    This boozer is only a few minutes from the train station.

    That looks like a winner to me.
    Make mine a Heineken, we'll be in there from 11.
    Good luck with that - that place doesn't open until 12!
    I KNOW the landlord I'm telling ya.
    Is this him?

    No, its this bloke.

    getting the 11.20am train down bit later than i wanted but wasnt quick enough to book it up, so went for the cheap option. 4 of us and meeting others there, is there many pubs in oxford as can see the one mentioned getting quite busy?.

    There are some great old pubs in Oxford and lots of them. I particularly like The Turf Tavern (decent pub food and tucked down an alley by the Bridge of Sighs), The Eagle and Child, The Lamb and Flag and The White Horse.

    Most certainly an afternoon and evening of serious imbibing.

    Thanks, I'm meeting a friend after the game so that sheet will come in handy!

    Oxford here in peace...

    Posted this on another thread before I saw this one...
    Looking forward to the game. A few pointers for you which might help your day go smoothly. You can get a number 5 bus (they are usually bloody pink for some reason!) from the station to blackbird leys. Then it's a two minute walk to the ground. It takes around 25-30 mins and it will be busy with shoppers as well as football fans. You will share the North stand with Oxford who will have approx 2/3 of it. It's a cracking view of the pitch tbh. If you want a beer before the game go down George St, wetherspoons for breakfast and plenty of other bars along there. If you want a drink near the ground there is a bar and a frankie and bennies behind the open end car park. more than likely you will be kept in by the OB after so allow for that with your train times and the buses back to town will be rammed after as well. Hope this little lot helps, see you Saturday.
  • cheers for that Yellows.

    away fans being kept back, is that the norm then at your place?
  • @Yellows roughly how long are you kept back for was aiming for 18.02 train back any danger of missing it?.
  • It can depend mate. If there's a likely hood of any agg then they will keep you back. Scumdon were kept back for 3/4 hour but that was the "big" local derby effect. They let Millwall out same as us last season and there was all sorts going on. But Peterborough and Brighton were let out same as us and no problem. Other than that I can't really answer that one fully sorry bud.
  • To catch that 1800 train you need to be out of there pretty sharpish mate.
  • @Yellows no worries mate cheers, anyone know what the likelyhood of a penalty is if you get on a different time train?.

    Ticket Inspector with common sense=okay

    I would think it is unlikely any ticket check will take place on the train as there are ticket barriers on most stations on this route,also no seat reservations are given with tickets.
  • @Yellows no worries mate cheers, anyone know what the likelyhood of a penalty is if you get on a different time train?.

    Just tell the ticket inspector it was the old bill that made you late, normally works

    Criminal record for life, losing your job, being abandoned by your family, being forced to work the streets servicing Keith Vaz, nothing serious
  • usually would have been on better timed trains but was more of later decision still maneged to get the 11.20 up and 18.02 back for £9.90.

    Well that's alright then, you can still pay the fine and you'll have had cheap travel...........................................
  • Get yourself on a carriage with loads of Charlton. I think ticket inspectors tend to avoid carriages with loads of Football supporters.
