| Getting there |
By
Car: (approx 25 miles from HW)
The Kassam Stadium is situated in the Science Park towards the South East of the City. It is well signposted from the major routes but these are not necessarily the shortest routes. The simplest route from High Wycombe is to take the M40 West and then branch off on the A40 towards Oxford. At the Headington roundabout take the A4142 towards Cowley and then follow the football signposts. Alternatively you can go via Stadhampton and turn left when signposted as you approach the Cowley area. The ground has a huge car-park but it's about as quick to get away from after the game as Adams Park. If you decide to park in the neighbouring roads, look out for matchday parking restrictions. |

Train:
Nearest station Oxford but it's three miles from the ground on
the other side of Oxford city centre. Connections from Wycombe are bordering on
the ridiculous making private, supporters club or public coach transport the
better option. If you insist then the No.601 bus apparently runs from the station via the City to the Stadium. |

KNOW YOUR HISTORY
Wycombe first met the team now known as Oxford United in 1951. United, then
called Headington United, met The Wanderers in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the
FA Cup and despite Wycombe losing, it was The Wanderers who progressed to the
next round because United had fielded an eligible player.
However, United got their revenge the following season when they triumphed 6-2
in front of a record FA Cup crowd at The Manor Ground of 9,900. |
