It’s been a while, but the pub where I work, the White Horse, is the ‘away supporters’ pub and we’ll be glad to see all our friends from Oxford again. We’re on the A40 West Wycombe Road going west from the town centre towards the ground (sat nav HP11 2LR -Jct 5 M40 then A40 into the town - just after a big BP garage at right)) Some car parking, more nearby - about a 25-minute walk to the ground, but plenty of taxis around. No admission charge, and ‘exotic dancers’ from around 12.30. (Usual £ in the pot if you watch, but you don’t have to!) Sorry, but we can’t let anyone in under 18 years old.

Apparently you were a legend. Old Alistair is still alive and still the landlord (and my boss), says he remembers you well. He told me to say that he still has the dirt on you, backed up with photograpohic evidence!

Ive got the same, and more on him too :D ...does he still have to collect his pension in person at the post office to prove he IS still alive?:cool:.... send him my best :)
 
Featured in Toughest pubs in Britain part 4, apparently. Can be found on You Tube. But that was back in 2009.
 
It will be worrying if we can’t beat a side with a morbidly obese 48 year old up front, you know you are going to struggle then.

They will be a basic huff and puff long ball side, but at least we should of prepared for that, so it won’t be a surprise.

They don’t sell out whoever they play, despite having a tiny ground, such is the lack of interest in the second biggest club in Buckinghamshire, so it’s only bitterness that stops them giving us the full allocation.

Don't underestimate Akinfenwa. He may be huge but he is still a decent footballer and will cause better defences than ours trouble

Ainsworth has input on how many away tickets are made available Ive heard (from a good source).... fact is WW have decided against offering OUFC fans firstly the full compliment of 2000 tickets in the away end....also the additional 350 away seats (in the main stand... to the right of the away end as you look towards the pitch) ...... if they (WWFC) are being petty about ticket allocation (AGAIN), and TVP equally ridiculous regarding making the Hour Glass home fans only .... (as @Wallop mentions above, for no particular reason!!!).... OUFC travelling supporters should, IMO consider boycotting WW's limited choice beer marquee at Adams Park, thus minimising any matchday income from the fixture for the bitter, twisted and petty nonentities .... after all, they could have put another 550 away tickets on sale, but, with pikey Ainsworth's input, chose not to.... it appears WW dont want or need additional income from Oxford fans ? ..... the sooner they drop back to where they belong (Non league) the better I say
 
A Wycombe supporting friend of mine tells me that the dreadful pub on the roundabout is home fans only tomorrow and we've got a marquee next to the ground. Sensible given all of the trouble that has occurred at that pub previously......not.

Question is will TVP be doing ID checks on the local window licking children who go in there and shout the odds from behind the 'safety' of uniformed stormtroopers? ... hope so , its best make sure they dont have too many sugar based drinks and then start thinking they are able to punch above their weight?:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Bad, bad, bad planning by whoever made that decision...... gobby underage locals outside the Hour Glass mouthing off at groups of Oxford's finest passing en route to the ground over the couple of hours before kick off , oh, well done, what a sensible idea.... NOT:confused:

perhaps the decision to make the Hour Glass home only, is for the ridiculous amount of over-policing on show tomorrow, and, by causing a confrontation hotspot TVP mounted division and armoured n tooled up stormtroopers get to use their' toys'?
 
Hour glass has been home only all season and not just for this game.
