Home Match Day Thread 20/01/2024 L1: OUFC vs Northampton Town - POSTPONED

[Carpy]

Probably the easiest game of a busy few weeks so would hope we end up walking away with the 3 points.

Fancy Harris to continue his goalscoring form, 2-0 to Oxford

EDIT: And it’s postponed

 

[Chippy]

Are you saying I'm making it up...???

No, just the fact they claim they didn’t know. They’d have to have all left their phones at home and not checked before leaving, and that’s about 150 of them if 3 coach loads. If they were all blokes then maybe they were just getting out of being dragged shopping in Northampton for the afternoon!

 

[Scrongo]

What time did they leave then? Game called of at 10am dam I’m sure we left Oxford at 12 when we played them. More fool them then

Yeah especially for a day out in Kidlington..

Alright cam down, yeah like I said, probably on a jolly for something to do especially if , they were private hire..

 

[werthersoriginal]

Thought I'd just pop my head in to see if my worst fears would be confirmed.

And yes they have been. Page after page of old men shouting at clouds

Who are you calling old?!

It does seem mad as it’s really not that cold in OX4, but people here imagining they know better than the ground staff are deluded

Probably , but the one I spoke to ,didn't blame the ref. It was like he was trying to blame Oxford United....

Nothing unusual there then.

 

[windmill]

What ??? Well they were here, so must be on a jolly then . Like many a Oxford fan has done when a match has been postponed...

Board up the windows in Brackley. That's the usual stop over. The rozzers might have their work cut out.

Or Banbury...

 

[bazzer9461]

Like many of our own fans.

Anybody thinks it’s the clubs fault and not the ref need to wake up, but maybe they’re blaming the club for not trying harder but it’s not like we have undersoil heating which would have made todays game possible

 

[Scrongo]

Mind you there are ,7 games on in league 1, 4 in league 2 ,& 4 in the conference..

 

[Scrongo]

Plus look at the names of some of those teams playing in the scottish cup..
They've had snow up there for most of the week.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Fascinating that we have an injury crisis, are worried about more injuries, our fans are particularly concerned about what this has meant for the transfer window….

But there’s a delicious clammer from some of the same posters to have our players exert themselves against a very physical team on a rock hard field.

Ridiculous.
It was said yesterday that thete wouid be a pitch inspection at 10 today.
At 10 today it was off.

At the end of the day, it’s just a load of cobblers.

 

[NorthWestOx]

If I lived in Northampton, I'd want a day out too.

 

[Concretebob]

I'm loving all the weather updates I can't lie

Also I never knew that being the further north you are means you are always colder... Not quite sure that's how weather works?

 

[Bicester Yellow]

Extend what?

Extend the time to give the pitch chance to thaw but you look an idiot when it gets to 1pm and it’s still not in a fit state for play. Disgusting for Barnsley fans. If that was us we would rightly be going mental, unacceptable

 

[NorthWestOx]

Half times coming in.

Portsmouth winning, but only playing Fleetwood.
Peterborough losing at home to Shrewsbury, but look to be better on stats.
Derby drawing at Lincoln, but shading it.
Bolton drawing at Orient.

Blackpool winning at BR, come on BR!
