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

Is that a whoosh or have you just misunderstood my post..
I said on another thread on Thursday that I’d be surprised if the game will be on then got roundly pilloried for having that view.
Well f*** me, the games been called off, so forgive me having a little dig at others expense, particularly the one poster who said they wondered when the first post about the game being called off would appear. 😀

You may not have noticed but many other people have posted on this thread. If you said something on another thread I'm hardly likely to be replying to your post specifically.
It was -11 at Benson Wednesday evening, since its only now getting above freezing, the game at The Kassam was always likely to be called off.

That is a disgrace to leave it that late, if they thought the pitch was close to being playable then extend but pathetic from the official to call it off after a second inspection. Feel for the Barnsley fans.

I wonder when making these decisions whether there is anything in the rules about referees taking into account travel time for fans. If not, which I reckon will be the case, then I guess the ref can't take it into account. If not in the rules it should be.

Well the Northampton fans didn't get the message, 3 coach loads of them in the Blackbull in Kidlington. I spoke to 1 of them weren't happy at all.

So the coach driver and coach company didn’t think to check either, it would have been called off an hour or two before they even left Northampton and not a single person knew, mmmm something just a little bit fishy about the story!
 
Seeing that the Exeter v Cambridge game’s on makes me think if we’d left it a bit later to do the pitch inspection we might have been able to play the game today.

Not a single one of them had Twitter, Email or Facebook to receive the announce from their club?

I find that very difficult to believe.

Are you saying I'm making it up...???
 
Quite a few coaches stop in Kidlington on route the kassam , from up north.
Sheffield Wednesday had a couple of coaches in the Red lion a couple of seasons ago...

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
