What i want more than anything else? A repeat of the Wimbledon game (without the crap down the front.) Us to concede, and the whole crowd, however many fans there may be, get behind the team and create a special atmosphere. Freudian slip?

Anyone know/able to check whether we have sold more tickets than usual at this stage?

It's early days, but sales started to pick up yesterday, and with a couple of things to help promote this coming out today, we hope today and over the weekend ticket sales will pick up, and then next week is when the most tickets will be sold.
If you are able to, please buy tickets early to help build momentum. We want every Oxford fan to feel proud to support the club we love during Ultimate Support Saturday. We can all play a part In that, and we want every fan to feel involved.

I just hope we win on Tuesday or all your hard work mr Lennon will be wasted !!! Things certainly are made more difficult by results like today. I understand the feelings that fans have about the manager, and our position, and I have feelings on the subject of my own. But I won't be there on Saturday because of Chris Wilder, I will be there because despite things not being great, I love Oxford United, and want to unite with other fans who love the club just as much, to make some noise, and to show that when the going gets tough, we as fans will back Ultimate Support Saturday, and be there for our fans day, because we have some of the best football supporters around. A lot of hard work has gone into next Saturday, and I will work even harder this week to make the day as good as possible for fans of Oxford United. Please support us In what we are trying to do.

JL, we are mega disappointed by the result today, it was only a short trip for us up the M1, but me, Notts Yellow Junior and NYJ2 will be there on Saturday, because, quite simply, as you say its Oxford United FC.

This is a great opportunity to demonstrate against Wilder. Spread the word.
I get that some may feel that's a negative thing to do but bringing about a change of manager is the most positive thing we can do for our club at this time.

Hackett has been absolutely superb all season. One of, if not, our best player all season. Every time he gets the ball and runs at the opposition you just think that something is going to happen and he'll do something with it.

Thank you to those who have got in touch and said they know a lot of hard work had gone into Saturday and will be there as they know it will be a good day, with a decent atmosphere.
If you don't back Wilder, but back the fans and our football club, then please be there Saturday.
It's the only Ultimate Support Saturday we will have this season, so myself and others have tried to make it the best one yet. If there is one game you come to in the next few weeks, I hope it will be this one.
Bring the noise!

Northampton are flying so should bring a load. Not exactly flying but our season looks like it's taking off at last. We've had similar injury problems to you lot and things are improving as payers return.

IF we can recreate the Derby match atmosphere we had against the scum- i'll feel a bit more confident than i do right now. Let's face it, we need to, the manager can't motivate them.

We have big game players, so I'm sure they will be more than up from it from the noise we create.

While fully supporting the Ultimate Saturday Support idea for Saturday, I really hope that the chairman/manager don't try to 'spin' a hopefully excellent, vocal and supportive attendance as approval for the way the club/team is being run at present...

The Torquay game, and Aldershot games will be the true indication of how things really are. Having a big crowd there on Saturday will only show the chairman just what Oxford fans are capable of week in week out if they are happy and enjoy coming to football.
For those wishing to send a message to the chairman, come along on Saturday, and be part of a good crowd and decent atmosphere, and show what we are capable of.
Saturday is about the fans day, creating a great atmosphere, and we are working hard to make it the best day possible. We hope no one stays away Saturday, as being there will say a lot. We as fans are united, and love OUFC.

Very good point, of course they wouldn't stoop so low as to do that, would they?! JL is optimistic -as ever, good on him. And i really hope that there is a large and vocal attendance, and that it dawns on the Chairman/Owners what fantastic support there is- and potentially even greater, with a lot of effort and ambition on their part.

I will be on Radio Oxford tomorrow evening at half time during the Barnet game to talk about Ultimate Support Saturday. Thank you to Jerome and Radio Oxford for supporting what we as fans are doing.
Can someone from OxVox get in touch via PM please, in regards to what Mark and myself spoke about recently.
And if anyone has a blog, or a way of spreading the word about USS, then please get in touch to. Saturday is a day for all fans. It belongs to us all, so get involved if you can.
Hopefully we can all make Saturday a great atmosphere, with a decent crowd watching us get 3 points.

Nice one hopefully this will get a few more people through the gates, I'm sure you'll do a great job getting the idea across. What's the other thing with Mark and Oxvox mate?

We will never create an atmosphere as good as that against anyone except Swind*n... still can create a quality atmosphere though!

Thank you to everyone for your support for what we are organising for Saturday. I am fully aware of the feelings of some fans, and I share some of the same views. But it seems many fans are putting opinions to one side just for this weekend, and instead of staying away on Saturday, they will be there for Ultimate Support Saturday, and want to be a part of the fans day, organised by fans. We really appreciate that, and thank everyone for buying tickets, or those who are soon to buy tickets.
On Saturday, bring flags, balloons, ticker type, banners, or anything else to add to the colour and atmosphere in the day. We want to create a real noise, to sing loud and proud. We all love Oxford United, and on Saturday we will show that, and hopefully inspire the team to get the 3 points.
Thank you. We know things are tough right now, so we appreciate the support, and its shows we have some of the best football fans in the world.
BRING THE NOISE!!
