The public meeting organised by the supporters’ crisis group FOUL (Fighting for Oxford United’s Life), to take place at Oxford Town Hall on Wednesday 25th November, looks set to be a resounding endorsement of the campaign. FOUL committee members, who distributed flyers publicising the meeting to supporters attending United’s game against Port Vale, were delighted with the response they received from the fans. Judging by the numbers who announced their intention to attend the meeting the group is confident that the meeting will be very well attended. FOUL organisers would like to encourage as many people as possible to attend to try and fill the 550 capacity hall.
Confirmed speakers at the meeting include Oxford City Councillor Hollingsworth (in whose ward the Manor is located), Dave Nash (Oxford United’s Education Officer), Thames Valley FM sports reporter Jerome Sale, Malcolm Niekirk (a solicitor who represented AFC Bournemouth supporters in their successful attempt to create a community club) and Craig Brewin (National Treasurer of the Football Supporters Association). It is expected that this list will lengthen in the next three days. In addition many people and organisations have promised to send messages of support to be read out at the meeting.
FOUL organisers recommend that people arrive as early as possible at the meeting, which is due to start at 7.30, with the doors opening at 7.00pm.
