Kassam Stadium

Oxford moved from their old Manor Ground only in 2001, and look likely to leave in the next couple of years.

The stadium holds 12,500 supporters, in a distinct 3 stand arrangement. The end behind the goal hosting a scoreboard and car park - I assume that it was originally intended to hold a fourth stand in this area.

The stadium is built on the southern extremes of Oxford, not far from the A34. Like many similar out of town stadia, travelling in and out is an experience shared with home supporters given the limited transport choices. Many park of the grass verges around the stadium - though all that did had bright yellow presents waiting on their dashboards on their return.
