Hundreds at United fun day
12:15pm Saturday 5th July 2008
Hundreds of Oxford United fans were given their first glimpse at next season's home shirt this morning.
About 2,000 people flocked to the Kassam Stadium in Grenoble Road for the club's annual fun day.
Some junior fans were lucky enough to play five a side football on the pitch before the club's first team showed off their skills in a training session.
Five first team players also took part in the Oxford Mail's Spot On penalty shootout competition, beating a team of fans 3-2.
The new shirt - in traditional U's yellow - was modelled for the crowd by Miss Oxford Mail Lindsay Fayle.
Paula White, of St Christophers Place, Cowley, said: "It has been brilliant. We love it every time we come here."
The open day runs until 2pm.

What they had talent implants over the closed season. They are c r a p and always will be, an embarassment to Oxford.
He has got a point though. How many leagues are Swindon above Oxford ?

Like a magical
fear, in my heart,
there's always
a footprint that
now disappears in
the light of a pathway,
and there my
desire gives an
attention to some
beautiful birds.

Eye, Cap'n: A Roger Moore Special
It’s hard to believe that Sir Roger Moore is 80 because he’s as sharp as a knife and as self-mocking as ever.
United go down to narrow defeat
Altrincham 1 (Little 64), Oxford Utd 0 OXFORD United paid for not turning dominance into goals as they fell to a sucker punch at Moss Lane on Sunday.
KISS BAR, PARK END ST, OXFORD
Kiss Bar is next to Lava & Ignite on Park End Street, and I’m guessing that not everyone will have set foot there before. This is more because it’s so tiny rather than being any reflection of how good it is.
Status Quo (supported by Luke White) @ the New Theatre
Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
