REMEMBRANCE

Saturday's match will mark Oxford's official Remembrance fixture. There will be a moment of silence and a short service ahead of the game to remember the fallen.

Both clubs will be represented in the service. Swans supporter and Veteran Sergeant Rachel McDonald - who served 11 years in the RAF - will join chairman Andy Coleman in representing the club by laying a wreath.

SEAT ALLOCATION

Visiting supporters are situated in the North Stand. This stand runs along the side of the pitch and does not have any standing areas. 

TRAVELLING BY CAR

The stadium is well signposted on major roads into Oxford, and supporters should use the postcode OX4 4XP when using a sat nav.

The club has a large number of unreserved spaces at the ground with matchday parking available free of charge and on a first come, first served basis. 

Oxford recommend that travelling away fans use car parks B1 or B2. There is some overflow parking available past the Vue Cinema.

Note that after most matches there is a security gate in place behind the North Stand, which prevents direct access from the away end to the East car parks.

There are restrictions on street parking around the stadium, and supporters are asked to pay attention to residents only schemes. It's important to note that parking restrictions apply to both the roads and the grass verges near the ground.

Oxford's visitors' guide also advises the following: "Arrive as early as possible to get a parking space – there is only one road into the site, so the queues can become lengthy as kick-off approaches. 

"We share the car park with other facilities on the complex, including a cinema and bowling alley, and there can be a wait to exit the car park after the match. Be very careful with road parking and do not park on the grass verges – you will be very likely to get a parking ticket."

TRAIN TRAVEL

The nearest train station to the Kassam Stadium is Oxford, but this is five miles from the ground.

The 3A bus runs every half-hour from bus stop E1 (near Westgate Shopping Centre) to Grenoble Road.

Both the City5 and Stagecoach1 bus services run every five minutes to Sandy Lane West from Oxford Station. 

The journey takes around 40 minutes and then it is a 15-minute walk to the stadium (see City 5/Stagecoach 1 Timetable).

SUPPORTER COACHES

Return coach travel is no longer available to purchase. Coaches will be leaving at 7am and are charged at £35 per person. Supporters under the age of 16 will be refused access.

Supporters travelling on coaches are reminded that they are representing the football club, and should behave in a manner which reflects the club's values. We have a zero tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour.

NEARBY PUBS

Home and away fans are usually welcome at the following pubs: The George in Littlemore (OX4 4PU), the Golden Ball in Littlemore (OX4 4LQ) and the King’s Arms in Sandford-on-Thames (OX4 4YB).

Some fans also choose to visit the Ozone complex, which shares a car park with the stadium and hosts a Frankie & Benny's, Hollywood Bowl, Gravitee Golf (Refuelling Bar welcomes fans) and the Vue Cinema, which serves drinks and snacks.

There are also outlets near the ground and in the concourses. Please note these are cashless.
