Re: New owners (at last)
I hope the club doesn’t find itself subject to rent again, when (if) there is a stadium move. This is the big priority for me as well. Otherwise we'll have just moved to a nicer (and likely more expensive) rental property but will still have almost zero assets of our own. I'd like to see OxVox be m...

New owners (at last)
Announced today, some 558 days (apparently) since we were told that a change was coming.
Thoughts? Sounds like there's money, experience and capacity to move forward on the #StadiumSituation, but I guess it'll be a while until the owners' wider intentions become clear.

Re: Falling foul of Franchise
This has the feeling of being one season too many (quite a few around me today said it feels like The Last Days of Wilder). Yes, that thought was in my mind on Saturday night too. Just like with Wilder, KR is clearly a good manager and a decent human being, and I've no doubt he'll succeed in the fu...

Falling foul of Franchise
Well I wasn’t there today, Jerome (as I wouldn’t ever watch a game against football’s Pariah Club - see threads passim for further details), but in the interests of getting some discussions going here were the views of my elderly mum who did go! “ It was a truly dismal performance. I think that Robi...

Re: Tumbleweed
Well I've not gone anywhere else! Still check here most days, and don't check/post elsewhere. The Other Place has too much 'noise' and arguments, whereas the regulars on here have always been a bit more circumspect and articulate.
Happy to commit to posting on here more often if others will!

Re: Season predictions 2022/23
If I was guessing, I'd say that Forde was offered more money to drop two divisions and play for Wrecsam (they're paying silly money by all accounts) and was likely to start more games. If they were happy to throw in a fee as well, then it's hard to see a reason to turn it down. I guess the fee and t...

Season predictions 2022/23
So, with CamBran's contract extension giving rise to a wave of positivity across Oxfordshire, what are our predictions for the season? Given that the squad's still a bit thin and K-Rob always starts the season slowly anyway, I can see it being something of a grind but that we'll end up hauling ourse...

Re: Where are they now?
Due to a series of coincidences, I am in Belfast this weekend and ended up watching Linfield’s pre-season game against Newtown, with Joel Cooper featuring for the home side. Despite him clearly being Linfield’s main focal point for their attacks, I thought he was very poor. Missed a sitter, squander...
Re: Fixtures
I was wondering when, if ever, we've been scheduled to start the league season in July? As I understand it, it’s because Div 1 and Div 2 are starting the season early and finishing it late to allow a break for the World Cup, and the Football League don’t want Div 3 and Div 4 to start later than the...
Fixtures
All gone a bit quiet on here, hasn't it? In an attempt to inject some enthusiasm, what games are we looking forward to this season then? Despite being a cynical old fart, I love Fixture Release Day. If you'd told me a week ago that in seven days' time I'd be getting excited about planning a potentia...

Re: Blown it (probably)
That’s surely it now. A shame, but there was a sense of inevitability about it. Big rebuilding job to be done over the summer given how many of this squad will now surely be poached by bigger clubs. I just hope that this time, the rebuild starts from the defence and moves forwards rather than KR spe...

Re: Where are they now?
Former Oxford striker Craig Davies speaks on this podcast (34m 30s in) about THAT incident with Julian Alsop.
Re: Joey
Well I thought that was impressively handled yesterday. As Jerome said right at the end of Radio Oxford's coverage, the circumstances meant that it couldn't be described as a perfect day - but everything was handled perfectly. At times, I wondered whether it felt a bit quiet / muted, but then I real...
Re: Joey
Just awful news. People are quite rightly talking about the (reportedly) tragic circumstances of his death to remind others that there is help and support out there for them and that no-one should suffer in silence, and that's a really important message. But amidst all the tragedy, let's also rememb...

Re: Back online
Weirdly, it seems to have also deleted a few of my recent posts - unless I've upset the mods! Anyway, thanks for fixing. As always, if donations towards running costs are needed then make sure you say.
