Oxford United lost £750,00 last year and are expected to lose a further £660,000 in 2013. One factor has been falling attendances that have fallen by around 2,000 to a season’s average of 5,977, costing the club £200,000. Even against the background of a difficult economic climate, this is a big fall, particularly in relation to comparable clubs.

The club have said that they do not intend to abandon their present ground or give up attempts to buy it from Firoz Kassam, but an advisory committee has been set up to explore the possibility of moving away from the Kassam Stadium, although where they might go is unclear.
