tidus_mi2 Maybe Oxford fans are just upset they are closer to relegation to League Two than we are to relegation to League One.

windermereROYAL I`m open to being corrected but i remember a game against the pox at the Madejski, we won 4-3 i think that`s the only time they`ve played in the stadium.

I think that is correct. Pissed down with rain that day.

I remember a game that was on a Sunday pre-lunchtime for Sky, who then decided not to televise it because of the threat of violence (!) - and then it stayed as a Sunday! Seem to remember a terrible drab 0-0 on a grey, cold, miserable day.
May be completely wrong, though.

Doesn't seem to be any 0-0's here - https://www.royals.org/history/Oxford
Although does look like there was a 1-2 defeat at Madejski in addition to the 4-3 win, which has obviously slipped all of our minds.

Mr Optimist Anyone over the age of 50 knows the rivalry. To anyone below 30, Oxford are just another local lower league club like Wycombe, or Swindon come to that. It’s nearly 20 years since we last played Oxford, a period where we have had two promotions to the top flight as champions and have spent an unbroken period in the top two divisions while they have fumbled around in non-league and the lower leagues.
What must really piss off their older fans is that anyone under the age of 25 would consider Reading a second tier club these days, and Oxford a third/fourth tier club, when 35-40 years ago it would’ve been the opposite.
The comment about seeing other bigger more glamorous clubs’ shirts around town, presumably if I went to Oxford city centre all the kids would be wearing Oxford shirts and not Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs tops?
Let’s make sure we stay up and keep trips to Oxford and Swindon as rare visits for cup games.
