Oxford United start with trip to Bristol Rovers
9:00am Monday 18th June 2012 in npower League One Table & Results

OXFORD United open their npower League Two campaign with a trip to Bristol Rovers after the fixtures were released this morning.
And it's a repeat of last season in the fact that the U's start and finish their campaign on the road, and are also away on Boxing Day.
Chris Wilder takes his side to Bristol on Saturday, August 18 - four days after their season starts with a home Carling Cup match against AFC Bournemouth.
The match will have added spice with Rovers interested in signing United's leading scorer James Constable - so far having two bids rejected for the striker.
United end with an unglamorous trip to Accrington Stanley on Saturday, April 27.
The U's will be particularly unhappy that yet again they must travel on Boxing Day - this season going south to take on relegated Exeter.
They are, at least, at home to local rivals Cheltenham on New Year's Day - a match that is sure to attract a bumper crowd.
United's first home league match is against Southend on Tuesday, August 21, with Wilder's men also at home to Plymouth four days later.
Oxford's trip to Cheltenham is early in the season - on Tuesday, September 18, with their first match with Wycombe, which is also away, on Saturday, October 27.
The reverse fixture sees the Chairboys come to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday, April 6.
September looks a particularly tough month, with four of United's six games away from home to York, Burton, Cheltenham and title favourites Rotherham.
Matches against new-boys Fleetwood take place on December 22, at home, and January 26 away.

Look at what has happened to my club, and see yourself 3 years down the line if yee dinnae get promoted again. Oxford need 4 more decent players and then promotion is probable, yous lot need a lot more than that to avoid relegation.

You need to get better financial backing - buy the ground and start again - at present you lot appear to be treading water with the charges you are lumbered with.
Also the 'wee laddie' bit - oh sweet you are ...

If you lot are so good that you took "6 easy points" off Swindon why did your team fail to even get into the play offs? You know you are ridiculous, you got lucky twice and we played crap against you, but over 46 games we were by far the better team by over 20 points so get real! And to the "wee laddie", is that how you speak in Oxford? Or is it the result of inbreeding? Finally ....for all your bluff and ridiculous statements you would all give your right arms to be where we are now!!!
They should have taken the money for their beloved Beano who did basically nothing for the rest of the season after us. Slider Wilder has run out of players, ambition and desire. No passion, no money and no ground they can call their own, very shortly alsations , white sticks and tin cans as they go begging for their future. Still my old Mum always said, "don't mock the afflicted " and since Maxwell they have had Kassam and now this other joker.
They say bad luck comes in three's.
This time next year the Town End will be gone and the first stage of our new stadium will have began, oh, and we will be in the Championship. Blue and yellow for ever........... sliding down the tables.
