A public meeting has been organised for everyone interested in the survival of Oxford United. It will take place at Oxford Town Hall on Wednesday 25th November. Doors will open at 7.00pm for a 7.30 start.
The purpose of the meeting is to publicise the plight of Oxford United FC and to highlight the potential consequences of the club’s closure to the community. FOUL hopes to demonstrate to all parties interested in the future of Oxford United, from the current board and owner through to potential new owners, local councils and businesses and all residents of Oxfordshire, that there is a large number of people who care deeply about the club’s fate and who are prepared to actively support the continuation of professional football in the city.
As well as calling for supporters of the club to attend this meeting, FOUL has invited a number of local councillors, Members of Parliament, OUFC board members, prominent local businessmen, former players and celebrity supporters to attend the meeting as guest speakers. We are hoping for a positive response. In addition we have also asked for speakers from other clubs who have been near to closure and survived, such as AFC Bournemouth, Brighton and Hove Albion, Chester City etc, to come and share their experiences with the meeting.
FOUL wants Oxford United to survive, and this meeting is the first step towards survival.
Oxford, united, will never be defeated.
For further information please contact FOUL’s press officer Martin Brodetsky on 01865 312438 (office hours) or 01865 248081 (evenings and weekends).
There will be a further announcement once we are able to confirm some of the guest speakers.
