Home Match Build Up 24-10-2020 L1 OUFC v Swindon Town MATCH OFF

[OUFCGav]

Game is on. Perhaps local media should've waited for official confirmation. Bit embarrassing for them.

The local swindle media were given it by a club source presumably saying it with some authority - probably trying to influence the decision. Oxford media just reported it as "the word from Wiltshire is"...

Is it on or off ??

 

[OUFC94]

Game on!

Where have you seen this?

 

[Scotchegg]

On and off and on again!!!

 

[Northstandboy]

Radox just report "looks to be off"

Probably the same sorry they were running since 4pm.

 

[YellowShark]

But, nothing official.

Yep, complete fustercludge media-wise. I reckon we won't know for sure until about 5to3 tomorrow afternoon.

Add in some bad weather to this Covid malarkey and the pre match build up talk will purely be about if the game is going to be on.

Whisper is that the Scum are trying to get together enough players who are ok to put out a team. Can't see why they should do that myself. But right now lots of rumours but absolutely no information

Was think that we might get back into the stadiums for the playoff, at this rate might see a few league games as well. ( there’s always a +)

I suspect the Scummers will find several players with symptoms in the morning ??

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

I don’t understand the fuss. We’ve played them for decades and always faced the risk of catching something off them without all this drama

OM just reporting in fewer words what’s on this thread. It’s no more official than the Radio Wiltshire tweet sayings it’s off.

Who needs Di Canio to spark some fun when you have Covid?!

 

[Fourthstand]

Gutted if it is off. Been looking forward to this for so long.

My thinking too, don't think have to be the biggest cynic to see Wellens telling a few of them to break out in coughing fits etc.

Tbh, after Crewe then anything is possible.

The last 2 pages of this thread have been the forum equivalent of a 5-5 draw

As I have to work tomorrow I must be the only one hoping it is called off.

I think Tranmere had a problem a few weeks ago, and the EFL told them to play the fixture without players testing positive. I believe they lost the game too.

So let’s hope the game goes ahead, and we win 5-0.
