Oxford Mail: -UNITED: QPR clash highlights need
Oxford United's need to buy the Kassam Stadium was highlighted by the booking clash which has forced them to cancel a potential pre-season clash with Queens Park Rangers.
The U's had pencilled in July 19 to take on the Coca-Cola Championship outfit, but have had to alter their plans because the Kassam Stadium is needed for another event that day - a wedding.
United secretary Mick Brown said: "It was just unfortunate that QPR released the date before we had firmed it up.
"We thought we could work around it, but we couldn't."
Rachel Harwood, of the Kassam Stadium, said: "Oxford United can have up to four dates outside of the season for friendlies, but need to ask us about them first.
"The first we knew of this one was when it had been publicised.
"We asked the bride if she would switch the reception or share the facilities, but understandably she said no." Oxford Mail
