You might as well ask where's our Radiohead, Supergrass or Foals, seeing as we're similar sized? I mean even then, Oxford is 100k less people than Derby so not even similar sized cities.

Don't forget Oxford's exceptionally high student population. It'll actually be much smaller than that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 To be fair Oxford have won more annual university boat races than Derby! In fact, only Cambridge have won more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Still obviously bitter about Captain Bob enforcing the sale of Dean Saunders to us. Surprises Lawro hasn't posted on the same thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHorseRam Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I live in Oxford and work with a lot of OUFC fans. To be fair they are a good lot and like us deserve better luck over the last few seasons. Robinson has played a poor hand very well this season. Oxford is slated to get a truly massive amount of new build housing all around it. The challenge for OU is to persuade inhabitants to support them rather than the FIFA box cover clubs at the top of the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oomarkwright Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Strict planning policies don't allow Oxford to grow, hence the satellite towns around Oxford which accommodate the cities growth; Abingdon, Kidlington, Witney, Bicester, even Didcot.

Duracell Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Maybe the signing of Hanson and Thorne mislead this fan into thinking we're their feeder club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we all know we are Watford and Burnley's feeder club ... and, oh yeah, Burton Albion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
