Our new online donations page is now live.
In return for a small donation to the 12th Man fund, we will if you wish send you a small packet of badges, or fridge magnets, or a mousemat, available in a variety of designs.
Or you can simply make an online donation to the fund and receive absolutely nothing! Except hopefully a slightly better team than you otherwise might have done.
See the ‘Donate’ menu link here on the site for details and pictures of the items available.
All surpluses after the deduction of production and postal costs and PayPal commission costs will go to the fund.

A reminder from the 12th Man, if you haven’t already seen it on another site, that you can help OUFC win cash in a new Football League promotion simply by signing up to a ‘virtual stadium’ online.
The initiative is run by the Football League’s main sponsor npower. Just visit the title sponsor’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/npowerFootballLeague to sign up. The promotion is referred to as the Fanpower Stadium. Clubs in the FL have been given a target based on their level of support. Ours is 7,474 which will take some achieving, so please get your fellow fans, family and friends to sign up TODAY. The promotion does run till early June, but do it TODAY because the aim is to reach the target as quickly as we can.
Once you have signed up, please add mentions on FaceBook of OUFC connected themes – the examples given are player surnames, manager’s surname, Kassam Stadium, Oxford United, the U’s – all FB mentions and updates will be counted towards a further prize fund. Also Twitter mentions will score points.
A fan from each winning club will be chosen at random from within the Fanpower Stadium to nominate how the money is spent from a list of options.

We’ve got a couple of new items to mark the result against the team from down the A420.
All being well they will be available tomorrow pre the Wombles match for just £2.50 each, from Sue Trafford at her stall by the ticket office, or from Michael North at the programme stall inside the South Stand Bar, or from guys with 12th Man buckets around the ground. Even Dave Cudd (Cuddy) may have some at the Priory, since he and his son produce them for the 12th Man!
Both are available as fridge magnets. The first is our ball boy who played a memorable part in the game. The second is our take on the win with 10 men. We hope you like them, there are limited quantities of each and we have other ideas too, so grab them while you can. Artwork on these courtesy of Paul Wakeford, ideas courtesy Paul and Mark Bryden.
Also, we can do either design as a full size mousemat which is yours for just £6.
