Home Match Day Thread +++ 27/10/18 OUFC v Shrewsbury Town Matchday Thread +++

Genuinely excited for todays match.... leaving S.Somerset imminently for the trip 'home' , and to cheer on the U's

Up The Manor :):):)
 
Up front? That would be even worse than we have now ??

I can remember that we went through a spell of not being able to score and Shuker was put up front for a few games. He scored and scored in that period. Got us out of the problem we were in.
 
As we are playing in old gold can we play John Shuker up front.

I didn't know orange was also called Old Gold. If you want a left back playing centre forward then why not try Ruffels there. Could do worse!:D
 
We played in orange and orange & blue for years and years. Then we played in old gold for about 10-15 years only.


Just looked it up on Oxkits site. Yes it seems we played in orange prewar. We changed to old gold and navy around 1950 (the time I started to really follow the U's). We have never played in orange since. Technically you are right. Well done.

Still think the orange kit is a bloody rip off though.

It's not really though compared to a usual replica top produced on the thousands. A limited edition of 125 each with unique stitching at £75 each. You know some premier teams who have mega millions sell run of the mill replica tops for £80-£100?

I guess the other point means that the club didn't start when any of us alive now starting watching.... ie it's a 125 year anniversary. In the grand scheme of things the old gold was a short lived fad.
 
Without trawling through all the threads for today’s game, is there anywhere where I can see the timetable/itinerary of today’s events? I’m taking my 12 yr old son and my partners son along. They don’t come to many games but I’d really like them to see the old legends etc. It’ll be really nice for them to see the clubs heritage and, you never know, it might get them hooked for life
 
They are no mugs having beaten Barnsley last week. Praying the wheels dont come off and we can scrape a 2-2 although I think 1-2 more likely

On the oufc website.
Legends going round pitch at 2.30.
 
I don't know about y'all but supporting Oxford is the only time I've ever felt like I'm apart of a community and it's the only community I have want to be part of, If you know what I mean.

I hope there's a really good atmosphere there today, it is a party after all ??
 
A perfect occasion to start a good run of 5 games against teams all placed 16th or lower.

Cock up this run of fixtures and it’s just going to be so hard to prevent a season long relegation battle.

Get atleast 10 points and it might be just what we need on the back of 4 unbeaten going into this game.

One goal in it .. 2-1 Oxford.

COYY’s
 
Shrewsbury will not be allowed to P**s on our parade so I predict a 2-0 win for the Birthday Boys. All out attack and fast flowing football to please the punters is the order of the day.
