just to bump this back to the top and point out, thanks to Powelly, that there is now a fresh batch of 600 odd tickets up for grabs on the official site!
COYB
Albion have been handed an additional 675 tickets for the Sky Bet Championship clash at Bristol City.

The Baggies sold out their initial allocation of 2,317 in just five days.

The extra tickets will take Albion's allocation at Ashton Gate to just shy of 3,000 for the 3pm kick-off on Saturday, February 22.

Home season-ticket holders can purchase tickets online, in person or by calling 0121 227 2227. Any remaining tickets will be available to members from Friday, February 14, before going on general sale on Tuesday, February 18.

Still trying to get one, if anyone is aware of any going.
Looks like one block (36) had not been released but Albion so no more?
Thanks

Going on the reading farce, they will wait until its too late and then release the final block, yes I am still annoyed.

Being reported as sold out https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2020/february/extra-bristol-city-tickets-sold-out/
I suspect what is appearing as the unopened block is an IT glitch

Only the central lower tiers blocks 37, 38 and 39 were released.

But the wing lower tier blocks were not released

Coming by road.

Do NOT USE M4/M32 route and don't try to negotiate the roads and streets of Bristol
YOU WILL GET LOST
Use M4/M5 junction and come off at junction 18 Avonmouth and follow A4 signs to Bristol Airport

Parking is normally in the streets around the area as long as you are there by 1pm please don't block drive ways or park on corners.
If you are coming by train there is a local train service to PARSON STREET from Bristol Temple Meads

Good train times as most trains from the North as well as the London direction arrive at quarter past the hour and quarter to the hour
it takes you two thirds of the way to the ground and walk the rest of the way
You will pass Sainsburys on the left with restaurant,Robins pub again on your left hand side
When you approach the ground I suggest you walk past wickes using the pavement
as the concourse area behind the big new stand gets very congested with bodies
Any less you want to look at the John Atyeo statue

Please make sure you get your train ticket showing PARSON STREET
We are trying to promote PARSON STREET for football fans till Ashton gate halt comes on line.
Split train tickets are available to Bristol(parson street)
For those who are travelling by train,not sure if any one knows any one who works at Cross country trains.
Maybe cross country could stop one of the trains at Parson Street en route to Bristol and on towards Birmingham

If there are at least three of you arriving by train get a taxi
Make sure the taxi driver drops you in the Ashton Road end as it a very long walk round from the other end

Casualty and Holby City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes because I think their both rubbish
The young ones was also filmed in the BS7 area of the City(actually its Bishopston)
Finally the block of flats on the left behind the dolman stand side as you are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools and horses"
Bring your camera and turn up early if you want to take any photo's
Pubs possibly best one are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house and the cottage.
Buy your match day programme before you enter the away end.

Radio commentary be on BBC radio Bristol on DAB

We now have two big screens at the Gate,
so if you have bad eyesight sit on the far left hand side as you look at the pitch.
The match is NOT shown while the game is in play but replays are normally shown from both sides but no controversial incidents.

Pubs: best ones are along the Cumberland Roads area,suggest park your car and then walk to the ground.
Please circulate to any other football forums and footy fans you may deem fit.

I just think there has to be a week where we get beat and the rest of the results go against us, just to bring us down to earth and tighten the bum cheeks, wouldn't be Albion otherwise.
2-1
That's just the pessimist in me though, we are more than capable of winning this one, so hope i'm very wrong.

Losing a fourteen point gap until our recent upturn tightened my bum cheeks quite enough for one season thank you very much. I really don't need any bringing down to earth as I'm already fairly grounded. Into these please Albion. COYB

Thanks for the info.

We're going for the weekend and stopping in Long Ashton.

Whats that area like? Is there any nice pubs around?

Albionic · « **Reply #46 on:** February 18, 2020, 01:26:43 PM »

I think these will pretty gung ho, they are at home & on a good run, this will play into our hands as our attacking players will revel in the space, we are also the better team.

BCFC 2 - WBAFC 5

Someone is due a spanking from us, 1-4.

Woa!

They're just outside the play-off places & 3 points from Fulham in third, IMO it's not going to be a walkover by any means.
On paper, we should be too good for them, but it's the business end of the season, I think we'll just shade it, but I'm not confident.

As long as we turn up from the off this season. They will pose a threat no doubt about it.
If we show the same tenacity we've shown in our most recent always then I think we'll bring back all 3 points.
