Bristol Rovers
Directions
Exit M5 at junction
16 (Signposted Filton) and join the A38 (South) towards Bristol City
Centre. The ground is about five miles down the A38. You will pass
the large British Aerospace works and further on, you will pass on
your left the Inn on the Green and the Gloucester pubs. At the next traffic lights,
the Memorial Ground is signposted to the left and is about 100 yards
down this road. If you go over the lights you will see the
Wellington pub on your right. There is a fair amount of street
parking around the sides and back of the pub.
Pubs
Pete Stump recommends; 'The Queen Vict pub on the Gloucester Road
(five minutes
walk from the
ground) which usually has a
comfortable mix of home and away fans -
unfortunately it's not that big and does get busy'. Rhys Gwynllyw a
visiting Wrexham supporter recommends the Annexe Inn next to the
Sportsmans Arms. 'The Annexe Pub is friendly has
previously been listed in the Good Beer Guide. Last time I
was there it had seven real ales on tap. I had no hassle at all in
my Wrexham top'. Steve Pugh adds; 'The Annexe Inn is in Nevil Road,
which is about ten minutes walk from the ground. You can find it by
following the signs for the County Cricket Ground'. Otherwise there
is a bar behind the clubhouse terrace that allows away supporters in.
By Train
The nearest railway station is Filton Abbey Wood, which as
Peter Moody informs me; 'is approximately 1.5 miles or 20-25
minutes walk away from the ground'. More likely though you will end up at
Bristol
Parkway which is about two miles away from the ground and is really
too far to walk from, so you are probably best to jump in a taxi or
buses 73/73A/73B run from the station past the
stadium. |
