Oxford United

By Liam Rice

Reporter

Good morning everyone,

Well here we are, we’re going to Wembley.

In game 58 of what has been such a topsy-turvy season, Oxford United are now just one game from the second tier of English football.

It’s a one-off Wembley shoot-out. The winners will remember today for generations to come. The losers will be inconsolable. Only the play-offs can produce this level of excitement and anticipation, and nerves and stress.

And that’s just been me this week. I won’t think about what the experience is like for the players and staff.

If you’re on the train, coach, car or bus on the way to Wembley, check out this week’s newsletter for all the latest U’s stories.

When you do get here, be loud. Be proud. Be United.

Get the latest on the U’s in the newsletter every Saturday morning.
