The stadium
The club moved to the stadium in 1996 and two years later bought the ground from the then owners Bristol Rugby Club. Although the Memorial Stadium has seen some changes since the Football Club took up residence, it still has the feel of a rugby ground about it.
Millers fans are housed on the uncovered Uplands terrace which is open to the elements on the side of the ground, but cover is also available in the 'tent' behind the South stand goal which is a seated area.
How to get there;
Exit M5 at junction 16 (Signposted Filton) and join the A38 (South) towards Bristol City Centre. The ground is about five miles down the A38, head of Gloucester Road turnign into Filton Avenue past the Wellington Pub.
By train;
Filton Abbey Wood is 20 mins walk from the ground or the more likely Bristol Parkway is 2 miles away so a taxi is suggested.
