The City Council's Strategy and Resources Committee will meet in special session on Tuesday 28th September to discuss and hopefully approve the final financial settlements of the land deal. This could in turn lead to an agreement with Thames Water over their covenant on the Minchery Farm site. This just leaves the Full Council meeting  [ more ]

United beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park, thanks to a Joey Beauchamp goal after quarter of an hour, the first time the U's have ever won there. Arendse returned to goal and Steve Davis returned to the defence. Anthrobus was replaced by Lilley towards the end of the game. A match report gives a bit  [ more ]

Voting closed today in the Rage Online “Shotton: should he stay or should he go?” poll. The final count was quite close, but a small majority feel that it is time for United to be managed by someone else. The full results are as follows: Shotts should stay 42% Shotts should resign 36% Shotts should  [ more ]

It would appear that United have eventually made an offer to Crawley Town for striker Ben Abbey, thought to be in the region of £45,000, based on number of appearances. Oxford are in competition with Exeter City for his signature, which the receiver (Crawley are in administration) won't decide until Thursday, which rules out Abbey  [ more ]

United lost 1-0 at Wrexham, the Robins goal coming from Ian Stephens after just four minutes.

Two former United players were on the move today. Howard Forinton left Birmingham City to join Peterborough for £250,000, and Danny Cullip (currently at Brentford) has joined Brighton on loan. In addition Andy Townshend has joined West Brom from Middlesbrough for a nominal fee (believed to be around £50,000) thus scotching the rumours that he  [ more ]

A vastly, unrecognisably, better performance against Everton in the second round first leg of the Worthington Cup. United took the lead through Matt Murphy and Everton equalised shortly afterwards through Danny Cadamarteri. Jamie Cook came on for Derek Lilley and Rob Folland was replaced by Neil McGowan. Mickey Lewis made his first start of the  [ more ]

A dreadful United performance saw the U's go down 2-1 at home to a not much better Gillingham side. Oxford's goal was scored by substitute Jamie Cook in the last minute, Gillingham's came from a Nicky Southall penalty, needlessly conceded by Jamie Lambert, and Emmanuel Omominyi. Cook came on for Lambert, Weatherstone replaced Lilley and  [ more ]

Well, the world didn't end yesterday, and FOUL held its members meeting at the Supporters Club last night. The disappointingly low turnout was perhaps indicative of a perception amongst United fans that the campaign is now over. Whilst it is true that the club is a lot closer to survival now than at any time  [ more ]

United's reserves drew 2-2 at Northampton last night, with goals from Adam Hamp and Chris Hackett, a couple of youth teamers. Also in the side were Chrissy Allen, Australian triallist Paul Roberts (who was later released as “he wouldn't make us any better), and a couple of French triallists, Cedric Chabert from Valenciennes and Johan  [ more ]
