The club has opened up the East End as an overflow stand for Saturday's much-anticipated home clash with Newcastle United - with less than 500 tickets remaining on sale in all areas of the stadium.

A crowd in excess of 18,000 is already guaranteed with season card numbers, home pre-sales and a 2,000 away end sell out.

With less than 500 tickets remaining on sale in the three main home stands, the club has put on a limited number of seats in the Wedlock Stand.

Tickets can be purchased for that stand in person at Ashton Gate or via the ticket hotline number 0871 222 6666 ONLY. Only supporters on the club's database will be able to purchase tickets.

A club spokesman says: "A bumper crowd is anticipated and any supporters still without tickets who wish to attend should get in touch as soon as possible."

The match kicks off at 5.20pm due to TV broadcast.
