First of all - I wish you good luck in this tie. It should be a good game

Just a few travel tips etc

Train

Oxford Station. Number 5 bus leaves from straight outside the station. and takes 45 minutes. About £2 return. When you get off if its unclear just ask but you should be able to see the roof of the stadium and Im sure there will be others heading that way

Car

Masses of FREE parking. If you can find a space in the vacant 'West stand' area then follow the road to behind the OM or to the overflow. It shouldnt be a problem as i wouldnt expect more than 3000 fans to be there.

What to do before the game

Pubs - The priory is an excellent option and right next to the ground to the left of the leisure centre. Otherwise try centre of Oxford (there is parking in the centre but its about 4 quid an hour). number 5 bus goes via st aldates and picks up people there and also picks up at the high street.

At the ground - Bowling - if your not wearing a replica/anything that shows that your a Thurrock fan just say your an Oxford season ticket holder and you left them in the car and you can bowl for 2.50 a game. Theres pool tables and an arcade in there as well. Rubbish food - dont bother, though there is also a sports bar with sky.
The leisure centre also has a large Vue cinema, a large Franky and Bennys and an asian food place.

Hope this helps and hope you enjoy your day out!
