Home Match Day Thread 7/11/2021 FA Cup: OUFC v Bristol Rovers

[Essexyellows]

As someone who WENT TO THE MATCH and WAS IN THE BLACKBIRD after the game, there was no parade or walk past of Rovers fans at the Blackbird after the game. What was not clear was how they apparently ended up somewhere around Merlin Road.

Perhaps they were walked the long way round the ground once the oxford fans had exited and then walked via Merlin Road towards bus stops North of the Blackbird by Sandy Lane?

No need to shout........... although that would explain the dayglo wall across the Moorbank junction............ as photographed by attendees.

Wouldn’t be surprised, TVP sometimes likes to “set things up “

Really

 

[Eaststanding]

This TVP ranting is becoming quite tedious.

Down on numbers because of Cop26;
Climate march in town ( which incidentally brought the high to a standstill);
Fireworks in South park.
Potential large numbers visitors from Bristol, which will need monitoring both at the ground and coming back into town en route to the station at the same time as the march and fireworks;
History of incidents between idiots attaching themselves to both clubs.

Seems pretty reasonable grounds to move the game to ensure all events in the city over the weekend runs smoothly.
Or was it a deliberate decision to personally ruin your life
Mmm, can't decide!!

Don’t come on here with your sensible explanations….people on here watched Line of Duty you know, they know a conspiracy when they see one……

24 Salford fans have made the trip down. What was the lowest away support we ever had at the kassam in the dark days of the conference?

A few double figures I think with Stevenages 86 for a fairly short journey and a Saturday promotion battle being the one that stands out.

Histon once took a single fan to Wrexham if memory serves.

34 v 31 for the next round then?
