Oxford City will not play in front of fans on Boxing Day Picture: Mike Allen
OXFORD City’s Boxing Day clash with Slough Town will now take place behind closed doors.
The Vanarama National League South club had hoped to welcome 400 fans to Court Place Farm for the fixture, where a win would see them climb into the play-off places.
But the government's decision to put Oxfordshire in tier 4 of coronavirus restrictions means the game will be inside an empty stadium.
David Oldfield's side are guaranteed to go seventh with a win, as the two teams directly above them – Havant & Waterlooville and Maidstone United – are not in action.
