I'm based in Leeds now and was wondering if their were any Oxford fans around Yorkshire that go to away games? - I've recently been dragging non OUFC mates along to games and I can't handle their moaning any more...

Cheers
I'm in York and get to games when I can - very occasionally these days as there are so few fixtures in reasonable reach: Div4 has become ridiculously heavily biased towards the south-east, as was the Conference for much of the time the Us were there. This season alone we've lost fixtures at Stockport, Lincoln, Bury and Chesterfield, and all the promoted/relegated clubs are south of the Thames: Crawley, Wimbledon, and all four down from Div3.I'm based in Leeds now and was wondering if their were any Oxford fans around Yorkshire that go to away games?
Hull - best Uni in the World."captainox" wrote:Hooray Northern People!
I'm currently at University in Hull but reside at my home in York when it's not semester time.
Been to Rotherham, Macclesfield and Sheffield United this season (written reports for rageonline of the macc and SU games)
Planning to go to Burton on 28th January and also Bradford.
I am also on the OU exiles website along with my dad.
Yorkie - wonder if we've ever had any contact before as I have spoken to a couple of OUFC fans in York briefly in the past.
Feel free to email me using the option on here.
Good work Dan - I went on a second date as a poor student to this game. The lady in question picked me up from Nottingham University, drove me to Crewe and sat for 90 minutes waiting for the game to start (there were no advance tickets and the stand was full by 2pm). She then sat patiently for a further two hours with no idea what was going on (despite the fact that I had explained the offside rule to her using the time honoured tradition of salt and pepper pots as props) whilst I went absolutely mental."YF Dan" wrote:Hull - best Uni in the World."captainox" wrote:Hooray Northern People!

When I lived on Brooklyn St ('95-'97), there was a car about 10 doors up which had an "I follow Oxford United" sticker on the back.
I left a note on the windscreen about a week before a (1-0 defeat) at Barnsley, saying I'd share petrol costs if he/she wanted to go. Never got a reply.
I went to a load of games up North back then. Always seemed to end in a 1-0 defeat, apart from one obvious exception:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCtOIEhLov8
She went to the game and sat through the full 90 minutes listening to it on Radio Wrexham whilst the rest of us stood for 90 minutes. At the end she stuggled to understand why there was a pitch invasion based on a result in Blackpool."SWA" wrote:Did she go to the game MR Rambler or wait in the car?
Not any more, we have an 11 month old. She has however, had the pleasure of visiting the London Road at The Manor where she didn't realise that everyone surged forward when we scored until it was too late, I was elsewhere in a melee - got told off for that one."Isaac" wrote:I hope the 1st and 3rd dates were crackers Radley... does your wife still come to games?I currently live near Glasgow - are there any other scottish based Ox fans anyone knows of? The lack of northern games (even then it's a 2-3hour trip - I went to Morecambe) is a disappointment this year. I sneakily arrange trips "to see the family" around home games - this weekend being a case in point.
The best season for coverage was when setanta were covering the conference, all the pubs up here had setanta so it was easy to catch the games. Although I was the only Oxford fan in the pub.
That's the most romantic thing I've ever read on here: I think I'm going to cry!"Radley Rambler" wrote:

The result - 2-1 to the yellows and currently 12 years of marriage!
