Thought it was Pritchard. Either way, absolutely insane goal-saving block.

You did, you did.
Now, I wonder how Potter got himself injured in that phase of play?

If you take the ratio of 8 male to 2 females that means 2 toilets were available for 360 male supporters and they were OUTSIDE the ground! that ground is not fit to host this level of football. God help them when Southend go there in April!
The facilities were unacceptable and as this is Oxford City’s first ever season at this level and their highest average home attendance in the past decade is less than 2/3rds of yesterday’s number they clearly need more support and guidance from the National League and Oxford Council to improve things.

I wonder if there’s usually more in place such as portaloos, and they weren’t expecting us to travel in as many numbers as we did, the same way other clubs have been caught out

Let's be honest, we didn't expect there would be 450 Bees fans there either.

Impressive turn out.

It was a good turn out but given it was a first time ground in relatively easy reach for many of us it wasn’t surprising given how well the team are doing. I anticipated at least 350 away support in my prediction league attendance figure.

It would be great if we could carry these numbers everywhere, instead of just first time grounds
