First game confirmed against Aldershot away on 21st July.

 

[Marked Ox]

Oooo, the Martin Foyle/James Henry derby.

 

[Chris on a Bike]

Oooo, the Martin Foyle/James Henry derby.

Or the Jim Smith/Gary Waddock derby.

 

[Shosho]

Think it’s been suggested we will be playing Ipswich too?

 

[MarkG]

Scott Davies manager too I believe.

 

[mickbrownsconscience]

Aagh.
It's Friendlies not Friendly's.
I despair.

NSB has done that to trigger a particular mod.

And, why is it that we find this information, not on the OUFC website but, from Aldershot Town's X feed?

Blimey. Can someone change the spelling of the title please. It's actually painful.

It’s the same if you listen to it rather than reading it.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

By that token we could be Oxford Yewnited, live in Grate Britten and be playing in Leeg Won next season!

Or the Jim Smith/Gary Waddock derby.

Is the Portsmouth game going to be known as Army v Navy?

Perhaps they're more excited about it than we are.

Could be a lot of truth in that!

It would have worked as well if I'd been paying attention today, instead of lazing about in the sun away from my phone.

Look forward to both of those as local to me

BOGDANOVIC OUT!!!

 

[Chippy]

Maybe we won’t confirm it until we have sorted the Indonesian tour out, so might pull out of the Aldershot game yet.

There is no Indonesia tour. They're off to Cadiz for a week at the start of July. No games planned

Just tapas and a bit of sightseeing?

 

[nick68]

Maybe waiting to announce once confirmed if it will be 1st team, u21s or a mix of both. We may get a better offer

 

[Discoland]

Re: an announcement - If its an "Oxford United XI" I can't imagine there'll be much fanfare from the club, there hasn't been for those games in the last couple of years.

 

[holdsteady]

When are the pre season games normally announced?

With our communications, a day or 2 before.

 

[Bath Yellow]

With regard to the friendly at Aldershot Town..
James Henry left at the end of the season along with the Manager John Coleman as they just avoided relegation, also Scot Davies is the new Manager.
My Daughter lives local and my Granddaughter is in their Academy.
Aldershot announced those matches nearly two weeks ago on their web.

Let's hope we don't think of it as

You missed a chance to be so ITK there

DONT MENTION THAT TOUR !!

You've got it the wrong way round. The fixture is guaranteed, they've just not announced it until we know which round of the Indonesia tour we'll be playing them in.
