Matchday information
Check ahead of time if the match you are attending is free or ticketed. Tickets are always available to purchase on the gate, but online tickets come with a reserved seat, so booking online is advised for our biggest matches to ensure you get a seat. Standing tickets are cheaper online.
THE WEST STAND
The place to be to feel the roar of the crowd, the West Stand is our "main" stand at OURFC. Sit behind the sub benches and above the players' tunnel, and feel connected to the game!
The Pavilion
Directly adjacent to the East Stand, the Pavilion is home to OURFC's Bar, serving ice-cold beer and cider on tap, wine, bottled beers, soft drinks, and bar snacks. The Bar is usually open from 6pm on matchdays.
the east stand
Usually less busy than the West Stand, the East Stand is the best place for big groups to sit together, and for families to sit away from the effing and jeffing of passionate students! Best for access to the Pavilion Bar.
The Drunken Ferret
Adjacent to the West Stand is the player-run Drunken Ferret, serving tinnies at unbelievable prices. The Ferret is named after OURFC's loyal ex-General Manager, beloved Tim "Fez" Stevens.
FAQS
Can I bring my dog?
Absolutely! So long as they are well-behaved and are cleaned up after, we love to have dogs at the club on matchdays.
I am coming with young kids. Where should we sit?
We recommend East Stand seating for families, as the West Stand can get quite rowdy with students, and the East Stand tends to be less busy.
When do gates open?
Gates usually open at 6pm on matchdays with 7:15pm kick off. In general, gates are open an hour before kickoff.
When does the bar open?
The Pavilion Bar opens at the same time as gates open - so usually 6pm for 7:15pm kickoff.
Can I park at the club?
Yes! Parking is £5, and we take cash or card including contactless. When the weather has been poor, we might limit parking so that you don't get stuck in the mud, so be sure to arrive with plenty of time! Turn off Iffley Road onto Jackdaw Lane, then take your first right and first right again into the club. On matchdays, the bottom gate can get quite busy, so make sure to arrive with plenty of time to spare if you are driving; stewards will direct you to where is best to park. Please do not park in the University Sports car park – that facility is reserved for users of the Sports Centre (and they get quite angry if we take all their spaces!).
Can I buy tickets on the gate?
Yes! We accept both cash and card, including contactless, and our stewards have change. For big matches, we do recommend buying tickets online, as online tickets come with a seat reservation, and tickets bought on the gate do not guarantee a seat.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
No. We rely on profits from our bar to keep the club running! If you are found bringing alcohol onsite, it will be confiscated and you will not get it back.
