The Football League have chosen the Kassam Stadium to hold their next meeting on November 21 - which should help to put Oxford United back on the football map again.

One of the topics under discussion at the meeting will be a rescue plan to stop the League's deepening financial crisis forcing clubs under, with reports that the FA and Premier League may be ready to bale them out with around £10m in gifts and loans.

Both the FA and Premier League have accepted that it is their duty to help first, second and third division clubs adjust to the harsh financial climate caused by the collapse of the Football League's £315m television deal with ITV Digital last spring.

In return, they want the Football League to introduce some form of wage restraint.

The League's Best Practice Working Group are examining what form that could take and will outline options to the 72 clubs at the meeting.

All the clubs will be represented with most of them sending two officials, usually a chief executive or general manager and the secretary or chairman.

United secretary Mick Brown said: "It's the first one we've ever held at Oxford. At the Manor Ground something like this just wasn't possible."
