we only moved down here 7 years or so ago so i have not had the pleasure of going to either of there dumps
I used to watch derby and games against forest were allways nasty but it wont get that bad will it?

why is it they dont have the same dislike for wycombe cheltenham etc?

1, areas to avoid at all cost
2, a safe place to park
3, a safe place to eat chippy/takeaway etc
4, is it best to leave early or wait in the ground afterwards for the idiots to drift away

thanks inadvance

Why bite?

Been both home and away and never any problems - they talk a good game  :)

I took the oxford mail stand once on a visit with work

They have a superiority complex off the pitch and an inferiority on the pitch.

You will be fine, like all scummers they are all mouth ;)

My first away game against you lot was 13/9/1969, the early days of football hooliganism. It was a nil nil draw, with about 20,000 crammed into your place, and Oxford absolutely ran riot, no segregation, Oxford everywhere, ran you clowns all over the place. That game set the standard for what was to follow over several decades.

Eleven days later, we beat you one nil, at the Manor in the League Cup (David Sloan diving header). You were the holders, and you bought absolutely f*ck all to our place, which also set the standard for what followed over many years.

The game in February 1971, yes I was there, and no we never took the Town End that year. That was the year a lot of your lot were wearing berets, for some strange reason. But we were in your end for the whole game. That was the one and only time in that era, that you avoided complete humiliation.

The following year, we took your end, and totally humiliated you. You were an embarrassment. Likewise the following year, we filled your end and you were nowhere. In fact that signalled a period where you lot never even turned up at home against us, such was our superiority. If you want to quote 1971, as some sort of victory, let me ask you, were you there? Because I was, and I was there for all of the other years that I've mentioned, getting nicked in 1973 for my troubles, and you will know that what I'm saying is true. 1971 you avoided your annual humiliation, that's all, no more, no less.

Oh and do you want to tell me about all the times you lot turned up at the Manor and came in the London Rd? No though not............

I can imagine him shaking his walking stick whilst writing this.

I'm a girl and I'm coming with all my girlfriends, will I be safe?

This one's a belter.  Taken, again, from the Yellows Forum from a thread about hooliganism hilariously titled 'Oxford Retain the Moral Highground'.  I couldn't vouch - or care - whether any of this is true.  But I'm guessing that Eric may suffer from self-esteem issues.  (Phrases like 'such was our superiority' and 'totally humiliated you' do, unfortunately, read like the fantasies of a very small man.)

Just hold hands. You should be fine.

More like Eric Sabin! (I seem to remember him being deluded as well)

Jesus, that's cringe.

Those in the know don't need to Broadcast it as this 'Eric guy' seems too get off on doing, both clubs in the past had a 'very sizeable hooligan element', this is very much consigned to the past and no place for it in modern football, I'd be very surprised if their was any trouble next week, handbags and a lot of gobbling off will be the order of the day.

always new you navy lot were like that :gay:

Q. Will Kids be safe at Oxford?

A. They should be fine now Rix and Alsop don't ply their trade their anymore.

No, you will all definitely be stabbed.

Been to virtually all the Pox Swindon games home and away since 75 and only once had a problem with some Swindon skin heads having a go at me and my mate walking back to the station.

If you don't go looking for trouble then more than likely you will not have a problem.

Next Saturday almost all of the Swindon fans will be Season Ticket holders and no idiots will travel.
Big games always bring out the scum bags. A few from the Leys Estate may want to have a go at innocent fans but I'm sure the Police will have it sorted.

Lets just hope we stuff them.

Maybe Eric was 5 when he ran riot at his first Derby game? He'd still only be about 48. A man obviously between 60 and 80 with such a vivid imagination,  what a tool. Why would the pox ever get in our home end when they barely half filled the away end? I have been to a lot of derby games over the years,  all I can say is he must have gone to different games  :)
You ever met him Reg?   :D

I do remember once a bit of a ruckus behind the Stratton Bank

It looked as though the Oxford hard boys had chased away some families, which they were feeling mightily triumphant about. Then from around the corner came some Swindon lads. They got closer and somebody from somewhere went 'come on then' and they clashed but what happened next was bizarre.

After the initial clash, in which I think some feet connected or something, both sides just sort of stopped. They just seemed to bottle it and walk slowly away from each other as though nothing had happened. Of course, the chants started up again once both sides were at a safe distance from each other. It was all a bit comical really, I wonder if 'Eric' remembers that?

Bring your flags and banners and your voices Saturday, let's show the Scum what a proper football crowd is like.

Every single 'match thread' currently on the Yellows forum is about us (as far as I could see). That is pathetic.

The only one with any sense on there seems to be the rebel guy, can't wait to get out of this league and leave that lot behind. Now let's beat them on Saturday.

Are you kidding? Worst wind up ever. Who was it? ;)

Im not cretinous, your all aids ridden

I quite often find myself agreeing with ardiles, bit not on this one.

This is the league game that when viewed in isolation I want to win more than any other, and want to lose even less. This is the one that will have me walking on air for a week, or have me grumpy  for the same.

I hate that they won at the cg for the first time in my lifetime. I want revenge.

In the context of our season there is only 3 points at stake. But this game is so much more to me.

So being it on, even the stupid posts and nonsensical witterings.

All I ask is any violence stays away from those not looking for it. Stays away full stop.

Di Cuntio - ranks up there with Aljokefree as the worst insulting names ever doesnt it?

I'm going because I think we're going to destroy them.



Swindon will bottle and they're bound to go through a major blip. We got every chance to win that title.



And many of us have had the misfortune to go to Swindon. We understand why there are so many mugs to pay the £25 - the people of Swindon are not very bright and the place is such a dump there is very little us to amuse their tiny minds.
