Bristol City fan here, I am taking a chance on the saturday midday plane departure from Bristol Airport to Newcastle airport arriving 1pm. Thinking of hiring a car to Middlesbrough,would prefer to share costs. I only need the trip one way as I will be going back home by train from Middlesbrough

no probs

as we(Bristol City) get less penalties than any other football team in Europe

Thank you

Firstly thank you for using Parson Street,we will get our step free access station,one day. Weather forecast is not good,if you don't want to watch the lunch time football Suggest using Weatherspons right by Bristol temple meads If your on your own,and wanna watch the football I would suggest using the Robins. After the game,you can make Parson Street as long as you don't hang about

Could I ask if one of the forum member would put the above info on the FMTTM, as I am still waiting for approval to post on FMTTM? Thank you
