November 27, 20232 yr Author Advanced party arrived in the city of dreaming spires, dreaming of another Whites win. Grey and cold at the moment but improving. Bright day tomorrow but hopefully not too cold to threaten the match - I don't think it has undersoil heating. Can confirm The George is a good shout, a short walk through the Littlemore estate and through a little tunnel. Think you can stay on the car park if you are drinking in there.

November 27, 20232 yr We were waiting at the bus stop last season with all the masses when a fellow Wanderer flagged down a passing black cab. 4 of us jumped in with him and through a series of turns through that estate, we bypassed all the queuing traffic and were back in the city centre in no time. There's some great olde worlde pubs around the uni buildings.

Short stroll across the car park to hotel after the game 😊

Can't remember pub names, but there was one that specialised in whisky- shit loads of them lined up.

They were the reverse fixtures from the Xmas period, where we'd won 1-0 at Wigan (Chandler) in our first ever game there and then beat Oxford 1-0 the day after at Burnden (Chandler again) Yes, thanks for the correction. I was at all 4 of those games, very strange to go to games on consecutive days twice in one season, not sure I could be arsed now! I was getting it mixed up with the season after when we won 1-0 v Wigan at home, and again Chandler scored (a pen). We played them away Boxing Day 84 as well as 83, another 1-0 game (lost this time).

I was getting it mixed up with the season after when we won 1-0 v Wigan at home, and again Chandler scored (a pen). We played them away Boxing Day 84 as well as 83, another 1-0 game (lost this time). Both those Wigan away games were early kick offs, reasonably uncommon in those days. I think Wigan missed a pen in our 0-1 win. The 1-0 home win v Oxford was a great performance. Oxford were top of the league and would be champions by May. A great Burnden atmosphere that day. I think the last time we played games on consecutive days was in 93/4, a decade later. Two 0-0 draws at home to Sunderland and then away at Pompey. I was at both - the trip to Pompey the day got off to a tricky start with snow in Cheshire making the M6 very treacherous. Miraculously cleared and on we want. It was one of Gary Parkinson's few appearances for us that day at Fratton Park. Anyway - a proper tangent is that!
November 27, 20232 yr Saw the team coach on the M6 this afternoon. Pretty sure Nlundulu was still running up and down the aisle celebrating his goal. anyway. 2-0 to HMS Evatt Edited November 27, 20232 yr by Spider

I'm more than happy to let Evatt make the call as to who plays. He'll get some wrong but his record suggests he has half an idea of what's right Reminds me of the first time I saw Chris waddle play live. At Burnden park in a cup match 91-92 maybe when they had to wear our away kit. He looked 100% fucked by 55 minutes and I laughed at him , his lolloping style and how much his legs had gone. Then somebody hoofs a 60 yard ball down the left wing and he just put on the burners , trapped it, turned inside and put a shot over the bar from 20 yeards cos no-one else was up with him yet. As he was jogging back I swear he just winked at me with me mouth agape at the speed he just raced on to that pass. Like " I could do this all day son" .

November 28, 20232 yr If you can get to it try the old bookbinders in Jericho. Lovely pub. Shame the Eagle and Child is still shut I think.
November 28, 20232 yr Excited for tonight and hopes are up which means we probably lose, COYW keep the run going
November 28, 20232 yr And awaaaay......there's fuck all near the ground but the centre of Oxford is well worth a visit, then 3A (i think ) bus to the ground & hopefully another win......a draw wouldn't be the end of the world though.
November 28, 20232 yr L8 whites setting off at 11:43 with a pit stop in reading to dump bags etc. hopefully the buses back to the center don’t take too long tonight
