Any City fans going by train to Leeds will be leaving a lot earlier than the jesters going to Oxford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I picture both sets of fans enjoying tea, coffee and croissants, politely chatting about each others fortunes so far this season and parting on good terms, wishing each other good luck for the games ahead. No? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I think there has been trouble before with them and Oxford? All a bit weird, can't be the same genteel Oxford that we see in Inspector Morse episodes? Having said that, they have several murders every week in that program. More dangerous than that Midsomer village place, who would want to live there? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is their high profile fixture for crowd disorder, not sure why, but it has been problematic in and around Oxford centre on many match days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubs etc after wins in the city centre (considering the ground is nowhere near) got pretty lively, saw some trouble with opposition fans too. They’re a much bigger club than people give them credit for I think. Certainly not a friendly/sleepy club full of posh tories that people may expect given the area and what the city is known for etc. Edited October 3, 2023 by petehinton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackofromSanJavier Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Not sure how this got through my Feckov filter on Yahoo mail, but I might as well put in for it. First bullet point tells me that I must "Monitor the crowd throughout the ground for signs of distress or overcrowding". I might be a tad busy with the distressed ones……….but, overcrowding? That sounds like the cushy part of the job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Was literally trouble with us and Oxford back in Aug on Ashton Road after the game. Few Oxford got a slap.

Worked on Blackbird Leys for a couple of months and it was rough. IIRC there was just one road in and out and the locals had a habit of blocking it so the Bill couldn`t get in when stuff kicked off.
