There were a gang of Oxford 'lads' who tried to get into the Bootleggers who got off the same train as i did, me and two friends let them go past us coming out of the station, and they were turned away at the door of the pub, so we did not bother to try as we thought we would probably get the same s...

It does indeed come from Bicester. The story behind it is that during the 70's &amp 80's some Liverpool fans had the same banner which they took all over europe with them while supporting Liverpool. The person who had the banner made is a bit of a Liverpool fan and thought it a good idea to have...

Creighton for me now, as others have said Worley looks one for the future.
I like Creighton as he is what a centre half should be, tough no nonsense approach, BUT i do think Worley will become the better player.

Aim for play offs this season, if we manage to go up via this route then all well and good, if that is not achieved, aim for automatic promotion next season.
Consolidate for two seasons in league 1 before promotion push.
Simples!!!!

My memories of the game are how i was amazed at all the people, yes i had seen football on the TV but it wasn't the same, and that SWFC played in a blue version of the Arsenal kit.
The game and the goals i remember nothing.
I was 8 by the way, some might say I started late!!!!

Re:

That bit of news has ruined what should have been a satisfying and restful night’s sleep for me. There I was looking forward to a curry delivered to our door at ten thirty and watching the first MotD of the season but now I go and read that... The next thing you know the person who runs the finance...

When you say &quotthem&quot, are you talking about Virgin or the team?
I meant Virgin but you do have a point.

Re:

It's a stock kit, nothing to do with us. I think the club were offered a few Nike standards and this was the best they could come up with. Do you mean that the club are no longer able to decide what the kit should look like? They have to choose from a limited selection and be done with it? If this ...

Sorry I hate it, reminds me of the one we had in the 70's and we were rubbish then. yes, and we've been brilliant for the past decade and a bit wearing yellow...

Sorry I hate it, reminds me of the one we had in the 70's and we were rubbish then. For me this kit is not Oxford United, it may look nice but it won't be like watching Oxford united. Why do the club rely on replica shirt revenue anyway, if they were to get someone to run the club shop better with a...

New signing

Simon Heslop has signed on a 3 year deal, 23 yr old midfielder.
I can't quite make out where from so I assume he is a free agent?
