Directions to Bristol Rovers

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Why do the directions in our programme send us miles and miles right round Bristol on the M4/M5 and then into the City?

Surely the more direct route is as follows and as per the Footy Mad Website:

"Take the M32 and exit at junction 2, then take the 3rd exit at the roundabout which is sign posted Horfield into Muller Road, continue for approximately 1.5 miles going straight across three sets of traffic lights and at the sixth set turn right into Filton Avenue, the ground is situated on your left hand side, it's probably best to park just before you get to the ground as once you have passed it Gloucester Road is very difficult to park on."

Surely this is the better way?

For those of you that have been to the latest tip Brizzle call home (I have only been to Eastville and Twerton) do you know which is the best way?

Thanks.

M32 is a better way.
You need to try to avoid the M5 and especially the city centre

It was a bit of a shock result

It was sweet until I realised that it help you lot out.

I have no idea where our season goes from here.
All I hope for is that we are still in with a shout when we play you, cos it would be unbearable to hear you lot singing "we're going up, your not!!"

We do! Nearest is in Barcelona though, a good five hour journey north! But I don't think Bristol Rovers is near that one ...

Funnily enough I hope that the game is important to both of us - if you come here needing to win that makes for a more open match, which I think suits us. Is your good lady a Brizzle fan, or have you converted her?

She is a bit indifferrent regarding football, but she hates Orient as it messes up our social life and hates it when I get home from a game with the hump after we lose.

So most weekends are not that good
