Great video by the way mate. Top stuff. It was actually the first league Thames Valley Derby in 22 years. A lot of fans under 30 had never experienced one before. The longer we stay in the same divisions the more the rivalry will grow again, their is certainly a real underlying hatred between the clubs. Up the Royals!
that is 100% true coming from a oxford fan as well for the last 22 years oxford fans started thinking oxford v swindon was bigger but i believe this one means something to both teams can't wait to play you guys again at the kassam stadium oxford will sell that out load of oxford fans where looking for tickets for the game
See you in February. It's a shame you'll only give us 1500. Can't wait for the rematch.
@@JRS-Royal1871I know right I can't wait to leave are ground then we can get more away fans
I'm Oxford and don't really care about Reading, Swindon I hate, Reading meh. Diet MK Dons you lot Madejski's money made you.
Great video. Read up on what Robert Maxwell wanted to do with the two sides and you’ll understand the rivalry more…
Up the ding. The cameo from Micah caught me off guard what a legend haha
readings real rivals are aldershot, shame we haven’t played them in a very long time though
You know Reading true
Quality video as always sir. Good seeing you. I’ll take my prediction of the Smith shush 😂
Fusionjosh no one happier in the ground than you when smith scored 😂 urzzz
Great video, loved this! You should come and some experience some non league at Bracknell! 🙌
Oxford v Reading? Of course I've heard of it, as have many others. Brechin City v Forfar Athletic. Heard of that one?
😂
Up the ding, class u came Josh
Must have been nice for Oxford fans being given an away allocation bigger than their ground. 😊😮😊
Up the Ding
enjoy league two hahahahah
300 Oxford lads in town centre both had good firms
Good mob out on both sides, Thames Valley Police had the best result though. Did kick off a few times, Reading having the upper hand.
Reading got run everywhere when confronted kicked of once with 50 reading v 10 Oxford Oxford held own police would never let Oxford go reading on a Saturday you would get destroyed unlike reading as not got as many no threat on a day could bring more
You need to watch ipswich vs Norwich
Reading fan here…. FUCK OXFORD COME ON URRRRRZ
As a reading supporter I love this
All the Oxford fans singing a few mins later all go quiet 😂😂😂😂😂
... and reading only sing after scoring 😂
@@Howie57 I don’t support either team you moron 😂😂😂😂
@@Howie57I thought the Reading fans were quite good actually. I know you’re only league 1 but as a neutral, the Oxford fans were some the quietest I’ve seen for a sell out away end from the view of a ground hopper. Are Oxford fans usually like that?
@@Nocluedo yes oxford fans are terrible, they brought 1k at charlton whilst reading brought 2.6k
funny that, Oxford are a significantly smaller club.@@dawciopawcio69
For crazy, in our premier league days they were a non-league club
I was sat 2 seats behind you mate and love all you videos😊
Josh the reason oxford fans did not like sam smith clapping them at the end is because what he did while playing for cambridge on 26th of February 2022 we where remembering a club legend who saved the club from clossing down with a move to westham for 2 mill and after he scored he ran right to the oxford mail stand to wind us up on the day we where remembering a club legend

Joey Beauchamp?
Great video
Swindon is Oxford biggest rival
Great vid man! I've from Holland and been going to Henley on thames near Reading for years now, never visited a Reading game yet though! How much roughly are tickets for a Reading game and do you need something like a clubcard to be able to get tickets? 😁 keep up the content mate!!
grounds empty becasue its too big for them, probs be ~25 gbp for a ticket
@@perfectable102 and does it work with a clubcard sorta system or can you buy tickets at the stadium aswell as online? Thanks for the rospense man ✌️
@@davyebbers8277 You need a membership which is free. Crowds the smallest it’s ever been due to the demise but one of the bigger crowds for that division and one of the better atmosphere in the league as someone who ground hops. 👍
@@Nocluedo thanks man appreciate it✌️
Make sure you buy a ticket in the east stand (y24-26 blocks) or the south stand if you want the best atmosphere. All the best mate 👍
0:25 it honestly just blew my mind that you are only 21
I was at that game (I'm a Oxford supporter)
Great video btw pal from a loyal royal ! URZZZ
U should deffo go Shrewsbury wrexham for a video like this. Gunna be insane
Lovely all the efl games recently
Nice video
Where are reading in the league again???????
Got nothing on Swindon vs Oxford
Indeed mentioning that Sam Smith also played for Oxford (2018-19) for a season loan deal but only played 14 games.
You should go to ipswich vs Norwich
Knibbs love in = Thogden brother vibes
Video every day!
Wtf I’ve heard of reading vs Oxford who hasn’t
Top 6 fan boys
@@Tagikakibau good for you I don’t support either teams so couldn’t really care
you loook like fred flinstone
Easily should've been 2-0 to Oxford, the reading goal was way offside and there was at least one penalty during that game, one time and Oxford player was completely obstructed when nearly through and the Bodin for Oxford was completely bodied to the floor in the box
oh no anyways
Weep 😭😭
There must have been at least 4 stewards keeping those fans apart! That’s some serious hatred!!
Should have been in town mate
Who wants to get nicked you prick
atletico Lazio?
Such a big game? Vast ranks of empty seats!
Still 14,500 on a Tuesday night when you're sitting second bottom in League One isn't really too bad. I agree would have liked it busier, unfortunately the ownership situation with Dai Yongge killing the club has meant a lot of fans are boycotting games, voting with their feet. Added to that it was postponed to 3 different dates from it's original Saturday fixture, I'm sure Thames Valley Police were relieved about that. Had the ownership situation been sorted and it was a Saturday game I think it would have been 20k +
Still about 5k more than Oxford s "stadium"
I saw u at that game u put ur thumb up to me I was in light blue bottoms and white Balenziaga jumper
I went to that up the ding come on Reading urzzzzz
And I’m 10
Urzzz
Go to Brighton vs Marseilles
YELLOWS!!!
25miles & 45 mins apart, rivalry not quite a derby.
it's been a derby for decades, norwich to ipswich is over an hour and that's classed as a derby
It's a derby 100%, if you look at the history between the 2 clubs like when Maxwell tried making them one team, you will understand the hatred between the fans.
Both are county teams I e have fans from the whole of Oxfordshire and Berkshire. They both border each other so zero minutes apart.
It's always been a big derby and will only continue to get bigger now the rivalry has been renewed, there is a real underlying hatred that has lay dormant for over two decades. I can only see these matches getting more intense in ferocity the more we play each other. Hopefully we can get back up the leagues if we could finally get our crook owner out, A Thames Valley Derby played in the Championship or higher one day would be nice again.
A 20 minute train journey isn't a derby?
Hope you enjoyed it mate. Oxford fans were quiet as mice the whole game and couldn't sell out on their big day out. Haha. The second half was an appalling spectacle didn't help the atmosphere in fairness the standard of play sucked the life out of the Reading fans second half. Loved Sammy Smith's celebration in front of the scummy Yellow c*nts. Onwards and upwards. Urzzz.
Atmosphere was s*** overall, but we sold our allocation,
Lot of empty seats from the home end, bit odd as Chelsea is also doing poor and didn't play yesterday, you drop any further down the football league you might just reignite your rivalry with Aldershot.
@@JackWilliams-bt8wg we'll be fine mate, we'll stay up! Let's face it your best team in about 20+ years couldnt beat our worst team in 40 years. See you at your 3 sided shed in February where you'll see a proper away support. I doubt you can allocate us the 3000 you were meant to sell out last night. I'm sure we'll be meeting again next season as you're getting no where near the playoffs.
Wouldn't call it our best team in 20 years, probably our worse performance this season on par with Wigan away,
Proper away support what a drum on his lonesome in the corner and a song to a tune that Swindon sing ,your away support has always been poor can't even average over 1000 in the championship ,says over 14000 in there yesterday seem unlikely looks like the old mk dons trick and inflate the attendance.
@@JackWilliams-bt8wgwe average 4k at home more than you and 500 away wtf are you on about you tin pot c**t . Look it up go on
@@JackWilliams-bt8wgI don’t think he wanted your life story, Jack.
If people haven't heard of this "derby" that's because it isn't a big one - Oxford have historically always cared more about Swindon than Reading and Reading's derby was always with Aldershot.
So a bit of footballing rivalry history, Reading v Swindon was the historical derby that dates back to pre football league days for both clubs before 1920 (southern league) etc. Aldershot were also a very big rival of Reading and still are to this day, if you attend Aldershot Town matches you will regularly hear anti Reading songs but unfortunately due to the Shots demise in going bust in 1992 this Derby match has lay dormant for multiple decades, we did play a "Friendly" at the Recreation ground in 2001, but due to multiple violent clashes and several arrests in a pre season game this fixture was no longer allowed to take place, a young Reading supporter was also felled and hospitalised by a piece of concrete thrown by an Aldershot supporter on that day. Headington United (now Oxford United) were traditionally a non league side until the 1960s by which time Reading had long standing rivalries with both Swindon and Aldershot. They started to build up local rivalries with both us and Swindon in the 70s and 80s. The height of Reading's rivalry with Oxford came in the early the 1980's when Robert Maxwell tried to merge the two teams to form the Thames Valley Royals that would play in Didcot, a place in between both Reading and Oxford, this was met by violence, anger and protests by both clubs which heightened the hatred for one another. In the 1990s the three sides Reading, Swindon & Oxford met in division 1 (now the championship) for a few seasons and the games became known as the Didcot Triangle Derbies. Reading v Swindon (M4 Derby) Reading v Oxford (Thames Valley Derby) and Swindon v Oxford (A420 Derby). Since the early 2000's Reading have spent all their time playing in the Championship and 3 seasons in the Premier League. Both teams have been in Reading's shadow for a long time with Swindon having bounced around between League One and League Two, having recently met Oxford in the leagues once again heightening the rivalry. Oxford have mainly spent their time in even lower divisions including a number of years attempting to get back into the league following an extended spell in Non League Football after relegation in 2006.

YELLOWS!!!!
Sad bastard
Thanks to glory hunters this long awaited local derby is played in front of a half empty stadium. Sad.
Mummy and daddy pay for everything in your house
Just like palace vs brighton for me a tinpot derby that is quite frankly for the rest of the UK and for the world irrelevant
Seriously tinpot. Two of the dullest clubs ever to darken the door of English football. A derby that has that many empty seats is just embarrasing
Idiot so your expect 25000 for a div 1 club at the bottom
Your dad wanks on all fours
Who do you support then numpty
Both tinpot compared to Swindon
Yeah tinpot Swindon
Haha Swindon, do me a favour, we all know what happened to your lot in the Paint Pot Trophy, you got fucking battered all over Reading town center.
