Not on Easter Monday............ Tuesday night.

MK Dons Home Date Changed

Oxford United’s Sky Bet League 1 home game against MK Dons has been moved from Easter Monday to the Tuesday evening.

www.oufc.co.uk

"MK Dons’ Good Friday game against Sheffield Wednesday was switched to the Saturday evening for SKY TV purposes and the clubs therefore agreed with the EFL to move the fixture at the Kassam Stadium which will now kick off at 7.45pm on Tuesday 19th April"

Oxford United’s Easter Monday clash with MK Dons pushed back more than 24 hours

OXFORD United’s home clash with MK Dons on Easter Monday has been pushed back more than 24 hours.

www.oxfordmail.co.uk

Not sure why but our game against Mk dons is no longer on Bank Holiday Monday and pushed to the following day with a 7.45pm kick off.

Maybe not a sell out for this one then.

Sky TV are showing Franchise V Wendies on Easter SATURDAY.... so instead of a Bank Holiday afternoon kick off for our home game, its now a 'schoolday' night game,

EFL have moved it

its easier to defend centrally than it is to deal with crosses into the box

Bristol Rovers in particular seemed to really struggle with some of our crosses. If the match had gone on just a couple more years I think we could have really tested their keeper.

They should use Geo location.

If OUFC are at home and you’re in an area within x miles from Oxford it should be £20 to stream.

If you live x miles away or it’s and away game then it’s £10.

But then the iFollow service really needs to improve if they were to charge customers more.

Based on that, if x is less than 150, iFollow should be paying me to watch.

It’d be interesting to get an update on the stadium situation.

I understand that an alternative site near Stratfield Brake is now being considered. Plans have been requested by Cherwell DC for the SB proposal and they are yet to be forthcoming by the football club.

I believe the new site is north of Stratfield Brake and is in the ownership of Oxford University, with no restrictions regarding third party leases etc.

Are the club just carrying out requisite due diligence on all possible sites, or is there something more pressing going on here?
