Last time I looked it was part of Oxford."Yellow-Robbo" wrote:It still really pains me that we didn't build the stadium in the Centre of Oxford. It was very nearly voted to be built next to the Ice Rink, NEAR THE TRAIN STATION which made a lot more sense all round. Both home and away fans could get the train in, bus in, park and ride etc etc. Obviously there are other implications, but in my opinion (and many others) it really is infuriating where the stadium is - it's barely Oxford is it!
This public transport utopian world just does not exist. Shame but that's the way it is.
Are there decent bus / train services to Oxford from all surrounding areas where our supporters live, including late transport home after night games?
Park & ride - well, you need to drive anyway. Who wants to hang around & queue for buses before even starting your journey home proper? And then there's the extra cost.
And, could get pretty interesting at the train station with home and away supporters milling around together. Who would pay for the extra policing.
New stadiums are not built in town / city centres. That's the way it is, we've got to live with it and put up with a much restricted option of pre-match pubs & decent beer.
