How many to Oxford?

I am in, along with my very occasional Shrimp-supporting mate who lives there. How many do folk think we will take?

Due to the costs these days I don't go to many league away games. It seems others are in the same boat as I think we have one of the lowest travelling support in the football league. :D

Maybe the club could have a go at running official coaches again? Used to go on these quite often back in the early Conference years.

PS. Got a few spare seats if anyone wants a lift. Staying over though, so the lift back would be Sunday afternoon. PM me ;)

200 would be a good turnout. Anyone know what the ground is like for an atmosphere? Does all the sound go out the open end?

Any decent pubs for away fans?

I'll be going, for the first time, and really looking forward to it!

That's what I was thinking. Hopefully a few will ignore our current form and see it as a good day (or weekend) out and a chance to grab our first 3 points of the season.

Weather forecast is 23'c and sunny BTW 8-)

It has been an expensive start to the season for many, so I doubt we will top 100. The guy from their ticket office nearly split his sides laughing when I said we were expecting about 500 to travel down.

Never the less there will be 2 from here going for another dose of punishment if Sammy only plays one up front.

Crisis?
