@semuelman @KP24 Not to me I’m afraid!

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@ScottyPufc @KP24 No, because if I was I would also not use question marks when asking a question

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OUFCSLO @OxfordBusCo Just as a heads up- two pretty full buses from Abingdon on their way to the ground! Thanks for sorting- hopefully over time we can get a slightly earlier departure but appreciate all your help sorting this!

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OxfordBusCo @OUFCSLO 30 fans just got left at the Oxford Road bus stop in Abingdon. Bus driver didn’t stop, no explanation other than bus looked full. Left everyone absolutely scrambling, including kids. Atrocious and this cannot be allowed to happen again. This was one stop too

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OUFCSLO @OxfordBusCo That’s brilliant news- thanks for sorting! Looking forward to a few pre-match drinks and not having to worry about parking now. Fingers crossed for the game

@OUFC98 @swissyellow @sgodfrey Is it me, or is this just a bid weird 🤷‍♀️ personally I wouldn’t have been impressed if we were signing him- he was magic 10 years ago but let’s focus on the future

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OUFCSLO @OxfordBusCo And again purely based on my experience they were typically full last year even when attendances dipped. But I can’t risk the bus not stopping at one of the last pick ups every week

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OUFCSLO @OxfordBusCo Thank you! Anecdotally I had heard MK had similar issues- not a surprise based on my experience. I get to cut the buses if they are not used or attendances drop but with how late they leave for the ground it leaves little time to sort out a back up. I’d much rather bus then drive

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OUFCSLO @OxfordBusCo any responses on this? I’ll be chasing repayment for the taxi fare due to the ineptitude to provide a suitable bus service.

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

And it now turns out the bus was full when reaching Abingdon town centre. This needs sorting asap

WORST MISS YOU’LL EVER SEE

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@MalachiObrey @OUFCSLO Thanks- awful from the bus company!

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@OUFCOfficial Too bad 30 fans from Abingdon in the queue opposite the boundary house won’t be. Bus did not stop and drove on with no explanation. Happy to explain further if you wish to speak

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@MalachiObrey Who do we speak to about the buses? 30 fans left at a single bus stop, including children, in Abingdon as the bus was already full. Appalling

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@AdamCrafton_ And it was bloody glorious! #oufc

Home Ashes - Ticket £150 a day, hotel £100pn, 5 Tests, poss £400 trains = £6,650

Aus Ashes - Flights £2,000, tickets from £625 (£25 a day cheapest), six weeks hotel at £100pn £4,200 = £6,825

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@TheBarmyArmy Whoever it is who sets the ticket pricing and keeps getting away with it! Just seen some pricing for next years Ashes and it’s ridiculously expensive- hope you are able to engage and stop normal fans being priced out

[Chris Darley @ChrisDarley88]

@GeorgeElek @dickiedosh I would have been delighted had we brought him back this summer- thought he looked ok what was a poor side last year
