Have Oxford ever been in the championship?

No, don't think so, they've been at League One level or below since the mid 1990s

Happy for Ruben on making it to the Championship.

 

If I were a Bolton supporter, I'd be very disappointed with how they played in this.

Great day for my grandson 👍🏆

Pleased for Elliot Moore to captain Oxford to the championship 

[Livid]

Well the Bolton pitch invasion the other week was a little premature.

Not really, it was celebrating that moment.

When was the last time Oxford was in the second tier ?

98/99 they went down to that level, they were Championship level for 3 years prior.

Late 90s

just watched the BBC Breakfast show sport not a mention of Oxford winning no wonder the country/world is obsessed with the PL and WSL Elite. spent ages on the Man C  / Arsenal battle that hasn't even happened so not news in the sense of happened.

Luton's away end and Oxford's car park in the same division.

True, watched sky sports and barely a mention.

How can they fit proper news in when they have to force the women's game on everyone watching every hour despite little interest.

Honestly think there were more at Wembley to see us win the Covid FA Cup. I know they're both fairly small clubs but really poor turnout from Crawley and Crewe.

In fairness to Crawley, their stadium fits 6,134, and they sold 16,000 tickets...that's not too bad!

[spacemunky]

That should seal it for Crawley.

The problem isnt necessarily the women’s game, it’s just that women’s game has become a monopoly for the rich 6 again. So when they do talk about women’s football it’s about those same clubs. It’s a joke. If the top 6 teams in the WSL were Donny, Leicester, Everton, Carlisle, Pompey and Cardiff, I’d be here for it.

Played some lovely stuff for this level Crawley. I do like managers who are brave enough to give it a go in League 2 playing like this.

 

Bit more common now but still not the norm

Excellent from them after almost getting relegated last season .

[Guest Lcfc82]

Best team definitely winning this. Quite impressed with Crawley, how’s Liam Kelly ended up in league 2 - too good for that level 

[Wymsey]

Crewe seemed very laboured and out of ideas.

These games aren't big enough for Wembley (and it isn't a true final anyway).

Crawley is a small town of approx 180000 people, what percentage of them would be football type fans I'd imagine to be quite small and 36min by road to Brighton.

 

Not sure what you expected.
