Hopefully 'we' is us, the collective following of 'our' club, the mighty Oxford United Incidentally, its 'we' when doing well, and 'them' when we are crap.

The question will be asked to West Brom if we can take the Ox head.

Who's going to pick it up from the ground, get it transported there, spend a good chunk of time setting it up? Who's going to stick around after and pack it up? Will the collective fan base do this, or just ask about it on here and hope the chaps currently involved with bringing some colour continue their efforts?

I wasn't intending to be condescending, apologies if it came across that way. Just in five years of putting effort into things like that only a very small number of fans helped, and post likes "we'll take the big flag won't we" seemed to be presumptuous that it the same few would continue their struggles (It was a massive struggle more often than it was easy, but that's an argument to the football establishment in this country). What I've come to realise is that fans here want to see the colour and noise that is regularly seen in Europe, but there seems an apparent apathy to actually do anything about the shitty state of atmospheres in this country. Everything is wrong and I can't ever see it changing.

If only 'we' could learn to enjoy matches by having a craic or a good old fashioned knees up!! You only have to look around during matches here to see swathes of people engrossed in their own world that is their 'smart phone' iPad or whatever.
