I don't think so. Oxford are a bigger club.

We have four stands so yes.

If you did a fan to stand ratio though, then they would probably win

Oxford have more of a history. And a better university.

they also have a larger car plant, meaning more truly working-class people, which is of course the bedrock of any true community football club. when our collection of IT consultants and sales executives get bored of sitting on top of Smallmead tip, then we'll see who rules the roost in the Thames Valley.

And let's not forget that big mail centre place, workers of which are always on strike. Blue collar all the way.

when we are in the Conference, I bet John Ma£££edski will still have his love-child Brendan "I haven't got a clue" Rodgers in charge.

Hardly. They were formed in 1893, were called Headington United until 1960 and didn't enter the league until 1962. In fact few clubs have less history than them.

Oxford won the 1986 League Cup and would have been in the UEFA Cup the following season were it not for the post-Heysel ban.

Not only that, but they beat QPR 3-0 in said final whereas we lost 4-1 to QPR last night so in many ways they are 7-1 better than us, as well as having effectively qualified for Europe which is something we have never done.

RFC have lodged a planning application to knock down the North Stand, in preparation for the future.

yeah, but our Simod cup victory was during the same ban and we were deprived of competing in the Simod Cup Winners Cup, in which, based on a simulation by Lawro and Garth Crooks, we would have lost to Abramski Zloty in the third round.
