Atmosphere at football can never be predicted. I attended Oxford v Coventry, it was end to end stuff, so was a good atmosphere.
The actual stadium is generic with the quirk of no stand behind one of the goals.
I was 'seated' in the home end behind the goal unfortunately this was in the middle of the most voiciferous fans who sang throughout the match creating a great atmosphere but also persisted to stand all game meaning I also stood all game.
If going by train get bus number 1 blackbird ley. Then it’s 10 minute walk to ground.
On the way out you got to exit the ground to the left then walk all the way round the ground. Get the bus back to the station from Pegasus Road. You can get a daily pass for £4.60.
Away from the station there’s not many big eateries about. Food is sold by Dick Turpin around and inside the ground.
