T20 Blast in Bristol - Gloucestershire Cricket
Posted on: 27 May 2016Twenty20 is unarguably the most exciting incarnation of cricket. Heading to the Brightside Ground after work with mates for a beer or taking the family is undeniably a great way to spend a summer’s evening in Bristol.
Playing under the lights always ramps up the excitement and the change in weather conditions as the sun goes down adds another tactical element to the game. It’s great fun for groups of friends and families alike; the ticket options reflect this. Not only are 18 and unders admitted for just £3 but there are even more discounts on a variety of family tickets ranging from 1 adult and 2 children up to 2 adults and 4 children. Tickets for all games, including tourist and international matches, please visit the ticketing site.

The Brightside Ground had undergone major redevelopment in the past few years and is now an impressive cathedral of cricket that not only hosts Gloucestershire games but also England internationals. A huge coup for Bristol and the South West. The Bristol Pavilion offers state of the art media and hospitality facilities and enjoys superb views of the ground from behind the bowlers arm. All this just a two minute stroll from the famous Gloucester Road.
After a heartbreaking 1 run loss to Sussex thanks to bad weather and the still baffling-to-most Duckworth/Lewis method, Gloucs will be looking to get back on track against Glamorgan on Friday 10 June and continue through the four fixtures after that.
All games begin at 6:30pm. Here are the T20 Blast fixtures taking place at the Brightside Ground just off Gloucester Road in Bristol (formerly known as the County Ground)...
v Glamorgan – Friday 10 June
v Somerset – Friday 17 June
v Surrey – Wednesday 6 July
v Kent – Friday 8 July
v Middlesex – Friday 29 July

Michael Klinger, a native of Melbourne, Australia, will lead his men onto the field as Gloucs seek to translate their 50 over form of 2015 – which saw them lift the Royal London One Day Cup – into the shorter version of the game.
Not only are 18 and unders admitted for just £3 but there are even more discounts on a variety of family tickets ranging from 1 adult and 2 children up to 2 adults and 4 children. For tickets for all games, including tourist and international matches, please visit the ticketing site.
