@Treu_red 2025 Oxfordshire County Council elections the Tories won 10 out of 69 seats. 2024 Oxford City Council the Tories had 0 out of 48 seats. The only relevant thing about 2021 is that Wrexham were in their 13th season as a non League club.

@cbarson Yes Tories, you're bursting at the seams with them 😭

I see all the Tories from Oxford have something else to be fake-outraged about this morning. Irony is, they're using a dead girl's tribute to slate one of our players they dislike. Probably wouldn't care less if it wasn't Sam Smith. As disrespectful as not clapping 👍 #oufc

@SkyFootball Everybody apart from Sam Smith that is. The same Sam Smith that disrespected Joey Beauchamp's memory when he played against OUFC previously and had to make it all about him. RIP Amelia

Vicarage Road comes together to pay tribute to Amelia Aplin.

@Junior02334 Yes, they sold out a couple of weeks ago. I don't know how long they took to sell out?

@cbarson Assume Charlton have sold out ?

Anyone know how ticket sales are looking for Saturday? #OUFC

@rowanpowell4 If it goes down to the last day, it is what it is. Bring it on, this is why we support our club.

#oufc if it goes down to the last day, it could be fucking scary against millwall

@suburbanjericho @Junior02334 One adult, and six Under 7s in the Family Stand would be £31. It blows my mind that nobody in the club thought it worth doing this. Or do they just not care....................

@cbarson @Junior02334 I'd bought them if I knew we would've been that close. However, as I had my cleaners husband's 150 year birthday bunting to string together this wasn't a feasible idea. Like u what were they thinking about! Top result - 3 on the spin & our own spin doctors spun another un-want.

Disappointing to see loads of unsold seats for tonight’s game. Would have thought it would have been a sell out after the last two games. #oufc

@suburbanjericho @Junior02334 By far our highest number of home fans for a midweek game this season. Shame it was made to look worse than that by a lower away attendance than usual. Over 500 more home fans than the Norwich game. Can't believe the club didn't "buy" 7 tickets themselves to hit the 10,000 mark!

@cbarson @Junior02334 Unfortunately, for us a lower crowd = below 5 figures. Not a great look whichever way anyone can spin it. We surely should have many more walk ups locally especially with the position we are in. 3 on the spin should see some empty blue seats taken Saturday & more away fans......

@oxtweeter I notice it's now available on Kindle, something I've been waiting for, so just ordered it. 👍

As kids up and down the country dress as Gary Briggs for World Book Day, it seems a good time to say that The Glory Years paperback edition will be available in time for the 40th anniversary of the Milk Cup Final at the end of April. Pre-order here: amazon.co.uk/Glory-Years-Ox…

@paninaro1968 @OllieHolt22 It has to be ready Nick. Hope you're well mate?

@cbarson @OllieHolt22 Mate, there's no chance of our new ground being ready for the 28/29 season

The glory of the three-sided Kassam Stadium at night in the rain during Oxford United-Manchester United in the FA Youth Cup

@OllieHolt22 Big whoosh for me then! I suppose the problem, as Oxford United fans, is we've grown tired of all the jibes over the years, so we're a bit touchy when anyone mentions the stadium.

@cbarson I was being sarcastic, Colin. I dislike it, too

@SkySportsNews Banter football club, who are serial rule breakers, led by a lunatic.

Listen to Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway's astonishing rant as he brands the FA and the EFL as 'cowards' following what he describes as a 'disgusting' decision to ban his captain, Ollie Clarke. 🎙️ (Source: BBC Radio Wiltshire)

@Junior02334 @OUFCSLO I've just had a look. Less than 50 in NS and ES. Less than 100 in SSU and 200 in SSL, which are nearly all in the two end blocks. That's not what I would call plenty. It will be a Sell Out or very close.

@cbarson @OUFCSLO From the amount left today. Plenty in the south stand

Club should push the massive game on Saturday first imo rather than the cup game. Loads of tickets still available.

@Junior02334 @OUFCSLO Not sure where you get your figures on Saturday from? Was less than 400 left at midnight and selling at a rate of about 100 per day, so likely to be a Sell Out or VERY close to one.

@OUFCSLO Was not a personal dig, more aimed at the lack of promotion for the last few home games, which have gone way undersold. Just like Saturday is looking.

@BrushBowler Underrated Tweet.

Looks like Leicester baby squad has a very different meaning tonight #oufc #crymeariver #teamslikeOxford #tinpot

@casualsdirect That's not Plymouth. It's a mixed bunch of chaps, from various clubs, who had a meet up in Oxford several years ago.

Plymouth TCE

@DarrenThrussell @PaulTenorio I left a longer message on The Athletic portal, as there aren't enough characters available on here, and I did mention Kevin Brock on there.

@cbarson @PaulTenorio No Brocky!!!!

Ex-MLS coach Adrian Heath thought the job interview might lead to the next part of the world football would take him. It turned into a nightmare. “I started thinking about all the good stuff about my life,” he said “My wife. My children. My grandkids.” nytimes.com/athletic/69856…
