Opened in 1993 the Court Place Farm Football Ground is quite an open one. On one side is the Main Stand. This covered all seated stand runs for just over half the length of the pitch. It contains four rows of seating and has windshields to either side. Opposite is a small covered terrace that is around the same size of the Main Stand in length, straddling the half way line. Unusually for a terrace it has windshields to either side, although it does have some supporting pillars. It has the team dugouts located in front of it, whereas normally you would expect them to be located in front of the Main Stand. There is a new seated stand erected in 2016/17 positioned towards the North West end of the ground on this side. It has four rows of seats, with 158 in total. The Marsh Lane End itself is dominated by the club house and Club offices which sit directly behind. It also features the entrance gates to the Club’s former nostalgic White House ground, where in 1950 a record attendance of 9,500 watched an FA Amateur Cup tie v Leytonstone. At the other end is a small covered terrace that runs for around half the length of the pitch and is situated directly behind the goal. Again there are a number of supporting pillars running across the front. The stadium is completed by a set of four modern floodlight pylons. In 2018 a new artificial 3G pitch was installed at the Court Place Farm Stadium.

Travel
Address: Marsh Lane, Marston, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX3 0NQ.
By Road: From the South: Leave the M40 at Junction 8 and take the A40 towards Oxford. Follow the A40 for seven miles and then leave and take the slip road signposted Marston and Hospital. At the top of the slip road turn left towards City Centre and Marston. You are now on Marsh Lane, the entrance to the stadium is just down on the left. There are two car parks on site that can be used by all supporters visiting Marsh Lane. The Main Car Park is located outside the Community Arena and the external 3G pitch. To reach this car park, turn left immediately when you turn into the site and follow the road until you reach the car park. If this car park is full, you can park in the car park that is located at the entrance to the site. Once you turn off the main road into the site, you will be able to see this directly in front of you.
By Rail: Oxford Railway Station is four miles away from the stadium, so it is really too far to walk. So best to jump in a taxi up to the ground.
Alternatively, you can catch the number 14A bus (which is hourly, daytime only) direct from the station from bus stop 4 to the ground (Stop: Marston, adjacent Horseman Close). Or, there is a more frequent bus service number 14 daytime and evening services from the station or the city centre to Cherwell Drive, which is a 10 minute walk from the ground. (Stop: Marston, adjacent Ewin Close). See the Stagecoach website for timetable information. You can also buy a ‘PlusBus’ ticket which allows an adult unlimited bus travel in Oxford for one day. This costs £4 per adult or £2 per child. Also, if you are catching the 14A after the game double check you are standing on the correct side of the road as it heads north before turning off.
Ground Facilities & Away Pubs
There is a large clubhouse inside the stadium. Otherwise there aren’t any other pubs within the vicinity of the ground. However, there are a variety of pubs near the station for those going by train.
