I was there in 1986-87. It was my lad's first away game. He was 7 years old and in the queue for the turnstile a plod insisted on checking the contents of his Superted lunch box even to the extent of sniffing the orange squash in his flask in case it contained "the demon brew" as he put it. Absolutely pathetic. It ended up a dire 0-0 draw in that shed of a ground (Manor Ground).
30 minutes for me by car, train might be possible (but longer), I hope there is little interest.Oxford is more interesting than the Chumps League draw - but still a ball ache to get to
Oh look, Tom_mcfc moaning about City fans, I'm sure I've spotted that before.Been drawn oxford and people are still moaning at who others have got, after a very favourable champions league draw too. Small time.

About time we had a real cup tie with lower league opposition. Really looking forward to this.
Any one know roughly what allocation we will get??
Thanks pal,and welcome.Alright lads, Oxford fan in peace.
You will probably only get about 12/1300 tickets. That’s the maximum we’ve ever given to away fans even when we played the Geordies at home in the fa Cup a couple of seasons ago. You’ll be on the right hand side of the North stand on the side of the pitch. Excellent view by the way. We’ve had talk of a temporary stand behind the goal before but it’s never happened so just watch this space on that one. It will defo sell out and tickets for the Home areas will only go to people on our data base before the draw was made. Plenty to eat and drink next to the ground but parking is limited although free. The streets near the ground are locals only and you’ll get clamped if you don’t have a permit thingy. Traffic is dire on the oxford ring road at that time of night too so public transport is your best bet. Welcome to oxford!
Blimey a Brian Clarke commentary brings back the Piccadilly Radio memories with him giving players pet names The big Irishman ( quinny) The little genius Walshie) He had one for Beagrie cannot remember it Horton was responsible for the some of the best football in a nightmare period so big Franny gets rid of him to get Alan Ball then Walsh for Creaney then Bradbury How did it all go wrong ffs
