Oxford United will start their Blue Square Premier season with an away trip to Barrow - a day before the scheduled start to the season and live on TV.

In the league's fixtures, which were released today, Darren Patterson's side will face newly-promoted Barrow on Friday, August 8 before two back-to-back home games against Weymouth and Eastbourne Borough.

Then then travel to Wrexham, also live on Setanta, the following Thursday.
