Any advice as I did the PC World close by last time for about a fiver but as ground has refurb they don't have parking so PC World may get full. I see there is a Sainsbury fairly close but can you park there for matches.

Can book a driveway close by for £6 but wondered what other options are best?

I'm just going to park up on one of the streets surrounding the ground. Usually loads of spaces.

I'm thinking between parking at Bedminster Cricket Club (£5 according to Football Ground Guide, BS3 2JX) or just looking for street parking.

Aim for a street towards the top/right of this. The ground is bottom left.

Thanks Bozza but I have paid the £6 to park on someones drive which will save the hassle of hunting around......mind you I will be hacked off if I pass a lot of free on street parking nearby!!!

My 'loads of spaces' answer turned out to be bad advice......cars everywhere, took about half an hour to find a space.....ended up parking on the pavement by Sainsburys.

Nightmare.

Yeah I was bloody well chuffed to see that as I eased into my £6 space whilst receiving a casual wave from my benefactor from their lounge window.

Banked on parking at the cricket ground but found was full by the time we got there. Ended up missing the first goal.

Parked for nothing in the Wickes car park 5 mins away. Was quite shocked they weren't charging!

A ground in the middle of a busy city centre and so easy to get in and out. There were traffic queues but they kept moving. Compare & contrast with the Amex, an "out of town" ground surrounded mostly by fields and it's a nightmare!
