    Away Match Build Up 18/05/2024: L1 Play-Off Final - Bolton vs Oxford

    I can't recall what side it was; we supporters hadn't seen it and their backline (I have a feeling it was Bury) were screaming at one another. They were the attacking side and the fact he'd left three players on the halfway line meant their old school backline were completely stumped as to how...

    Away Match Build Up 18/05/2024: L1 Play-Off Final - Bolton vs Oxford

    One of the areas that concerns me with a high press (I'm not sure we'd be that naive to employ it unless they've identified something) is that the pitch at Wembley is huge. In my view Bolton are technically superior so there is a strong likelihood if they are on it, we'll get picked off early...

    Transfer News Summer Transfer Preview

    I think the stark contrast of playing in a new division with very different shorter term ambitions will largely mean that we'd need to over invest in certain player contracts I suspect. Interestingly a lot of owners of promoted clubs from League One over the last 10 years have spoken as to how...

    Away Match Day Thread 08/05/2024: L1 Play-Off SF 2nd Leg - Peterborough vs OUFC

    A few people have mentioned it. Someone also suggested ESPN+ while using a VPN (US) - I couldn't get either to work my end so I didn't take any chances as I couldn't get to the first leg tie annoyingly. Instead I purchased a monthly subscription on NowTV for about £26. I watched the Bolton -...

    Exactly this. We need more neutral councillors. Better still, we need cautiously neutral ones, not predetermined ones.

    Home Match Day Thread 04/05/2024: L1 Play-Off SF 1st Leg - OUFC vs Peterborough

    I'm surprisingly relaxed. I think given that we aren't favourites to win the play-offs, I'm not expecting anything. ... Until five minutes before we kick off, inevitably my level-headedness will be completely out the window and I'll be absolutely soul destroyed if we don't win!

    Yes, although it's both timely and costly. They've come this far so my guess is the club would near certainly explore the option. The downside of course which they can't influence is the time it'll take to overturn a decision like that. We'd be looking at a certain ground share at least shorter...

    I'm fairly confident I know where it came from. It has all the hallmarks. I've sent @Bornyellow a DM pointing him in the right direction. It's a shitty move and if he wants to take it further, it's ultimately a matter for the Police.

    A few years back I spoke to Luke on the phone. He pitched me a business investment; it was some sort of health club/health cafe combo up north although he spent much of the initial phone call lambasting Becky Vardy's behaviour during their marriage. We never did discuss his cannabis empire...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    I'm not dispirited nor do I worry what they think. They are largely small-minded, bigoted and often-times deeply unpleasant. From a societal point of view it's a bit worrying how many people like this actually exist and how much they are pandered to. That being said given a lot of the...

    Current Player #23 Josh Murphy

    The recent press coverage tells you all that you need to know. I hope you/I am wrong, though I think the writing is on the wall. On the plus side, his wages ought to be able to attract a very good replacement (assuming we are in League One). The Championship is a different beast altogether.

    To be fair, all fixtures will still be available to watch (unless I have read incorrectly). A VPN will resolve that for you!

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    The message has got through to some. About a year ago I overheard one of the guys in my business discussing the proposed stadium with a client. I chimed in when both with some authority said that they were against the stadium due to football violence (they wouldn't take their kids nor could...

    General Club Finances 2023

    Would I not be right to suggest that we have been submitting abridged accounts for some years, taking a similar view of other clubs? I'm not defending it, I think it leaves much to interpretation yet it seems to be increasingly commonplace now. Barclays have leant the club some money which is...

    The thing which I'm surprised that 'FoSB' haven't identified yet is the significant amount of barbed wire behind the stand which can be seen at the bottom of the below visual. There's so much of the stuff, it almost dwarfs the car park and stand alone. I do hope the club address this before...

    General Fans Forum - Kassam Stadium - 7th March @ 6.30pm

    I have to say I was disappointed. In my view they can consider themselves fortunate not to have received more difficult questions (they didn’t get round to mine). A few takeaways; - Fundamentally they’re utterly convinced that the job they are doing is super. Any narrative that doesn’t fit...

    Good spot. I have no idea what they are expecting to do with that information, unless they plan on responding to any negativity by embracing their inner Karl Oyston and target specific supporters who dare question them? I remember the forum with Firoz Kassam years ago being bloody awful. In...
