Putting fans of two clubs who hate each other on an unsegregated terrace could be dangerous. Oxford also have a hooligan element who have been looking for a chance to have a good fight.
It is inevitable that most football fans in the Alty area, even those of us whose first love is the Robins, would probabably favour either United or City. I dont recall these feelings leading to any violence on the Moss Lane terraces during an Alty League match. As for Oxford, there was a problem at the Kassam stadium when we played them last season, caused by their local yobs seeing an opportunity to start a fight in a situation where they were unlikely to come off second best. It reminded me of England fans in Dublin in 1995 who started a riot from the protected area of the top tear of the stand, where the local yobs could not possibly attack or retaliate. That incident resulted in the match being abandoned and saved England from another defeat. Pure cowardice. I hope Oxford have security measures to avoid a repeat this season and in the future - if we stay up.
