I LOVED THE MANOR I USED TO STAND ON A MILK BOTTLE CRATE IN THE LONDON ROAD END NEAR ONE OF THE GATES AT THE FRONT AS I WAS TO SHORT TO REALLY SEE OVER THE FENCE AT THE FRONT. REMEMBER THE MILK CUP GAME AGAINST NEWCASTLE BRIGGS GOT SENT OFF AND KEEGAN SCORED WITH A FREEKICK FOR THEM BUT OXFORD STILL WON THE GAME .
i remember this. bloody hell. i was a teenage united fan watching on TV - yet another sub standard performance from Atkinson's lot. Even have it on a VHS tape somewhere. How did Oxford get a 1-1 at Old Trafford in the first replay?? Oh yeah, because it was 80s Utd. Fergie should have come in in 83, not 86.
But maybe the kassam will one day be something to be proud of.... with 4 sides.....and who knows......maybe one day.....fill in the corners.......and get 25,000 in there.....
soooooooooooo miss The Manor Ground :( we should never have built that piece of crap Kassam Stadium. These were the glory days and thank god good ol' Deddy Steve has them on youtube. Beech Roader till I die !!!!
I'm a Colchester United fan and we've just lost our Layer Road ground to make way for a plastic identikit 'stadium' miles out of town - with no rise in attendence figures either. I never went to the Manor Ground, but it looks fantastic in these videos, I appreciate how you must feel. I was a Col U season ticket holder for the best part of a decade, but won't be setting foot in the new ground. When will people accept that these new grounds do not constitute 'progress'? :(
i missed the glory days im only 14 ive seen oxfd religated from footy league, lose 2-0 to grimsby , oxfrd utd ruied all around and my first match when i was 7 we lost 1-2 to luton town.....

Have many happy memories of the manor ground. (Or happy memories of leaving the stadium after such an atrocious view in the away end!)

It's annoying that people are happy with the dross served up at Oxford these days when I can remember many matches like this!
SMITH OUT! (although he was good when this match was played!!!!!!)
