For the first time for ages I had to leave the game a few minutes after the final whistle. Is the traffic usually that bad?
From being parked by Horfield Common, I got to Staple Hill just before 3.30. I could have almost walked it quicker!
I know that the SC have advertised the benefits of staying to have a drink (non alcoholic if driving!) and bite to eat while watching the highlights, but the alternative to being stuck in traffic crawling about 5 miles an hour was the biggest advertisement for staying in the clubhouse.
I could have stayed in the bar for 40 minutes and still got home about the same time!

That's not good. I usually park off Filton Avenue (Wessex Avenue area) and I normally get back home in Burnham on Sea no more than an hour later, cutting through Cribbs and down the M5. Must admit though when I visit family in Fishponds after a match it does take an age to get down Muller Road. Think you may have been unlucky on this occasion though.

I usually have no problems. Think it may have been a one off.

Park Ashley Hill area, go back that way, then along Glenfrome Road, Bell Hill, Blackberry Hill then on to Staple Hill
No probs. I always stay passed the final whistle

Another good reason why we need the UWE, just think if we had a full house or a redevelopment of the mem to say 15,000
God help us

Part of the Mem re-development plans were improved parking ie Park & Ride etc, although trying to get out of one car park exit at the UWE is hardly going to be great anyway, at least at the Mem there's Glos Rd & Muller Rd etc to not just the A38. Oddly increased crowds at the Mem doesn't usually greatly increase the traffic.

Traffic on Glos Rd/Horfield Common is always bad for 20 mins or so after a match. I always catch the bus home in Glos Rd,was home by 2.45 on Sunday,but that was because didn't have to wait more than 5 mins for the bus.

I have never left the stadium before the end of a game and I'm generally back in Sodbury by 5.30 for Saturday games.
Traffic is never that bad provided you avoid one golden rule. DONT GO ANYWHERE NEAR MULLER ROAD because the whole of our East Bristol fanbase seems to use it!

I parked up on Kellaway didn't move from my spot until after the players left the field and was back in Wsm by 3. Think you've had a mare getting home

I left at the final whistle and arrived home in East Kent at 1800, normal journey for me. Perhaps you were unlucky

It took ages to get along Filton avenue. Nightmare traffic, will hang around next home game for an hour after.

I only know the Muller Road route to the ground. Took me 50 mins from top to bottom after the Barnet game (left the ground once the players were off the pitch). How long do you need to hang around after the match for the traffic to clear?

How long do you need to hang around after the match for the traffic to clear? A very long time. I usually wait for the crowds to clear a bit then takes me a while to walk to the car. Look up the results on my phone. And it's still busy. I don't mind too much as itis quite fun listening to the total bollix on the radio while you drive.

The highlights are worth a watch and the ManU/Liverpool game is certain to be on.
