Fun fact, The Corner House on the Corner of Hollow Way and Horspath Driftway is closer to the Kassam than Lathbury Road. If you were in The Corner House on a matchday there's absolutely no way you'd know a game was taking place as there's no impact at all to that area!

Of course, everyone regardless of location are entitled to their opinion on this matter.
It's likely residents north The Broadway in Kidlington will have no idea there's a game on at The Triangle as roads encompass The Triangle and its south of the roundabout providing a ready made buffer.
When I lived in Woodfarm up until 5 years ago I drank in the Corner House, sometimes before we played and quite often after. The traffic was no different whether we played or not, that junction by the ring road is a much busier area than Lathbury Road and our matches had zero impact on whether there were hold ups or not. North Oxford, Jericho, etc and like you say most of Kidlington won't even know there is a match on.
The area/footprint that a football match has even a minimal effect on is actually very small, take the Kassam, you would barely know anything is going on once you are out of the immediate area of the ground.
