How do people do that?
We have been in the same league as Sheffield Wednesday recently, beating them at Hillsborough, not just this season. With all due respect to Oxford City they have never been a football league club, have only one season in the national league where they came bottom and are very much a non league club. We have had 60 years in the the football league, 3 in the top flight and won a trophy, its just a weird thing to make a mistake about, I wouldn't get Cambridge United and City mixed up yet it happens fairly often (the name mix up not the tickets).

I can't lie that did raise a chuckle

 

[Sutton Yellow]

I'm really looking forward to the game at Hillsborough to play the Blades.

 

[Beech Road Bokelberg]

Do Wednesday still play their home games at the Little Chef?

 

[BS32]

4,000 tickets ?, think we would do very well to sell 2k

 

[Kernow Yellow]

Looks like it's confirmed for 3pm on 12th April anyway. Fixture changes were announced at the end of last week and this wasn't one of them.

Some of these clubs just see us as "little Oxford'

Away end is capped below 4000 after Newcastle cup game where there were issues. Not seen anything to say it has been lifted.
So probably an old template label on the box.

Should never have changed from Headington United.

It’s weird, be understandable if City were a higher profile league club but we are in the second tier and they are in the 6th, nobody goes around calling Nottingham Forest County and they are nearer in the pyramid to each other.

Should never have changed from Headington United.

They have had 65 years to come to terms with it though, hopefully the new name will catch on in the second half of this century, till then will just have to look forward to playing the Wednesday.

I suppose Wednesday being in Sheff U's shadow for so long and lack of daylight, it must have had an adverse effect on their brain cells?

Pfft. Bunch of C U next Thursdays!

 

[Essexyellows]

£150k`s worth of tickets in that box.............................

Bit of a shame to publicly humiliate someone. A sign of the times I guess

Who was publicly humiliated?

 

[Basham Wonderland]

Weirdly, we get called Oxford City by moronic Sky commentators all the time.

As another poster has already said, I don't know how anyone with an interest in football could make the mistake. We all know the names of the 92.

 

[WokinghamYellow]

Who was publicly humiliated?

The sheff wed employee who posted the tickets to the wrong club.

They haven't been named have they?

They haven't been named have they?

How would you feel if you had made that mistake?

Not relevant. So they haven't been named? I think 'publically humiliated' is an over exaggeration, it wouldn't fall foul of our safeguarding measures.

As a professional it wouldn’t sit right with me to make fun of this, especially as it was easily rectified. But no one really thinks about consequences these days

I am all for protecting people, but no one has been named and Oxford city clearly did it as a bit of a joke tweet to promote their game at the weekend as part of non-league day. I don’t see much of a consequence other than a bit of embarrassment for Sheffield Wednesday - I think it was a lighthearted tweet which should be taken lightheartedly

As a professional, I can see it is a bit of lighthearted banter between two football clubs. Nobody has been singled out, and no accusations were levelled.

Although I respect your opinion.

To be fair to Wednesday, the tickets could've been sent direct from the printers.
