Mike Graham Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I am lucky in that I get two complimentary return 1st class tickets every weekend on Virgin trains (after 12 noon on a Friday); it really helps with London away days and weekends in Edinburgh. I do London at least once every week and the Virgin Trains staff are great and most helpful. Even the bloke who announces: "This is Wigaaan, we are now approaching Wigaaaaan, Wigaaaaaaaan is the next stop.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Graham Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Now I know who to come to when I want cheap tickets cheers pal! My favourite bloke on virgin is the singing rubbish collector He is a big PNE fan, he fell out with me when he saw I was a Rovers fan.He is a laugh though, he also has a squeaky toy and every time someone puts some trash in his bag he makes it go squeak squeak - it sounds a bit like Larry, whoops sorry Simon Grayson.

sambo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 600 tickets sold for this game, so 900 left. Reached open sale today so expect tickets to start shifting a bit more now. Hopefully we sell out, or at least get close. Oxford have done their bit, so let's do ours. A new ground and a chance for me to visit Oxford and have a few beers.

Mike Graham Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Any word on sales? 900 left before open sale sounds a bit of a poor do to me. Come on let's sell out and get behind the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on let's sell out and get behind the lads. Rovers just said on Facebook / twitter that there have been healthy sales this morning and only 500 remain.Hopefully these will sell before Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Graham Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Brilliant, that's more like it. It will be a cracking atmosphere even with only 3 sides. 9,000 home fans can make a right old racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howler Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This is my local game and looking forward to it, Make no mistake Oxford are bang on form and play good football with a lot pace and directness. I would not be surprised if they beat us. Appleton is doing a good job there, much to my surprise. Another thing, the ground is on the edge of Oxford in the roughest bit of the city, next to a cinema and bowling alley. Very few decent drinking options in the vicinity and certainly not the Oxford the media would portray (any Morse/Lewis fans will be diappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMonday Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Oxford's really gone down the pan since Inspector Morse died, though the Technical College has got a good reputation. Mind you, always preferred Cambridge in the boat race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the original david brent Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 'Manchester's lower teams' Never been so insulted! Likewise! We are 30 miles from Manchester. It wasn't so long ago this lot were one of London's non league teams ;-) I remember Accy Stanley replacing them 10 years ago. On a serious note I am looking forward to this. On the basis that it's a new ground for me and draws like this are what the fa cup is about. It's going to be a tricky game. Having watched them on TV against Swansea they are a good side. They play decent attacking football. Ironic really as under Appleton we played some of the worst football I've ever seen us play - the two games against Millwall in the fa cup quarter final spring to mind. On the other hand we are still 2 leagues above them, we have a several 'international' footballers, Rhodes has just started scoring again and the law of averages suggests we will produce a good performance under Lambert at some stage in his reign!
