| Impressions Of The Ground | |
| Away fans are housed in the North Stand which runs along the pitch. A good atmosphere can be created inside the ground. The main noise from Oxford supporters comes from the Oxford Mall Stand (East). The South Stand has got 2 tier's and a row of executive boxes. The West Stand is yet to be built, which at the moment is used as a car park. | |
| Directions To The Ground | The ground is well signposted from the main routes of Oxford, with brown football signs pointing the way. The stadium can be found in between the Oxford Science Park & Blackbird Leys Estate. From the A243 ring road, take the A4074 towards Reading. After the roundabout with Sainsbury's on the left, take the left turning sign posted Cowley/Wallington/Oxford Science Park and you will eventually come to the ground on your right. |
| Pub Guide |
|
The best pub for away supporters is the Priory, which is right outside the ground. This is owned by Oxford United chairman Firoz Kassam. Another good place is Ozone, a new cinema and bowling complex opened next to the stadium. This sells alcohol and has a bar with Sky TV. |
