OXFORD United are confident their pre-season tour will prove even more popular with fans after the success of last year’s trip to Austria.

An estimated 200 travelled to Central Europe and the club have already announced their plans for this summer.

The squad will fly out to La Cala, near Malaga, on July 10 for a week.

And Joe Nicholls, project manager for Alycidon Technologies, which is owned by chairman, Darryl Eales, will travel to Spain in March to locate the best places for fans to stay.

He said: “Because of the success of Austria a lot of fans want to go – I would expect to beat 200.”
