If you don’t feed him till then then he will only be a medium bully.

You should see the size of him now, XL will be a big reduction.

 

[Richmansoccer]

In a way it's no bad thing. Means we get home in time to order a curry to be delivered to celebrate my birthday. Hurrah!

As it’s not 3:00pm start will it be on IFollow even though it’s FAC game??

No.

Bus from outside the local to Nuneaton, train Nuneaton to Cov.

They aren`t breaking into my car.

I wonder how many Oxford fans will get to the CBS Arena by train.

Given all the talk about our new stadium and given how easy it is to get to Cov by train, this would be a great opportunity to give it a go.

The only downside is that you have to change at Coventry station to get on a small train on a local branch line that has an infrequent service. Being on the mainline at Oxford Parkway will be much better.

I know I’ve never experienced a problem, but agree that it did feel like a small line/service into the ground.

Huge amount of parking available at the CBS too, which would not be that case at our new ground, so I guess that is tempting.

Yep. Expect a two carriage train. It'll be packed.

Hi all - Train is not a good idea, as it is once an hour - I think goes around 5 to the hour from the Ground, so depends on stoppage time, you may have a good wait - plenty of buses and taxes and wont be a big crowd - probably 10-12k
We have picked up significantly lately as our new signings have bedded in, but I assume we will make wholesale changes for the cup tie to give some a rest, and a game to some who have not featured lately (and maybe a goodbye to some of our older players)
We typically dont do well in this competition under Mark Robins, as he uses it to rest some of his overused players, so depending on how up for it you are - a win for Oxford would not be a massive surprise, -
Enjoy the day and the rest of the season

 

[NewFan]

No.

Maybe an obvious question but does this mean there's no way to watch it from home?

there will be streams as it is selected for overseas broadcast - hence the early kick off

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Does anyone know how many tickets we have sold?

Just bought mine now and ticket office said just over 2500

If the ticket office are correct that is pretty impressive and should be looking at close to 3,000 in total.

Really? I’m amazed at that just after Christmas and with low crowds in rounds 1&2 but hope you’re correct.

Maybe the 2500 is our allocation

 

[Foley]

Maybe the 2500 is our allocation

I thought that the club had said that the initial allocation was 3,000?
