So where do Swindon traditionally go to drink in O*ford before the match? When I used to go in the "old days" I either travelled to the Manor on coach from the CG or via the buses taking Town fans straight from O*ford railway station (ie with Police escort).....

I did used to live in O*ford too, and managed to catch an away game (FA cup at Kassam) but had a few crafty pints in town that day and didn't see much of a ST presence in the centre....

Just dont wear colours and drink in the centre

Yep, have to say I used to keep my head down in town!

Why! I worked in Oxford for three years and wore my prominent STFC tie everyday. Only once did someone comment on it and that was a guy who asked what the badge was. When I told him he scratched his head, picked up his thesis and minced off down the road. I don't think he was a football fan.

I was talking to my mate about this the other day. Will there be buses running from Oxford train station to the Kassam ??

I think we plan to drink in the City centre and keep our heads down. Living in north Oxon, the train is the best way for us.

Not sure what your line of work was, but had you been a medic specialising in consanguinity making visits to Blackbird Leys, I somehow doubt you'd have escaped comment

Guarantee you these will not be played on a saturday

Sunday 12 or 1 o clock kick off I should imagine.

It'll be on a Bank Holiday (so the police can claim lots of overtime!!)

I think it's safe to assume that both games will be shitty early kick offs.

This is one of 6 to 10 away games, I would gladly walk (& swim) from Hamburg to go to

Have tickets gone on sale yet?

sold out

Probably having a good laugh that a grown man was wearing a football team tie. Do you still have your name printed on the back of your replica shirt too?

Allocation confirmed as 2345 - the Scottish bloke in the ticket office says we have sold 2600 as of lunchtime

I heard its pay at the fence.

We're going on a wreckie of their pubs during the summer.

You're going to smash them up?

Why would we wanna do that?

Well that's what "wreckie" suggested.

I'm assuming you must've meant recce.

I don't think I want you to come on our pube crawl.

Damn. I was pining for an invite.

You aint gettin a Babycham off me

Ground is about 5 miles away from the town centre!

designated drivers, taxis, busses, donkeys, camels...

run

What jabs do I need before visiting Poxford?

None at all, the chances are you will prick yourself on discarded needles everywhere you go.

I thought you weren't attending games whilst PdC is in charge?

Dorset is going to attend away games.

Just not away cup games.

It'll be a pisser for him if we end up in the playoff final....

So he would rather pay into Oxford's coffers than our own.

Makes perfect sense.

In the past the police have insisted the Priory pub near the ground be turned over to away fans (Lincoln springs to mind). Won't happen this year though as the landlord is an avid Ox fan and would rather close.

This isn't particularly informative, but just wanted to show DV Canio that I still enjoy corresponding with my new chums.

That's fine, we'll save our drinking for a victory toast back in Wiltshire.

Don't care. So there.

Yeah you do. You've got a hard on for STFC, its why you visit so much.

Alright, I do then.

you've got a flesh light wrapped in an stfc scarf haven't you you freaky scamp?

are they any good those things? spices up a tug?

aint got one, but i imagine so.  someone on here has i think...

Oh dear god, I thought it was a typo and I didn't understand it. I'm not glad I just googled fleshlight. I've lead a sheltered life.
