    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Thanks @Billyox (and others who've told us) - it's now corrected - see https://oxvox.org.uk/write-to-cdc/ But the sooner the better, gives councillors etc more time to read your input. Advice page is at https://oxvox.org.uk/writing-to-cdc/ - as noted by @SteMerritt in the sticky post at the...

    Away Match Day Thread 16/03/24 - L1: Port Vale v OUFC

    Unrelated, but I'm amused by Nathan Cooper's announcement at the end of half time that "the two teams are not very far away". I'd kind of hope that to be the case!

    Stuart Findlay is our new comms officer? Well, I suppose a change of career might be a good move.🙂

    Thanks Paul, as ever you've nailed it. It would be interesting to know whether Dale stepped forward or had been prearranged to do the media round. No matter, he spoke honestly and passionately, unlike the manager or any senior player, and he's only been here 5 minutes! I'm afraid I lapsed into...

    Away Match Day Thread 12/03/24 - L1: Bolton Wanderers v OUFC

    As regards your 2nd paragraph, it calls to mind the training ground tour back in 2019, when analyst at the time Dan Bond showed the level of planning for each opponent, down to individual video reminders for each player about their role and likely opposition player they would line up against. I...

    Yes, thank you Owen Dale for putting into words what the manager didn't, and for showing a bit of passion.

    A clean sheet? Oh, I didn't realise that was allowed in the latest EFL rules.

    Me too, and Pompey's current form isn't great.

    Given we are supposed to have had 17 shots in that match, I'm left wondering what defines a shot these days! Excellent report as ever, Paul. I think some of the passing along the back line happens because there's often not much movement (or many bodies) in central midfield to receive the ball...

    Transfer Window January 2024 Transfer Window Thread

    Yes, I haven't seen much of them but Ross Barkley must be one of the best free transfer deals ever. Powerful, tall, skilful.

    Noted, Sarge, and will be raised at our next safety advisory group meeting. That new stand does look like a very shallow rake and low roof, though its closeness to the pitch is a plus.

    Away Match Day Thread 01/01/24: L1 - Charlton Athletic v OUFC

    I agree with that. A very professional showing, the first few minutes excepted, and good management of limited playing resources by DB. Smyth looks big, strong, mobile, and aware and his best settled position may be defensive midfield, as others have commented.

    Fan's View Fan's View 23/24 - No.24: Burton at home

    Interesting - I often can't hear the PA, but I also heard 'Mark Hughes' announced on Saturday! I agree about one footed players - it's comical at times watching players who avoid even a short pass with their 'wrong' foot and need to trundle into position to lay the ball off. I'll add my thanks...

    Ref Watch Oxford united v Burton Albion L1 16/12/2023 Martin Woods

    Again, nothing to do with our game - and I thought Saturday's ref was much better than most - but I hope against hope that VAR in its present form is binned before it reaches our level. Brentford / Villa last night had two virtually identical challenges, both yellow carded (correctly, in my...

    Sorry Colin, but I think that's really unfair. Paul didn't say he doesn't read the forum, simply that he didn't read it much any more. It was a plea for fans to contact us directly with questions etc, as many do. You're misrepresenting what he wrote. But more to the point, there are several of...

    OUSP News

    I didn't read it as a dig @Scotchegg. I just thought it was worth clarifying. Like you, I think both groups do sterling work. The primary focus of OUSP on matchday aspects, and that of OxVox with a remit on wider issues, with joint work on, for example, some stuff around the new stadium, is...

    Home Match Build Up 04/11/2023 FAC: OUFC v Maidenhead United

    Indeed. I haven't discussed this particular issue with PaulS of OUSP but there's a healthy ongoing debate from OxVox and OUSP on matters like this, whereby disabled folk get short shrift. The club tries but in some areas the limitations of the 30 year old stadium design prevent significant...

    Just to pick up on the wheelchair seats issue @Manorlounger . I know a bit about this as my wife is disabled & uses a mobility scooter & we sit at the front of SSL. The front row of disabled seats are greyed out on the online plan, I guess to prevent non disabled folk inadvertently booking...
