weekend to follow the mighty Rovers as they take on Gary Johnson's Bristol City on Saturday? If so, Doncaster Rovers' Official Website has everything you need to plan your trip.

From a postcode for your car's SatNav, through to the best place to have a pre-match pint - our Away Day Guide sorts you out!

DESTINATION: Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol

POSTCODE FOR SATNAV: BS3 2EJ

HOW TO GET THERE: Leave the M5 at junction 18 and travel along the Portway (A4), following signs for Bristol Airport/Taunton (A38). Over the swing bridge (Brunel Way), branch left into Winterstoke Road and you will see Ashton Gate Stadium on your left.

WHERE TO PARK: Parking at the ground is restricted to permit holders only. There is an alternative car park on Ashton Vale Road - there are 400 spaces and parking costs £3.50. Spaces can be booked by calling 0871 200 3261. Street parking is also available.

TRAIN: The nearest train station is Parson Street, which is a ten minute walk from Ashton Gate. However, trains are far and few between to this station - so the alternative nearest station is Bristol Temple Meads. This station is a two mile walk from Ashton Gate and it is probably better to hop on a bus or grab a taxi.

PRE-MATCH PINT: Two good pubs for away supporters travelling to Bristol City are the Pumphouse and the Nova Scotia which are both on the Waterfront. The Hen & Chicken and the BS3 bar nearer the ground should be avoided by travelling fans, whilst The Robins pub - which was previously an away supporter's favourite - is now a restricted home supporters' pub on match day. Also - fans travelling to Ashton Gate should be made aware that no alcohol is served to away fans inside the stadium. If you are feeling peckish, there is a KFC restaurant just behind Ashton Gate within the nearby shopping park.
