Away Match Day Thread 08/05/2024: L1 Play-Off SF 2nd Leg - Peterborough vs OUFC

[Carpy]

Hope we win of course, but their outright arrogance about thinking they'll roll us over makes you want it even more

 

[RgYellows]

Has anyone else just mentally sacked off work yet and getting very close to actually sacking off work, just doesn't matter today.

Taped my mouse to a fan and setting off now

 

[Concretebob]

Things cost money you know! What do you want it for, free?

Well I'm not stealing it, that's for sure.

An Oxford or Peterborough fan?

Sacked it off when I woke up

Yeah, it's just got f*****g ridiculous now tbh.

Should qualify for compassionate leave in my opinion. Basically the same thing

What pubs in Peterborough prematch?

Try Charters, it's a barge on the river right near the ground. Big selection of ales and ciders, does food, has a massive beer garden. Usually friendly (except when we play Cambridge) with a good mix of home and away fans. Gets busy though.

Great weather for it, I'm tempted to go there now and drink away the nerves for the next 6 hours!

Have a safe trip.

I started really well, convinced myself that I wasn't tense as it was a free-hit since we'd already done better than I expected, and I attacked my work with some gusto.

I now realise this was all a perversely elaborate self-ruse.

What's the world record for the most dumps attempted in a single afternoon?

Don't tell everybody, it'll be rammed when I get there.

As someone who didn't get a ticket for the game tonight and doesn't have Sky (but who has a Now stick), are my options basically one of the following?

• Buy a Sky Sports day pass for £14.99
• Buy an audio match pass via the club for £2.50
• Get the FM radio out of the loft and listen to BBC Radio Oxford for free.

Is street parking okay in Stanground?

We parked near The Coalheavers Arms in December, but certain that will be chocka as we only just found a space then.

I usually get the "this live broadcast is unavailable online" message when I try to listen to games digitally, despite living in Oxfordshire.

Radox on DAB works in Oxfordshire for games as does Freeview TV channel 722, plus FM of course. It's only Radox online or BBC sounds (on smartphones and laptops) that doesn't get the commentary in my experience.

Depends where you are. Espn+ in USA, Bein sports in Oz. Fawanews everywhere.

The nerves are starting to take effect and it's going to be unbearably tense - I'm telling myself that the 1-0 suits us, as any bigger lead means Peterborough would probably come out with nothing to lose and more of an all or nothing mindset, in which scenario an early goal might then make our heads go as we become desperate to keep what we have rather than playing the game. Hopefully, with a 1-0 lead the start will be less frantic as Posh don't need to go all out and we can settle in to it.

And if we do get knocked out, at least we haven't blown a 4-0 lead...

 

[behindthegoal]

Suppose I'm nervy....but I'm just enjoying the ride.
Win draw or lose...up the'Us'

 

[Sarge]

I believe we're playing in yellow n blue tonight?
