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 Victoria
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. I have been informed
that 'away fans should avoid the John Cabot pub'.
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 & 74 run from the station past the stadium.
