Tickets Saturday 28th Sept: Burnley (H) ticket threads

[MJB]

Bloody typical, the more success we have, the more people want to be dot counters.

Where were you lot in League One?

Back in the Conference days, you could dot count the lot on a Saturday morning before the kettle boiled.

The season we got promoted out of the conference, our last Saturday home league game of the season we had a crowd of 5712 where we beat Mansfield 2-0. Our last home league game that season before the play offs was a Tuesday night vs Wrexham with a crowd of 4745.

Was proud to be amongst it.

Was thinking as I was walking out today that despite the bad times, we’re getting on for twenty years since we were last relegated as a club.

Since 2010 we’ve taken our time, but we’ve generally had an upward trajectory. Exciting times in particular now - loving all the new faces and next generation of fans who are joining us. All very welcome to the OUFC family.

The defeat to Exeter in the conference play off semi final on penalties was probably the last really low moment we have had. Since then it has been a slow and steady build to where we are today.
This season for me feels like a life time away from those days.
Getting West Brom away in the league cup felt like a big day out, as did getting Middlesbrough away in the FA Cup yet here we are in the same league as them and even above Boro in the table!

Was pleased in 2010 to be playing teams of the calibre of Chesterfield, Shrewsbury and Gillingham again. Even that felt like progress.

Wouldn’t say the Patterson days were building towards anything, we were pretty awful with some players who were pretty much semi pro and we were completely skint. All changed with the appointment of Wilder, whatever you think of him that was the first step towards this, he halted the slide and turned it round in a short space of time.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Maybe.
I must admit that I don't see Burnley as a particularly bigger draw than Norwich ( probably less so despite their recent PL experience)

Burnley are definitely’off the telly’ and were PL last season with a well known manager

 

[oufc1991]

Yep this has a David vs Goliath kind of feel about it

In the yellow corner you have little Oxford who just got promoted from league one .. in the claret and blue corner you’ve got the big time Burnley who have just been relegated from the premier league

I for one can’t bloody wait

Was intrigued so had a look at the recent record, 9 out of the last 16 seasons in the prem, 3 promotions seasons out of the championship in that time and the rest in the championship and have been championship or above for 20 years. They also have a long history.

I think us older fans forget that to fans 30 and younger that’s how long they have understandably been following football for, they won’t remember the 90s or before.

It’s certainly a better or equal (fairly) recent record than the Sheffield clubs, Leeds, Sunderland etc.

Are you suggesting that younger fans will see Brighton as more of a Premier League club than Oldham? Madness!

They’ve never seen a left peg like Neil Pointon’s.

for those old enough to remember the most lethal Oxford United striking partnership of Aldridge and Hamilton,,,,,Jim Smith bought Billy Hamilton to Oxford from Burnley

The promotion to the premier league was actually the last time Oldham got promoted or even made the play offs in a division, given that they are now in the national league that premier league spell really set them up for further success.

They’ve never seen a left peg like Neil Pointon’s.

His left peg will be 60 in a couple of months (assuming he hasn’t lost it in some horrible industrial accident).

Younger fans also will never have opened a pack of stickers to reveal this Bobby Dazzler:

Was in the Osler Road seats that day. Only time I ever saw a game from there. Moody came on as a sub and smashed in a hat-trick.

I departed the London road for a rare trip to the beech road seats. I was recovering from shingles and in loads of pain. They eased it

Dangerous seats you had. I’m surprised mark angels elbows didn’t knock you out

I’m more surprised that Mark Angel managed to stop chasing skirt long enough to play a game of football.

If 5th Avenue had been a 24 hour venue he wouldn’t have. I think at least two of my mates have nieces or nephews that look a bit like him, he swept through a generation of Headington female population I will give him that.

When I think of Burnley then it is the Chrissy Allen goal in our first away win in February that season:

Kind of nuts what we got promoted without winning away before February

This thread is about TICKETS, recent posts more suit the build up thread, which will open tomorrow.

That win at Burnley started us on a magnificent run to automatic promotion, we were 12th in the table that night. The way we hunted Blackpool down for the second auto spot was amazing. Big Sam Allardyce was not a happy bunny at all.

Then open the build up thread earlier or stop whinging and micro managing us

I believe that when these two played together for the whole match we never lost.

See their fans claiming to have bought tickets in the home end

Me too - got free tickets with the soccer school and they were in the Osler Road. Never went on that side again. Until my stag do it was the only game of football my brother ever went to. He was so disinterested that he read his Dandy annual through the entirety of the second half (including Paul Moody's hat trick) without looking up once.
