Great win yesterday.
the 1st half we struggled and didn’t play that well but 2nd half we were brilliant. Dug in, battled, ball into the corner to see the game out, etc. Great for the fans to see the passion at the end. All of the players looked genuinely thrilled with the win. Really think we can get 6 points in the next two games and creep back into the playoffs again.
On a different subject, how brilliant was it to travel to NUFC and Ipswich which both have grounds in the town centre (virtually). Loads of pubs, eating places, parking was easy, etc. So many clubs have out the town stadiums now and the experience of going to those places is so different. These clubs probably don’t realise how good they have it. Although I love the club, The match day experience is just poor-especially since the priory has gone.
Ipswich’s ground reminded me of Pompey’s. Got to be honest though Ipswich is a right sh*t hole. We turned right coming out of Portman Road and ended up on a road parallel with the London Road and it was like being somewhere in the third world, bit like the immediate area around Kenilworth Road, Luton. The whole area around the ground just looked deprived and dated, makes you appreciate even more what a lovely part of the country Oxfordshire is.
