Under 23’s team.

[Craig]

Are we going to compete in a league, or just arrange games to suit? And where will home games be played? Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but saw the article online regarding trials and couldn’t recall if those details had been announced.

Presume (without knowing for certain) u23 home games will be played at court place farm (same as ou ladies)?

That would have been my guess, too. It’s a well used pitch at the moment - City 1st team, City Ladies, Oxford United Women, as well as our academy training there in the evening. There’s probably more I am unaware of.

I would certainly pop down occasionally if it’s CPF.

Unrelated, but wonder if Darryl still has that deal in place that entitles him to 50% of food and drink profits at CPF?

Regarding the U23 leagues, KR isn't a fan. Prefers to set up friendlies with teams to get a good mix of games.

 

[Craig]

That’s interesting. I wonder how much flexibility there is regarding planning and other teams willing to do the same. Karl obviously knows better than I do, so I’m interested to see how it develops.

Or our new training ground?

Will the U23 team be able to enter the Checkatrade Trophy? It's for the good of the game innit

Hope this goes well for him, he did a great job with the youth a few years back.

Really pleased we are doing this again - here's to another Josh Ruffels

This seems like very much the route we’re taking listening to what dan Harris had to say

Some very impressive stats there. It would be great to get even vaguely close to those numbers.

 

[Marked Ox]

Really pleased with this based on the work he did with the Youth team.

I wonder if the U23s will have to wear black boots only?

I think that is the model too. Good read that👍

As a side note, could the OUFC Twitter feed not find better photos of Chris Allen? Both yesterday's and today's look like "My God what have I done!!"

Not sure if it’s the same one but the official site has used these two bad boys in the last week. Poor guy, he must have said something to upset Chris Williams!

He sounds very positive about the change in terms of the above article. I didn't watch the video though so that may present a different view.

Lets hope not.

God I hope your right, producing a player capable of filling in whenever the team needs has been awful for us.
