Thame United chairman Jake Collinge said it was great to be “back home” after their ASM Meadow View Park stadium was officially opened this week with a friendly against Oxford United.

The Premier Division club had to play at Aylesbury and AFC Wallingford after they were evicted from their Windmill Stadium in July 2005.

On Tuesday, a crowd of 1, 382 turned up to see them lose 3-1 against a strong United side at the new £3.1m stadium.

Collinge, who has been chairman since November 2005, said: “I was bowled over by the size of the crowd. We anticipated 500, but to get nearly 1,400 was incredible.

“After four years of driving 35 miles for every home game it was nice to be able to walk there.

“To get Oxford United there was the icing on the cake.”

He added: “It just shows what can be done with hard work and dedication.”

Meanwhile, Thame aim to extend their unbeaten run to four matches when they host Pegasus Juniors.

They are without Adam Rhodes, Ben Connolly and Stuart Braun who are injured.

Kidlington are without Anaclet Odhiambo (ankle) at home to Shortwood United. Danny Mason, Danny Leggett and Chris Weedon return.

Relegation-haunted Witney United have boosted their survival hopes by re-signing Harry Burnley who is added for the trip to Ascot United.

Keeper Paul Tassell is a doubt, while Sean McKeon has a groin strain.

Abingdon Town welcome back Liam Barson following an ankle injury and Kieron Davis from suspension at home to Flackwell Heath.

New signing Rhys Denton, from Old Woodstock Town, is also included in the squad.

The top two in Division 1 West clash when Headington Amateurs host Lydney Town.

In Division 1 West, Clanfield skipper Dan Dixon is unavailable for the trip to Cricklade.

Ben Acock also misses out, but Alan Rodgers, Kevin Brooks and Karl Dickenson are added to the squad.
