Oxford looking like selling all their allocation of 1500 for Saturday (they have sold out their section of the Colin Farmer and have 100 left in the Hazlewoods).
After Charlton, is it overconfident to anticipate something close to 4k home fans meaning a comfortable 5k+ attendance? That'd be fantastic. The Boxing Day game v Plymouth in 2019 had over 5000, as I recall. Could be the biggest since then?

I do not think we will get much past 4,000 to be honest but we shall see.

MVDCCCLIII, one opines.
It's good to see you back Bertie. You haven't posted for a while.Educated Bertie wrote:MVDCCCLIII, one opines.
1853? A tad low. Maybe you meant MMMMDCCCLIII (4853)?
Or were trying to using the symbol for 5000 (the website doesn't support it) as the basis for the number?

One must only concur our esteemed Bertie intended to convey IVDCCCLIII, or rather 4,853 in the common contemporary vernacular.Artemis wrote:1,848 is a bit low...Educated Bertie wrote:MVDCCCLIII, one opines.
Citizens of the forum shall await Bertie’s mea culpa and clarification else we opine cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare.
Except IV should have a line over the top of it to indicate it is above 3999 but such symbols are not supported.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:One must only concur our esteemed Bertie intended to convey IVDCCCLIII, or rather 4,853 in the common contemporary vernacular.Artemis wrote:1,848 is a bit low...Educated Bertie wrote:MVDCCCLIII, one opines.

Indeed Red Duke. Alas as you say, the forum does not permit such symbols so posters non supra grammaticos.
1,848.....strictly speaking, lower numbers in front of higher ones are subtracted....so 5 is subtracted from 500...Red Duke wrote:It's good to see you back Bertie. You haven't posted for a while.Educated Bertie wrote:MVDCCCLIII, one opines.

which gives 1000 + (500 - 5) + 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1,848
In the absence of the vinculum on modern keyboards, I'm going MMMMDCCLXXIV or in decimal Arabic notation, 4,774
