Re: OxVox. Remember them?

OxVox need to go back to being a supporters representative group rather than the club financiers and stadium decorators they have been in recent years. Agreed. I think it's a good thing that the management have said they don't want OxVox to be fundraising for the club - that should leave OxVox free...

Re: Imaginative marketing ideas

Bizarre. Why would anyone pay £20 for that?

Re: The U's v Cheltenham Town

I didn't hear what Appleton had to say after the game but it's probably for the best. I didn't hear what he had to say either, but I know others were fuming at his comments about fans needing to be patient. The thing that made me cringe was his bit about "If anything, the boys were trying TOO ...

Best and worst of 2014; hopes for 2015

So, what were people's best and worst moments of watching OUFC in 2014, and what are our (realistic) hopes for 2015? My best : Watching us take West Brom to penalties in the Milk Cup. Sure, we lost - but the performance was superb given the Premiershi* opposition, and it was good to feel proud of th...

Re: It's all about the Boss, no trouble

Sounded to me a bit like Chris Wilder after a home game against Wimbledon Torquay, no? You might be right. I have tried to erase his little tantrum from my memory :lol: I still think it's one of the funniest things to have happened in my twenty years of watching Oxford. Throwing his toys out the pr...

Kernow - hope you got the Dukla Prague away kit you asked for. As for the rest of your post, well, it's cliched to be cynical at Christmas.

Re: Football League Show

Agreed. The BBC have done a really poor job with the FLS. And to not show it on Boxing Day or New Year's Day because of other scheduling priorities is barmy when you look and see that it's just being bumped for old repeats. The FLS has to be different from MotD because people watch it for different ...

Re: The ‘Price of Football’ Report

Interesting. Wonder who Nick Clegg 'supports', United or Wednesday. And Farage?... Has the PM ever been spotted at an Oxford or Witney game? The irony is, politicians are far better off to just say "sorry, I don't really follow football" than to feign an interest in a team and be exposed ...

Re: Fans forum

It costs a lot of money to run OUFC in League 2... and that is why sponsorship fees are high and why the club loses a lot of money. Yes, but if you're struggling to sell sponsorship, reduce your prices. You might not get £50k, but you might get £30k - either way, that's money in the bank and a reco...

Re: Is the club ...

I'm in full agreement with this. I have no doubt that having a good scouting network is one of the key elements to making the club sustainable going forward, particularly whilst we have so few other revenue generating options. Myles can you please tell us when you were last CEO of a professional fo...

Re: Is the club ...

Tom raises an interesting point about priorities. For me, much as I would want to see a better ground than what we have now, that's not the priority; promotion is, and I think getting promoted into Division 3 / League 1 / Whatever-The-Bloody-Hell-It's-Called-This-Week has been the #1 priority of eve...

Re: WEST BROM away

Well, yes and no, OUFC4ever. You're right that the Throstles were well worth their half-time lead (albeit through a shabby own-goal). I thought Sessignon tortured our back line, and we couldn't handle Brunt on the wing. Ideye also had a sublime shot which was worthy of a goal. And yes, we looked muc...

Re: Worst start to the league since...

Just on the safe standing issue, I'm delighted that the Lib Dems have made it a manifesto commitment. Whatever some of the posters on here may think about the party, they deserve credit for being the first mainstream party to actually take a stance on it. One can only hope that by doing so, it puts ...
