Hi all,
I have just registered as my wife and I are looking to move to Oxford (Botley/Cumnor area) from Kingston in hopefully the not too distant future.
I was hoping I would be able to come along and support a local community club whilst the house search goes on and beyond, and Oxford City have called out to me. Obviously the virus is halting all of that, but I want to get ready anyway!
So I have a bit of an odd link to Oxford City, when I was about 13 (20 years ago) my local team at the time, Redhill, played Oxford City in the FA Cup and I was 'assistant manager' for the day. Odd link as I say, but Oxford City coming to little Redhill at the time was a big deal, so the memory stuck!
Anyway, I look forward to coming to games as soon as I possibly can. I'm following on all the social media, YouTube etc. And think the way the club appears to be set up etc. Looks great. Does anyone have any info, anything of interest or anything that might be good for a newbie to know?
Looking forward to becoming a future regular, and happy to take the opportunity to say hi!

I think everyone is wondering if they will get to see OCFC anytime soon! Sept 1st 2001 saw City scrape(?) a 2-2 draw at Redhill, but I do remember they played tidily on the Tuesday following that to win 4-0. Anyway, as and when you eventually get to Marsh Lane, I hope you enjoy the football.

Not sure about twenty years ago! I was at the Redhill game...or was that Redbridge? Jeez, thought Leyton Orient was a fair way down the Central Line! 😁.
Anyway, nearer 2011 time iirc!
Last game I saw 'live' was Hampton & Richmond Borough v Oxford City, just prior to lockdown. Good day around Richmond and Twickenham!
Welcome aboard!

Yes Redbridge (that was a really disappointing replay) was in 2011. Redhill was in 2001.

Thanks for your replies!
I didn't even remember the Redhill game ending a draw, let alone the actual result.. is that just an impressive memory?
Funnily enough Hampton and Richmond is one of my local clubs now. Was hoping I would be able to catch the Dorking game in October with that not being a million miles away, but no chance of that now it seems!
