If you’re driving to the match on Saturday, parking is restricted around Blackbird Leys on matchdays. You’re best bet is to park at the Leisure Centre on Pegasus Road and you’ve got a 10 minute walk to the ground, you get 3 hours free parking.

Buses also stop on Pegasus Road, a bit further down and you’ve got a 5 min walk to the ground from there. It takes the best part of half an hour so a taxi might be a better option for about £12 from the City Centre to the ground.
 
Bit of a joke club, 3 stands? What’s that all about?

Wonder if SD will be with away fans?

Said he would be in the directors box to watch it with his friends and family iirc and not to block off 20 odd tickets when the allocation is shit anyway
 
whats the best way back to town after the match, for those of us stopping over? thinking of walking down to the catherine wheel and letting it die down then getting a taxi up?

Bus stop is not far from the ground, but can take a while so you won’t get back into town till at least 5.45.

In 2017 there was a terrible storm and strong winds.
The stand was blown in the strong westerly winds into Wiltshire.
Due to financial constraints it was decided that a fence would be erected, notably called the creosote stand to the locals.
What became apparent though was the confusion this created. The sewage works where the Awks migrate from on match days also had a fence built around it. Often confused as the 4th stand.
At 3:00pm it has been noted by the Oxford bicycle community, imported into the City from far away places to improve the cultural experience, that the Awks were trying to enter the turnstile in the sewage works.

All creates a rather strange match day experience.
One thing for certain though is the wanted posters around the area for conspiracy and treason.
5 new shillings dead or alive for a Salmon trouser wearing individual who has strong links to a property tycoon, Firoz Kassam who specialises in construction of triangular developments. Equally 6 new shillings dead or alive to an insurance tycoon who made his wealth from an insurance company called A-Plan. Since de-coded as I have “a plan” to take over a rather large football club in the NE of England.

Both are not welcome but still have links to the local area.

....... and there you have the modern and recent history by someone in the know ;)
