Conference Oxford City

[oufc1991]

87 goals conceded in 41 games.
...although they've a couple of tricky games to come. Not least Easter Monday where they have to travel to face GOD & co.......

I see what you did there getting a reference in for GOD with it being Easter I feel sorry for Ox City having to travel all that way to face GOD and his twelve disciples I trust the three wise men are apart of the management team

 

[GRB]

I wonder what kind of wage bill they were operating on?
I can imagine it would be totally dwarfed by the full time sides. No shame in going down.

They've got such a tiny fan base that it amazes me they got to National League level in the first place. National South is punching for them in my opinion.

Well, I hope City lodge a complaint for their opponents playing 13 players.

Jesus in goal presumably? He saves after all.

GOD as an unconventional winger too. He moves in mysterious ways.

I thought conventional wisdom on the subject stated 'Jesus Saves, but Aldridge puts in the rebound'.

Doesn't GOD consist of three players? Not sure where the Holy Spirit would play?

The immaculate hat trick?

 

[dickwalton1964]

On Oxford City, will the manager stay? Doesn't seem to have been able to buy a win in the second half of the season.

What's a standard home attendance for them?

 

[LeftSideLarry]

What's a standard home attendance for them?

Average of 966. I imagine half of them are Oxford United fans.

That's a lot more than last season - must be a lot of away fans too.

 

[holdsteady]

Last season they averaged 607 so they are up by 359, but a few big away crowds will account for a lot of that, think Southend bought over a thousand.

When you consider that, it makes sense National League is a struggle.

How much did they pay for them?

How much did they pay for them?

Dunno but under Ron Martin they wouldn’t have paid the tax due on them.

In the bar afterwards.

What are we saying City's core support is? 150/200?

I lived in Oxford for 39 years and met one fan and knew of two others, so you are probably not far off there.

They used to get about 300 before they got good. There's only really a little handful of lads who stand at one end and try to get chants going. They'd have had more this season though if most of their matches hadn't coincided with ours.

 

[holdsteady]

I think over the years I have met a lot more people have played for Oxford City than actual fans, they did drop down to quite a low level so I suppose that’s to be expected though.

More than us then.
