An Oxford fan posted on the old site just as I opened this one. So it isn't lost in time I'll post it here:
Boxing day will probably set another record non league attendence of around 11,000, get there early.

We expect to bring around 2-2200 fans on N.Y day, whether that fits into our allocation, only you know.

Your boiler seemingly needs servicing behind the goal, so heating engineers will be there to help. :mrgreen:
Let's hope neither game is called off, should be great atmospheres at both.

How are they expected 11000 on Boxing Day when we'll take 500 tops. If there expecting 10500 home fans thats very impressive.

Will be good to see the Airwair full on NYD, although it will probably be a bit embarrasing, as they will probably nearly double us :oops:

I hope we have North and South Stand tickets ready for them if they sell out the AW, it would be a shame to miss out on an opportunity to cash in.

Lets just hope the fixtures don't fall foul of the weather. Did'nt we lose the Salisbury fixture early in January?

Your right, we'll only take 500. The return game should see them bring 1,500 with us around the 1,600 mark so i'd expect 3,100.

It'll be more than that, they'll be close to filling the Airwair, so several hundred more than us unfortuantly.

They'll very likely outnumber us, but from a financial point of view, it won't be a bad thing to get 2200 away fans.

That said, given it is a big game, we may see a few crawl out of the woodwork who haven't been going this season.

I really cant see 600 more than a usual attendance turning out on NYD!!!! A few more will come out but i think 1600 is a bit opptimisic! I think they will bring closer to 2000.

Shame we will be outnumbered, but hopefully we wont be outsung 8-)

We'll always be outsung. The acoustics are shit in the De Banke.
