Hi Foxes, Oxford City fan here. Looking forward to welcoming you to the MGroup. Any questions, ask away!

Wasn’t Bobby Moore your manager once?

 

Did you used to be Headington Town and had Ron Atkinson at centre half?

Yes to first question (they did not play at the current ground then)

Second question; that is Oxford United

Who are you hoping for in the next round? 

Lol. Oxford United, obs. Then Man Utd at home in the third round. Gotta have a dream, right?

What about for the home end?

I am waiting to see... I would imagine they won't be selling home tickets to Leicester address though, if that's your plan!

Another pitch me moment!

 

From winning the FA Cup in 2021 to being disappointed we don’t get our big day out in Market Harborough or Anstey in round 1 in 2026

Not so. The ground is on the outskirts of the city, and easier for Leicester fans to get to than Oxford United, being just off the by pass on the north of the city. Capacity is about 3000, which I think has only been reached once (in game to reach National League). There should be several hundred Leicester fans allowed -the opposite end to the bar!) If they win their game in hand they will be top of the National League north. Yes, an artificial pitch which may take some adapting to. Only just avoided relegation last season but some investment in the playing squad has improved results. Assistant coach is Paul Robinson who has played in played in Premier League for WBA 2003ff.

I think this game is a must for TV coverage.

Not far from Bicester, where my other half is from, so pretty easy to get to. 

 

Where is best for parking? Housing estate near by? I guess the bus service doesn't go near?

called city, play miles outside of the city. Kick em out of the competition seems the only fair approach 

The kiss of death

Will probably be moved to Oxford Uniteds ground for "safety reasons"

No, won’t happen, Oxford United have Stevenage at home.

We're so big, Oxford City haven't even announced the draw on their website yet.
