    I noticed an Oxford fan taking photos of the back of the Ponty End. Not only that, but he said "Beautiful, beautiful". Now being a happy clapping, rose tinted specs wearing optimist, I love my club. But I'd never think of calling the back of my much loved Ponty End 'beautiful' Even more surprising when the fan waxing so lyrically about it comes from the City of Dreaming Spires. :D:D

    For all it’s faults our ground is something to be proud of and of its type and age pretty near perfect. Many several years ago I used to write the Barnsley bit for an alternative guide to the grounds book they used to release. The lads who worked on it from other clubs always praised Oakwell.

    Such a pity the west stand cannot be redeveloped and complete what is a fantastic ground

    Oh, I love our ground. I just found it a bit unusual to hear someone call it beautiful.:)

    I think Oxford fans would have been impressed with everything but the result mate.

    I thought yesterday was brilliant. It was a real kick in the teeth for negativity.

    Great turnout by our fans and the first goal was celebrated like we'd just secured promotion.

    I think we really looked like a club on the up.

    You certain it wasn't you they were referring to as beautiful?
    Your framed picture may now have pride of place on a mantle piece in Oxford...next to a picture of that barmy Pompey fan with the bell.

    The only reason anyone would have a picture of big lil on their mantle piece is to stop anyone going too close and getting burnt

    I was reading one of their forums last night and there were several very complimentary posts about our team, our fans and our ground.

    I've done the same, Mario, and, in all fairness, you're spot on with that.
