Home Match Build Up 1/1/2022 L1: OUFC v Cheltenham Town

[Eaststanding]

I hope you're right. If the game is moved to Tuesday it will mean I won't be able to attend and what could be a big crowd on Saturday will be a struggle like last night to get bums on seat.

How was last nights crowd of 7915 a struggle to get bums on seats?

I would of thought we would of got another 1000 if that was played on bank holiday Tuesday at 3pm.

Quite possibly, but a crowd of that size for an evening game is still hardly the sign of a struggle.

Nope, and factor in we could easily have had a few hundred who would have gone isolating as well.

Surely there will be an announcement today if the game is on or off some fans will be traveling a fair distance as not all Oxford fans live in Oxford and with it being nye some people might not have a drink if they have to drive tomorrow so I think abit of decency wouldn't go a miss just to let us know
If it is on I'm going 5-0 Taylor x2 Whyte Sykes kane

Shows the situation the world is in when we're looking for confirmation every game is on!

We owe them one after being awful at their place earlier in the season.

Jesus is it really 'cash only' for away fans paying at the gate. Surely we can do better than that!

And no change given either!

With Wigan and Plymouth not playing, 5-0 would see us go 3rd.

I remember back in the day when long queues were overwhelming the Beach Road turnstiles. Stewards would sometimes allow fans through that gate if they tossed their cash into an 'honesty bucket'.

I think that's wrong, pretty certain I saw Wimbledon fans pay by card when I walked round on Wednesday.

Just from the examples of all the planning and notice that needs to be addressed on a match day, this game goes ahead, if not, Cheltenham have acted very amateurish.

They always have been amateurish IMO

The cash only after midday on matchday may be down to the poor / unreliable wifi signal at the breeze block ? .....cash only isnt subjected to the strength, or lack of, wifi signal


That said those opting to pay on the day after midday would need to find a cash point to access cash in advance for turnstiles entry

Can’t have been in the Maxwell era, then.

We need ColinB dot counting update.
His prediction for Wimbledon was extremely close, and excellent bit of forecasting, especially with all the potential variances playing out.

The EFL removes the need for clubs to test players for Covid-19 on matchdays as Nottingham Forest v Barnsley becomes the latest to be called off.

Actually I think it was. An easy way for Maxwell to pay less VAT than he should. Many thought at the time that the club were under-declaring attendances in an attempt to pay less VAT. There were sometimes audable gasps from the crowd when the attendances were announced at the end of games.

Watford, away, FA Cup................if memory serves me right.
