Ashton Gate
Home of Bristol City in Bristol, capacity 27,000. Away fans are in the Atyeo Stand. North Street has the best pre-match pub crawl in the EFL, drink there then walk down.
Ashton Gate away guide
Visiting supporters are behind the goal in the Atyeo Stand, the older end of the ground, and Bristol City reserve its whole concourse for away fans. The turnstile printed on your ticket is the one nearest your seat, and you reach it through the Ashton Road car park, not between the houses on Ashton Road. There is no pay on the day for away fans, and it is a fully cashless ground.
Nothing bigger than A4 gets into Ashton Gate and every bag is searched on the way in. There is no bag drop, and umbrellas are on the banned list.
Checked 11 Sept 2026 against Bristol City bag policy.
Parson Street is the closest station at about 15 minutes from the away turnstiles, the club's own figure, with trains from Bristol Temple Meads in about 5 minutes. Note Parson Street has no step-free access. Temple Meads itself is a 40-minute walk, again their figure, or take their AG3 matchday bus. Parson Street is the shorter walk but it lands you away from the pubs: the nearest one is the Hen & Chicken at about 15 minutes and that is home fans only, with the Avon Packet 25 minutes the other way. Coming in through Bedminster and North Street is the longer way and the better one if you want a drink first.

- V ShedBig Wetherspoon on the harbourside at Canons Road, about 2.8km from the ground, so a city-centre stop before you travel out rather than a walk down
