***Away Day Review: Oxford United 3 – 0 Rochdale (Oxfordshire Tour)***

I got the 07.52AM train to Manchester Victoria it got there for 8.11AM then i got the metrolink tram to Manchester Pic got to Manchester Pic for 8.30AM got a £2 Breakfast from Greggs which were great value for money and included a latte at 8.50AM i got the 9.07AM train to Birmingham which arrived at 10.36AM then i had to wait for the 11.07AM train to Oxford as the 10.33AM had already gone when i got there late, i saw the train person on the late 11.07AM train which got to Birmingham for 11.10AM then explained the suitation to the conductor guy who said it were okay for me to get that train i eventually got into Oxford for 12.30PM then waited for a Royal Car’s Taxi to Kassam Stadium which were i was waiting approx 10 Minutes

I got the Taxi at 12.45PM as it were parked in the car park up from the station and paid £12 this got me to The Kassam Stadium for 1.17PM then queued up to get a ticket for the match from their main ticket office then saw the players come off the coach and went to the Bowlplex what set me back £3.60 for a Red WKD before i went to The Priory were everybody were surprise, surprise there were a beer festival on and if i had stayed over night there were also a ska night on then had a beer sorted a lift home and went to the ground

For once i had made it abit before Kick Off which were a positive there were not much what can be said about the first half apart effort at goal were either stopped or just didn’t go in then the whistle went for half time were it were almost £4 for a beer in the ground and food prices made York City look cheap, i wouldn’t recommend the Kassam Stadium to any Away Fan’s

Then i were finishing my beer when Oxford scored their first goal in the 53rd Minute which ment i stuck to Tradional and missed a goal then just 10 Minutes later in the 63rd Minute King Keith made three subs which saw Shane Cansdell-Sherriff come on for Joe Rafferty, Joel Logan replace Jason Kennedy & Reece Gray return and replace Ashley Grimes then in the 76th Minute Oxford United sub James Constable scored to put Oxford 2-0 up i missed the sub as i were still finishing my drink but apparently he replaced Tony Capaldi in the 46th Minute i left in the 83rd Minutes so i also missed the 3rd Oxford United goal which were scored in injury time

We went to the priory pub were we were i got a Guinness before we head back to the car, we did one service stop in Birmingham around 6ish i got back to Rochdale for around 8.36PM it would of been 11PM if i had got the train home

Hope Everyone has enjoyed there will be 2 or 3 out of season matches which will feature (Burnley v Ipswich Town, Cefn Druids v Buckley Town & fingers crossed possibly Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa)
