Maybe it's because it's a posh university town where folk go to live for 3 or 4 years, get a fondness for the club and then move on to fancy jobs in that London?

Take it you haven't seen Blackbird Leys?

No, but it's been so long since I've been on a coach it might as well be. Not arsed anyway. I'm driving to and from the Toughsheet. 🤦‍♂️ 

Although I can see this plan changing and having to get a lift to pick my car up on Sunday. We'll see.

We did official club travel to Lincoln this season, purely cos it was boxing day and non of us wanted to drive that morning and trains were nonexistent. 

People were openly supping cans on that and no-one batted an eyelid. No one was getting absolutely smashed either though, which I assume you won't be with kids in tow. So, reckon you'll be alright for a few 👍

Coach tickets say "NO ALCOHOL PERMITTED ON BOARD".

What if you’ve supped it?

Did it on a coach down to coca cola cup in 95

We were well on our way to being pissed by the time we saw a sign for Watford Gap services and thinking we weren't far off Wembley

Said I won’t do a coach trip any further than Birmingham again

[Lostock Whites]

Don't know why it's just clocked in my head, but at Wembley these next few weeks it's:

Real Madrid Vs Dortmund

Bolton Vs Oxford

The whites against the yellows!

The weekend just gone it was Gateshead (white) v Solihull (yellow).

The weekend before that was Bromley (white) v Solihull (yellow).

it is, I said as soon as the qualified, they'll outnumber us on the day. A bloke I work with, live in Thame, which is pretty near to Oxford. This Saturday, he reckons there are 30 or so of them going from the local boozer, and none of them ever go to "normal" league and cup games

I live in Oxfordshire. That pretty much sums it up. Few take an interest outside of Oxford itself until something like this happens. Then they're all out of the woodwork in the surrounding market towns. 

It'll be a big old following but it won't be a very knowledgeable one. 

It's so easy to get to from here, direct train, no messing. Hardly a surprise if they outnumber us just as Reading did in 1995.

I think we'll be breaking the 30,000 barrier, which is respectable.

As Tomski pointed out below, we’re hoping it’s third time lucky for @whiteboy, who has taken up residence in Wembley for the month of May.

Just the one (well 2 transactions) but once. Mine was not on a credit card though so maybe different.

And both on penalties.

Only 2 years since they lost to Grimsby in the play off final, also went to E/T, though it was played at West Ham.

There will be kids that went to all 3 games, now scarred for life!
