In all honesty, I can see Cheltenham and Franchise becoming more of a rival than Oxford. To the older fans, of course not. But to fans who have been watching for the last few years it will...
The rivalry with Oxford isn't as big as it's made out anyway. We got bigger crowds against Rovers this & last season than we did against Oxford when we were in Division 1. Only used to get 8,000. Crowds against the Bristol teams & Reading were always bigger. Mate you don't live here, believe me, the rivalry is alive and well. I couldn't give a fuck about Bristol or Reading but Oxford I hate with a passion. |

You can't know about the rivalry unless you living in Chipping Norton or wherever it is you are? Blimey. |

I'll twist your words all I want. You're being patronising and talking bollocks. Living in Oxfordshire doesn't give you a mystical insight on the state of the rivalry.
They can hate us all they want but it's got to be a two-way thing. If newer Swindon fans don't get to experience an Oxford game, the rivalry will start to diminish.

I live around and have grown up with Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool fans.
I can assure you that a rivalry is non-existant but I hate them with a passion.

I wasn't being patronising at all, I was just trying to state that there is a very real rivalry but as usual I get slated for whatever I say on here.

The 'snigger snigger' post was about Oxford being relegated not aimed at him, fucks sake.

Mate you don't live here, believe me, the rivalry is alive and well.
..sounded like you were making out you has some authority because of where you lived. It certainly sounded like it had a patronising tone to it to me. I also argued against the actual point you were making, has the offended you too? Although Si Pies point was better. |

Crowds against the Bristol teams & Reading were always bigger. You're right, the "older fans" who see Oxford as our rivals would be laughed at by the "even older fans" who think of Reading as our oldest and most hated local rivals. For the record, we've played Reading in the league almost twice as many times as we've played Oxford. |
