I'll add my name to the 'Death to the Franchise' petition.
Oxford are still averaging 6,100 odd at home this season, which is slightly up on the 5,900 they averaged for the two seasons before that. I think the predictions are a little exaggerated.

And they're safe this season, for sure. Over the course of the season the bottom two teams have managed just under 1 point/game, so 47 or 48 points will be enough this season to stay up in that division. Oxford already have 43 points, so a win & a draw from their final 8 games will probably be enough.

They play 4 teams who are also in the relegation dog-fight, six-pointers if you will.
Then they face Newport county away on the last day of the season. Imagine if Miles Storey scores the goal(s) to send them down!

Those figures have been skewed somewhat by up to 2000 free tickets being taken up by school kids. By all accounts, if you take away the freebies and any away fans, they have less than 5000 fans. Their midweek game against 'Pool attracted 4300 |

Propped up by loads of free tickets. A lad in my office asked me about going to watch them as his kid and his team got free tickets. Not one taker. I told him if he went I would piss in his tea  |

There's a helluva difference between wanting them languishing in non league and folding completely.
But you're right, there's not enough schadenfreude on here

Taking the piss out of Oxford is like laughing at disabled children.

Dunno, I suspect with jayo, he might not be saying that's a bad thing. More than a touch of the Frankie Boyles about our jayo and not just in the unkempt facial hair |

I personally think the more threads we have on them the more it looks like we care. A bit like the 82'ers obsession with us.
Yes I know it's a bit hypocritical because this post put the thread back up at the top, but fuck you.

I think it's something to do with having been in their division for only one season (2011-12) out of the last 14. In all of the other 13 seasons, we have been playing at least one division above them. Fair enough, they've beaten us each time we have played them recently...but even the 2011-12 games are become a bit of a dim & distant memory now. The fact is that the Oxford rivalry does not mean as much these days, especially to our younger fans, as it used to. We have played them 4 times in the last 14 years; 23 times in the 14 years before that (1987-2001); and 15 times in the 14 years before that (1973-87). And 14 years before that, they didn't even exist. |

They are the cat crap on the bottom of my shoe.
Therefore they should be wiped out/off and franchise are no better.
