Directions
Get directions to Ashton Gate from your house by entering your post code or location below:
Parking
Bedminster Cricket Club is the designated car park for the stadium on match days and is priced at £5 per car. However, there is plenty of street parking available if you arrive early enough to claim a space.
By Train
Most supporters travelling by train arrive at Bristol Temple Meads mainline station which is well served by trains from London and the South, but also with regular connections from the North and Midlands. The station is just over two miles from the ground, so walking isn’t advised! The city centre is to the northeast of the station – up Victoria Street and across Bristol Bridge.
The easiest way is to get up to the ground by bus. Service ‘A’ buses pick up an hour before kick off costing a flat rate £1 from Temple Meads station and then from several other stops along the way finally picking up at Hotwells Road before dropping off at the ground. Buses make the return journey after the game from Ashton Road, (behind the Atyeo Stand) by the Greville Smyth Park.

Stadium Info
Capacity at Ashton Gate is upwards of 21,000. However, after segregation the ticket allocation comes down to approximately 19,500. Average gates are generally around 16,000 and the nature of the stands being as close to the pitch as they are helps to generate a fantastic atmosphere. One i'm looking forward to being a part of in the near future. However, from a view point, the stadium is quite old and there are many pillars throughout the Williams and Wedlock stands. The Dollman and Ateyo stands are pillar free and offer perfect views.

Away Fans
Visiting supporters are housed at one end of the Wedlock (East) Stand accessed by turnstiles via Winterstoke Road and then the first left at the KFC roundabout and another first left. The away turnstiles are around 200m away. Views are restricted unfortunately by many obstructive pillars and you'll be lucky to find yourself in a good seat.
Food and Drink
Away fans are advised to steer clear of the Rising Sun, The Robins, Coopers Arms and Wedlocks which are all in the immediate vicinity of the ground and instead head to the north of the ground and over the plimsoll bridge over the River Avon. In between the various stretches of water there are a couple of really nice pubs which welcome away fans and are only within 10 minutes walk of the away turnstiles. On the very far side of the bridge is the Pumphouse and the Rose of Denmark. The Pumphouse is a rather nice pub which overlooks the harbour and has a pleasant outdoor seating area. The drinks are quite pricey but it does offer food too. The Rose of Denmark is quieter and is more of a traditional pub situated by the traffic lights on the dual carriageway.
