EFL Championship

CARDIFF CITY 1 (Salech 56)

OXFORD UNITED 1 (Brannagan 79)

Att 23,407 (3,095 away)

Entry £27

Programme £3.50

There really wasn’t a more appropriate game for Robyn and I. After the Peninsula Hop we’d broken the journey back to Oxford seeing family in Bristol, so hopping over the border to Cardiff for Robyn to tick off the Cardiff City Stadium and me to watch Oxford United just made sense!

FA Cup 3rd Round

EXETER CITY 3 (Mitchell 22 40 Harper 63)

OXFORD UNITED 1 (Phillips 13)

Goodrham sent off 81 (violent conduct)

Att 6,149 (640 away)

Entry (Lounge Hospitality/ 2 course meal) £55

Programme £1 (included in hospitality)

No matter who you support, if you’ve made it to the FA Cup 3rd round you look for a good draw don’t you? If you’re a Championship or Premier League club you look for a lower league club at home, and hopefully a straightforward route to the fourth round. If you’re from the leagues that have had to win games to get here, then you want a glamour, money-spinning tie. I’d argue that League 1 Exeter City versus Championship Oxford United added up to neither.. unless you were Robyn and I.

EFL League 1

CARLISLE UNITED 1 (McAlmont 71)

OXFORD UNITED 3 (Harris 39 47 Goodrham 67)

Att 7,827 (562 away)

Entry £23

Programme £2

I’d argue that the roots of my groundhopping lie with watching Oxford United away games, so Robyn wanting to visit Carlisle as part of completing her “92” felt like me visiting part of my past. Back in the day there were four of us who used to travel together, 3 of us sharing driving duties. There was Darrell, Russell and Michelle, who quickly became “Raz, Daz and Maz” in the eyes of my ex-wife who probably saw them as a neat way of removing me from the house.

EFL League 1

BARNSLEY 1 (Cole 69)

OXFORD UNITED 3 (Brannagan 8p Williams 53og Goodrham 87)

Att 11,753 (620 away)

Entry £23

Programme £4

Official car park £5

These Robyn revisits are proving to be interesting. It had been the best part of two decades since I’d visited Oakwell and back then I’d taken the Oxford United supporters’ coach straight in and out. This time out I hankered after finding more about the South Yorkshire town than just the football. And yes, I have been to Athersley Recreation!

FA Women’s Cup 4th Round

BRISTOL CITY 4 (Hayles 45 Hutton 48 Woolley 73 Syme 83)

OXFORD UNITED 0

Att 449

Entry £8

Teamsheet- Free

After seven years together and three years married, its a little surprising that Robyn and I’s teams Bristol City and Oxford United have only met once, again the women’s teams back in 2016 at Stoke Gifford Stadium. So when the two clubs were drawn again, this time in the FA Women’s Cup it was obvious we’d be making a beeline for the game! Continue reading →

Burton & District Sunday League Division Two

THE MOUNT 0

McIntosh sent off 80 (DOGSO)

TL DARBY 4 (Lynn 36p 80p Lord 51 Morris 87)

Att c20 at Gresley Old Hall, Church Gresley

Free Entry

With Robyn and I staying with GroundhopUK’s Chris Berezai in Long Eaton after the York City game, there was time to take in a Sunday League game before heading for home. There are advantages of having friends in the area, and since Newhall United secretary Dan Bishop picked this game for Chris, Robyn and I to watch I’ll wonder whether he picked this game because I’m a season ticket holder at Oxford United!

EFL Cup 2nd Round

QUEENS PARK RANGERS 2 (Dickie 26 Chair 40)

OXFORD UNITED 0

Att 8,154 (2,058 away)

Entry £10 (Away End) – As OUFC season ticket holder, £15 otherwise

Programme £2.50

I’d just about found my seat in the School End Lower when I heard “Laurence!” from behind. Now there aren’t too many blokes with my name so I turned round. It was one of the many volunteers I’ve met organising groundhops and he said with a laugh, “This isn’t your normal territory” and I could see his point. I am known for non league, this blog has, after all, documented visits to hundreds of non league grounds. But the bit you often don’t see is the League stuff, I am after all still a season ticket holder at Oxford United. Continue reading →
