If we can grow enough to sell out the SCL in the good times, and even get 18k against Blackpool a few weeks ago, I don't see any inherent reason why Oxford can't do the same to be honest. A city was c. 200k living there without any big nearby clubs as competition. The reason they'd struggle upon pr...
I thought that Oxford now have pretty rich owners themselves - who can afford to build a new stadium for them!? Maybe, but they can't build it, replace almost their entire squad and double their average attendance in 3 months. If they do scrape past Bolton, then their attendance will likely rise ma...
Bolton definitely a better team than Oxford and won their last meeting 5-0. But it's only 1 game and an upset can easily happen. Obviously I hope not - seems alien enough to finish below them in the table let alone be in a lower division. It's win:win. They lose on TV on their big night out. Or The...
Annoying thing is that well run and managed clubs can cause a surprise but it is always a "surprise" and no one's ever interested in following that model (they just sort of fall over it by accident) look at the Hull idiots, seem to have started that route only to sack Liam rather than see...
You bastards have ruined me. I read the first question poll options as: I have a season ticket and travel to away games I have a season ticket I go to specific games I'm Ian Royal. Final answer, what would improve my matchgoing experience (other than winning): Dai Yongge's head on a pole outside the...
I really don't think Wing would cut it in the Championship these days. I think many of the younger players would step up though, while the higher skill and fitness level would see him struggle to be effective. As for Wing I do believe that with younger legs to work alongside him he could step up fo...

I am probably the only one here disappointed that NGW has bee released. I know he allegedlly had a falling out with Selles so him staying on was always very unlikely. I always thought NGW was lively when he played especially going forward. Can be dodgey at the back no question so could be moire sui...
You've got to be pretty biased to think that Ejaria didn't have a lot of talent. Some games he was another level. Fulham away where he scored a brace in a side which had no strikers for example. Ability can't have been his issue, application or mental health/fortitude is much more likely. He just p...
I'd imagine he's training with the u21s who are still in action in the play-offs. Undeniable ability on the ball, but a total enigma and I doubt he's under serious consideration. Having said that, Ruben may have seen something in him and might want to offer him something without the baggage of prev...
Seol, of course, was a record signing in his own right. Other record signings who come to mind... Matt Mills - ~£2m Adrian Mariappa - ~£3m Tiago Ilori - ~£3.75m Of whom, Mills was a mixed bag, Mariappa was a good player in a shambolic side, and Ilori was a huge disappointment. But tbh it doesn't fe...
