Oxford Utd v Wycombe Wdrs This Saturday...

[Tenbury Yellow]

I was at Shrewsbury v Wycombe ten days ago with my son (free schools tickets). It was poor and physical. Will need to be strong and really up for the game. COYY.

Loved the last game I saw Wycombe lose 0-3.great atmosphere culminating in promotion.
Hopefully same again putting Wycombe in the mire

i'm not going now, the thought of Wycombe taking the NS has me quivering, then they'll destroy the East Stand,leaving the left side to sort it out

Back in the day they had a proper Firm....think they were called G-plan?

So the Oxford dictionary says:

Derby = A sports match between two rival teams from the same area
Rival = A person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.

Therefore according to the definitions of our venerable local institution - the Wycombe game is a derby. It's just not one we care about all that much (other than we want those three points so we can all relax...…)

That's the sanitised post-1992 version maybe...

Well according to Wiki:

Derby (/ˈdɑːrbi/ (listen) DAR-bee) is a city and unitary authority area in Derbyshire, England. It lies on the banks of the River Derwent in the south of Derbyshire, of which it was traditionally the county town.[nb 1] At the 2011 census, the population was 248,700. Derby gained city status in 1977.

Doesn't sound like Wycombe to me.

I don’t really understand why Wycombe isn’t a derby yet Reading is? Yet Wycombe is closer than Reading?

This guy ain’t oxford

M40 Derby ?

 

[AbbeyOx]

bless them. let them have their little derby

 

[Bacon]

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, you need something to spark a rivalry, and it just hasn't happened with Wycombe.

What sparked the Ox/Scum rivalry?

 

[Ox4Eva]

Technically it is the M40 derby, nothing wrong with that.

As stated main rivalry is with the Swine and Reading and always will be!

 

[chuckbert]

Coventry's about as close to the M40 as OUFC, so maybe they could be our M40 derby too?

Why does a version of this thread have to appear every time we play them?

It's an embarrassment.

It wouldn't surprise me if the game is regarded as a derby by the younger fans who have only really known Wycombe as a league club, but the older ones (me included) just don't see the game like that.
