Our weekly column with Oxford United’s managing director Greig Box Turnbull on the latest news from in and around club
IT’S BEEN an incredible few weeks for the football club, with success in all competitions and the feel-good factor has been fantastic.
Tomorrow’s home match against MK Dons has been called ‘Fans Day’ by the Yellow Army.
We’re honoured supporters are going above and beyond to back the club and are truly thankful for the support.
The vocal backing the players received at Swindon Town was incredible and they commented afterwards that it gave them a massive lift.
Everyone at the club wanted to deliver the win on Sunday and it was clear what it meant to both staff and supporters at the final whistle.
It is important we maintain this resilient mentality and spirit for the rest of the season, as we push to finish as high as possible.
Demand for tickets has been unrelenting and our ticket office staff have been brilliant.
We sold 1,500 tickets in a weekend for our FA Cup trip to Middlesbrough.
I expect this number will have doubled by the end of the week, for the long trip north.
It demonstrates the first-class backing the club has and the scale of the potential there is to continue to develop.
If we can overcome the major strategic hurdles facing the club, in terms of facilities, then our progression could be rapid.
Elsewhere, our WSL season starts again on Sunday, with the new Spring Series launching as we host Everton at 2pm at Abingdon United. Be part of it.
