Meaning a 9 week gap between fixtures at the home ground

I guess there is a reason why Oxford should play in Henley but while you are trying to build a following, continuity is important and 9 weeks between fixtures at home is not that

Still I suspect there is a good reason

I believe it is due to essential maintenance work on the pitch, which could only be done by creating a gap like that to give it enough time to bed down properly.

Sounds distinctly probable. Fond memories of hauling all over England, Wales and even France to watch Broncos "home" games for exactly the same reason. One of the many problems with ground sharing.

Real ale fans may be care to google The Henley Brew House and then take Mark up on his offer to sort a mini bus!

Only Broncos on the road home game I bothered with was at Bridgend. Long way for a home game

Are you going to Henley on Sunday to see ORL -v- York match ??
If yes i hope this help you to get down by car, bus or train.

By car :- Head out of Oxford At Heyford Hill roundabout take the 4th exit onto the A4074, At Berinsfield Roundabout take the 2nd exit onto the A4074, At Crowmarsh roundabout take the 2nd exit onto the A4130, At Nettlebed Roundabout take the 1st exit onto the A4130 (Heley), At mini-roundabout turn left onto the A4155 you will then see rugby club.

By Train :- Only one both ways
Oxford =1105 to Twyford =1155
Twyford = 1243 to Henley =1255

Henley = 1807 to Twyford = 1819
Twyfrod =1838 to Oxford = 1931

By bus you not going to do it as you can only get to Wallingford and the is taxis to Henley.

If there is anyone in the Aylesbury area who needs a lift, drop me a PM.

Oh dear. York were probably too good for our first 17, they were far too good for the 17 we fielded. Unfortunately we seem to have lost another member of the pack for a few weeks today. We seem to be running out of bodies fast.

I don't want to be harsh on the lads who played today. Many of the less experienced players put in good shifts and have no reason to beat themselves up. A combination of a good York team, with some impressive dual reg lads, too many errors and missed tackles saw York home with ease.

Thank goodness we have next week off, hopefully that will help a few of the injured list recover for Gateshead.

Incidentally if we ever return to Henley, a decent set up, the club need to look at stewarding the entry better. Sadly a few people are boasting on a non league football forum I know that they got in for free, I suspect via the car park. Sad but true.

Thanks for that, will definitely look at Stewards if we go back, would have to be volunteers to control costs.

It was a hard day all round yesterday! It certainly didn't take me long to get to sleep last night.

We're running out of forwards and at this rate I'll have to start bringing my boots at the end of the year! The lads who are left are all running their blood to water so a weeks r+r can't come soon enough.
