My overall impression is that Oxford is a good place to watch football.With only four of the current 92 left to do, and none of them near West Yorkshire and with watching Leeds every week, its proving difficult to get over the finishing line.Why not write your own review of the Kassam Stadium Oxford United and have it included in the Guide? The ground seems a bit smaller than it actually is, which all adds to the atmosphere that even a relatively small crowd engendered; but as mentioned elsewhere the fact that the corners are open also adds to the atmosphere - cold wind, that is.Well, we came, we didn't play too well, but we did win; so the away fans were buzzing. This is a particularly impressive looking stand with police control and press boxes situated at the back. Tom Raffan a visiting Southend United fan advises; 'It's worth noting that the bus from the train station takes a very windy, indirect route so if intending to get the bus from the station then get there by 1.30pm at the latest (for a 3pm kick off).In October 2015 a new railway station serving Oxford was opened. I was a little concerned about the distance between us and the exits, but I guess in an emergency you would go on the pitch, it just meant a half time comfort break was not worth the effort.The stewarding was a little controversial at this match, many felt it was way to heavy handed. Well whenever that will be as it looks like we are going to get relegated to League 2.Living in the south of England and supporting the Blades means that I mainly get to see only away games, and with Oxford being only an hour away it was an ideal opportunity to take advantage of a re-arranged fixture.
Oxford scored within the first couple of minutes, then Luton scored twice within as many minutes just before half time. The journey, including transfers, takes approximately 1h 25m.The distance between Oxford and Emirates Stadium is 51 miles. Finally if people did not leave it to the last second to take their seats life would be much simpler for all of us. The stadium began life in 1938, on the site of an earlier flapping track which had closed in 1938, with the difference being that a new circuit had been re-laid in a ninety degree direction compared to the old one.
The pitch looked good also.It was a great "derby-like" atmosphere created by the Gas fans.
Kim Rockall informs me; 'There is a cinema and bowling alley complex located adjacent to the stadium, called Ozone. Before 9:00 am and after 6:00 pm the bus also connects with the Rail station. Second half wasn't great, but Oxford scored late on then missed a penalty soon after and it finished 1-0 to the home side. I was looking forward to this game, as both Oxford and Port Vale were pushing for promotion.It was a good day out, even though we lost 2-1. Then in injury time our goalkeeper; Lawrence Vigouroux also got himself sent off, so our right back went in goal for the remaining minute.The Swindon fans were held back for a while. If you do end up arriving late at the stadium and find that the stadium car parks are full, then don't get tempted to park on a grass verge as you may well end up with a parking ticket for your trouble. The game was a friendly match against In March 2006, the Oxford United Supporters' Trust unofficially renamed the ground "The United Stadium". So no complaints from me. The three sides that are there are nominally the same design although the Main (South) Stand is two tiered and has the offices, hospitality, changing rooms, shop etc. We stayed in control and added a third from a well taken free kick to seal off a very good day. Leicester fans had around a third of the North Stand, on one side of the stadium, which was ample enough for the turnout on the evening, Both of the other stands were reasonably full and appreciated the sight of Gary Lineker (fully clothed!) The programme was £3 but with 84 pages offered a good read. The South Stand on one side is by far the best, having two tiers and looks very impressive for a League Two team, and well filled. We were 7 points clear of York pre-match but I could only see them reducing it to 4 points by 5pm.I took the supporters coach so the journey was very easy. Sat next to a guy from Barnet so had a nice chat with him throughout game.
The stewards were okay if little jobs worthy!Getting to the ground beforehand after 5 hours on a coach was shambolic. As we live in North Wales, it was a 170 mile journey to Oxford via motorways M54, M6, M5, M42, M40 and then onto the A34. You are also able to park your car there for the duration of the game.
Getting away was easy as our coach was waiting for us outside the away end, and a Police escort away from the ground meant we were on our way out in a matter of moments, and another fantastic journey meant we were arriving back in Stevenage for just after 6.30pm.Overall this was a perfect Good Friday for us as we stopped the rot of losses and picked up a fantastic point away to a side challenging for automatic promotion, all the more impressive as this was only the second time we had not lost an away game since before Christmas.
We enjoyed a pre-match meal at the White House pub near Oxford City Centre washed down with several Wadworth ales (I was a passenger!).
Bolton Wanderers 1-1, Scunthorpe United 1-1, Bradford City 0-0, Sheffield United 0-0, etc. Though all three of the stands are good, they are all seated stands.
