Bristol City (A) LeagueCup SF 2nd Leg - PreMatch Thread

[citymad]

Very hard game to predict. Of course we should go through if first 11 plays but with Mangala and Toure playing we'll be over run a bit. The crowd may get to us. I fear penalties.

Bristol have giant's at the back. Need Mangala here, and Toure might be handy too.
I watched them draw against Derby on Friday. Their keeper had a blinder, but they created enough too.
We will have to be on it, they are no mugs this lot

They are a decent team but they’re also in a horrible run of form, haven’t won since Boxing Day and have scored only 1 goal in 5 matches which was the pen against us. I get the feeling that as much fun as they’ve had from this cup run it’s been a big distraction and I suspect that there will be some relief when it’s over

no matter how small/crap people think this trophy is, the reality is City are ahead in a 2 leg cup tie against a Championship side with the next game being a final at Wembley.

Not getting to the final will be seen as a slight on the club, you know that's how it will be overspun, so qualifying is the only option at the expense of tired legs.

If you're not in a rush it's walkable P2 but it's a fair hike (40 minutes I suppose). Jump on either a water taxi or the 24 bus and you'll be a fair bit closer.

Morning mate .have you any recommendations where to park as have read parking is really poor round the ground mate getting to bristol about 5:30 mate ?

Firm bekiever that winning trophies can breed a winning mentality and a desire for more. Very few of the players who won it in 2016 are still here or even regulars now, so getting through and winning it would be a great boost for everyone.

Parking is a bit of a mare unfortunately

Best bet if getting here at that time (Fills up early but 5.30ish should be fine is Bedminster Cricket Club (Clanage Road)
£5 and you can get a pint there too if you fancy - 5- 10 min stroll to ground

Be sure to park at the Cricket Club as the arses in the next field (In front the nursery) were charging at least double that for Your red neighbours

You should be fine for on street parking that early, Bedminster Cricket Club should be open by then, it's a fiver with the bar open and food available, five minutes walk to the away end and easy getting away after the game. Post Code BS3 2JX

Hi Mr T, at 5-30, you should be okay for street parking near the ground but any later and you probably won't find anywhere. Most away fans head for the already mentioned Bedminster cricket club at BS3 2JX. Nice and easy in and out, a short walk to the stadium and very sociable. Just be careful that you park in the cricket club at a fiver and not in the next door field where you will be ripped off.
One word of advice, even if your sat nav tells you to go on the M4 and M32 into the city, DON'T! Stay on the M5 as the city centre is a total car park at the mo. If you're heading for the cricket club, use J19 (A369) which take you to the entrance or, alternatively use J18 (A4) which brings you in very close to Ashton Gate.
Have a safe trip.
