This map, from Non League Maps, show the new allocations for Southern Premier South, the green pins, with Marlow to the left of Slough. Isthmian Premier in yellow. With three teams to the east, Marlow are not close to being borderline for inclusion in the Isthmian Premier.
Whoever that most easterly green is, that must be a really weird feeling having another club on their doorstep but being in a separate regional division. Plus loads more local games taken away.
Hanwell Town is the easterly Southern team, six miles from Hendon in the Isthmian. Even if Southern and Isthmian merged, I don't see how you can avoid situations like this.
35% possession, high intensity, aggressive in defence and not letting the opposition play out from the back? Some might argue that Oxford have finally learnt a few lessons from their regular Adams Park beatings...
Well the only hope is they get relegated next season with a really poor points total . Living in the Oxford area will be pretty miserable putting up with them if they do well.
The only thing I find really annoying is that after bleating about loyalty in football after Manning left, over 90% of the fanbase wanted to fire Des when he did not hit the ground running.

Yep, will always have this borderline situation for a range of clubs. Just sometimes will look sillier than other times.
We are all Boltonions now.
Or 'onions for short
Let's hope these 'onions make Oxford cry
Come on Bolton 🙏
Two of the Poxford starting 11 played in the 2020 final. Here's hoping they're still scarred by their bottling.
Is that the teeth brothers' logo on Bolton's sleeves?
Bollocks
Who is this commentator? He’s abysmal.
Leverkusen have completed the league season unbeaten. Just two finals to go...
Double bollocks
Bolton have been seriously poor here - nothing like the side that played us! Oxford’s tactical set up is pretty spot on, to be fair to them
Oxford have been inevitable. It is more annoying that we will have an ever-stronger Bolton in our division next season!
Can we find a rule that all Championship grounds have to have four sides or something?
That cartoon dog in a burning house saying 'This is fine'
A three sided house just to make it more topical.

We need the spirit of Bolton in 1995 here.
Hoping for a Bolton comeback, but in another way it'd be interesting to see how such a small club like Oxford do in the championship.
From non league to tier 2 would be quite a story.
Great to see Branagan off injured. Nasty little prick.
He sounds half-asleep, keeps trailing off in the middle of his sentences...
Although I cannot stand them, Oxford have been superb here.
Did Ian Evatt show his players our performance from two years ago and go, 'Do that'?

I think Des has shown his players our performance from four years ago and said ‘Do that!’

They'll come straight back down. I have no doubt about that.
