Oxford United are likely to demand compensation from the Kassam Stadium company after the farce which resulted in their Boxing Day game against Rushden being postponed.

The club lost out on the biggest money-spinner of their season when referee Brendan Malone ruled the playing surface unfit following a 1pm pitch inspection.

The decision will cost United more than £50,000, and left thousands of supporters dumbfounded and angry.

A 10,000-plus crowd was anticipated and many fans had travelled huge distances to get to Oxford.

Hey Villager,

Wondered if you would be able to comment. Thanks for the further insight, all adds up to another case of the management getting it wrong but not prepared to stand up and take it on the chin. Always more to these cases than meets the eye.

Happy New Year to you and all at HCC.

Thanks for the explanation villager. I was not aware that you were being made scapegoats, i was just annoyed to think that who ever is in charge overall, deems it acceptable not to have a full time person at the helm to call the shots.
