Oxford Utd have been promoted to the Football League... and we are still here!
History could quite easily have repeated itself were it not for the actions of Ilyas Khan and Peter Marsden down in that London. Now we find ourselves at the end of our most successful season, with every hope of bettering the record in 2010/11.
At long last, next season we will be able to play Oxford United after they won the Conf. Playoffs today! In the various twists of fate that have preceded the last 50ish years, we have never been in the FL at the same time and ironically they were relegated, when we were promoted!!
So along with Stevenage, we will have a few new Teams down at The Crown next season!!
I was going to post this as a new thread, but that Shaker got there first - great minds!!!!!!
I am sure I have been to Oxford to watch stanley in the past, or am I dreaming or getting mixed up with Cambridge??
Oxford were relegated from League 2 the same season we got promoted so we sort of took their place, spooky as they had taken Stanley's place back in 1962 when we had to resign from the league
