Buses, those of you who attempt public transport to the home of Oxford United will no doubt be aware of the general dilemmas of bus choice and location. Since the Oxford Bus Company stopped running the 601 from the centre of town the writer and his loyal band have had to struggle with a range of options - none of which are entirely suitable. We are also now challenged by the local council playing musical chairs with the bus stops (sort of thing) .. bus stops are now scattered randomly around the City Centre. Thames Travel have now added the Kassam Stadium to their 106 route, buses arrive on a Saturday at 2 minutes to the hour - leaving the hardy traveller either an hour to kill or a 2 minute sprint, we can infer that this is not intended to be a football bus. Anyway we ended up getting the 5 to the game, I got the 1 back colleague 1 with a pass got a 5 back (and still moaned about it) and colleague 2 used his bike and car as he is still on sprog delivery alert - who cares? You, dear reader, do not - what of the game you say.
Bad tempered affair with 2 good goals for Oxford, followed by a late Stevenage goal (Yemi) and a nervy finish. Oxford struggled to get control in midfield but patience was rewarded, they need to work on keeping a clean sheet - the Stevenage goal came during a spell of Oxford jitters.
The Stevenage players followed the lead of their manager who spent a lot of time berating the ref and generally waving his arms about - in the photo you can see all 4 of the away dugout looking unhappy - they got what they deserved from the game.
