Ashton Gate Stadium - Added to Sporting Venues and Arenas in South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Ashton Gate home of the Bristol Bears.

Ashton Gate is a multi-use stadium in Ashton Gate, Bristol, England, and is the home of Bristol City football club and the Bristol Bears rugby union team. Located in the south-west of the city, just south of the River Avon, it currently has an all-seated capacity of 27,000

TOAL on Smyth Road next to Gores Marsh.
Avoid the Marsh as it is a Park and Bristol council forbid take off and land from parks within the city.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 05/03/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Thanks, useful information, note the police have been recently enforcing a large no fly zone around the stadium when concerts/events have been taking place with CUAS and GNSS/Radio jamming equipment warnings, so make sure you check Drone Assist and the details of their NOTAMS. I did speak to their drone unit about potentially flying nearby during a concert, but decided against due to difficulties securing a suitable TOAL location at short notice.

Hi @axelz, it looks as though you’re quite new here :wave:t2:

Why not nip over to the Introductions page, and say hello properly and tell us a bit about yourself. :+1:t2:

@axelz I tend to keep away during concerts, living about a mile for the stadium it can get a bit busy.
My main visits are via my Bears season ticket, no drone taken then.
You in Bristol, you comments about flying lead to living local?

Yes am local, only just joined this site yesterday.
