Any idea when tickets are likely to go on sale for Bristol City game? Website has port vale info but nothing for the Bristol game?
Any further info on this people? If not may ring City to find out what's going on - game less than 4 weeks away! Plans to make!
When I've gone to Bristol City before I have driven but I am thinking of making a bit of a day of it (ie. going to a few pubs) so may go by train. How easy/difficult is it to get to the ground from Temple Meads? Any advice appreciated.
It's a good 30 minute plus walk from Temple Meads, but just a ten minute taxi ride. Lots of great bars in the city so we're training it in
We took close to 3000 last season iirc. Great away.
We took 1724
Find that hard to believe. Not that I'm calling you a liar.
It's probably Bristol's corrupt turnstiles that stopped counting. How many times has Molineux been full and the official attendance was 25,000?

That's me corrected! Felt like and sounded like a lot more than that...
It did indeed. To Bristol's credit, their section of home fans on the opposite side of the segregation were pretty decent too considering the scoreline.
Just tried to see if I could get a Bristol ticket via the OS. Cannot book one yet as I don't have an away ST? As I understand it there are 2,200 tickets available for this game - FFS you'd think a 3rd Division club would be biting my hand off to sell me a $$$$ing ticket for this game?! Football just makes me sick.
Agreed, there can't be 2,200 ASTs so a stupid and arbitary rule that just fo us fans.I think this game will sell out pretty quickly however (good away day last year) so I understand the need to stagger sales...that said I don't know how many away ST holders we have but it can't be too many.
Now we need the pub recommendations.
What are you looking for? Beer/Food/Both? Family friendly etc? Quite a few decent pubs near to the ground but i'm not entirely sure which ones are safe for away fans - or for that matter actually welcome football fans. I'd assume most pubs on the Southville/Bedminster/Ashton side are all City pubs. Tobacco Factory is a few minutes from the ground and has great food and beer but its a family place really so bear that in mind. Pump House has really good food and half decent beer but its pretty pricey. Nova Scotia and The Cottage are close and would probably be ok. They're fairly cheap for Bristol but that's not saying much compared to prices in Wolves!. Lots of good pubs around the City Centre too but you've still got a fair walk to the ground from there unless you fancy catching the Ferry or a bus.
Cheers Westside.
Decent ale and a bit of character. Good food is always a bonus but we will probably go for the big breakfast option before we hit the pubs.
No kids with us on this trip so family friendly is not an issue. Will probably try a few in the city centre and then head in the direction of the ground.
If we were to walk part way to the ground are there any decent pubs on the way?
If you walk from the City Centre past City Hall then there's a great little pub crawl you can do on the way to the ground. Three Tuns is the Arbor Ales brewery tap and they have a great selection of cask and keg ales with the best sandwiches in Bristol by a guy called Meatandbread http://meatandbread.co.uk/ . From there stop in at The Bag of Nails - another great little pub with great beer. Next stop would be the Grain Barge - opposite the SS Great Britain and Bristol Beer Factory's flagship pub. Beyond there you could call in at The Merchant Arms - a tiny Bath Ales pub with great beer again, or the Cottage or the Nova Scotia. There's a map on here with part of the route and a write-up on a few of the pubs

Just went to book Bristol city tickets and there are two options. Seating and unreserved seating. What does that mean. Also anyone know the coach prices because it wasn't coming up on the official wolves travel.
