Oxford United vs. Barnsley in the FA Youth Cup tomorrow (7.30pm) if you fancy popping down to Oxford...
No, the match is in THAME, about 14 miles from Oxford. I am going along with a couple of others I believe. We might shock the locals I think, just being there I mean!
Wonder why they aren't playing it at Oxford's ground? We've played a few FA Youth Cup matches at Oakwell in recent years
They are playing on a ruby field i think. They'll not want to play on a pitch that allows barnsley to play there natural game.
Not quite true. Thame's rugby pitches are a few hundred yards along the road. I have never been inside Thame's football ground but, safe to say, it will be not up to the standard of our Academy setup and is likely to be freezing as well. Match may even be off.
By hek rugby field the surface will make the game a real leveller I would have thought if it was at oakwell the reds would have won easily mind you I have looked on Oxford website sad I know and the youth team won last 13 games
See my post above - NOT being played at Thame Rugby ground but at Thame United Football Club. Not much difference, mind you
