The committee are considering adding to the Stadium Heritage Project that the Trust has funded over the last few years. You may recall OxVox worked with both club and Firoka in making the South Stand Heritage Boards a reality and more recently, funded the large Club Crests that adorn each of the stands externally.
We'd like to look at continuing this project with some further work inside the ground, adding colour to the stadium.
We're seeking any financial assistance from corporate partners or members to help us achieve that and would invite anyone interested to get in touch at chair@oxvox.org.uk
The areas we're looking at include the North Stand and East Stand.
Cheers OXVOX

Cheers OXVOX I'd be happy to chip some money into a PayPal account along the lines of the Ultra funding, if this is possible.

Great idea, do the club not help with the funding for this ?

There are exactly the right amount of spaces in the gaps between the metal 'girders' in the back of the north stand for the letters OXFORDUNITEDFC
I always thought that would be a good thing to do, just a suggestion.

Great idea, do the club not help with the funding for this ? Hi We set this project up a number of years ago using funds from the Trust. We had a mandate to use some funds for this purpose. The first part was the South Stand with those key dates, since then we've paid fully for the Club crests on the external part of the stadium - making the place feel more like home to our fans. We'd like to have continued to fund it ourselves but on this occasion we are exploring and seeking financial assistance. The club may contribute but we'd rather try and raise the sums ourselves with support from within the fanbase. This time, we can't justify the expense out of Trust funds so want to look for partners. Thanks

Thanks I reckon that supporters would help finance it through donations although of course Corporate partners would help (maybe they can help in buying the Stadium!!)

Yes sure the funds could be raised via a just giving page or something like that?

Perhaps a mix of corporate and personal donations would work? Of course it does depend on what the scope of the project is!

Thanks for picking this up ox4eva and Gary.
We do have an update. We began to sound out both a fundraising page and spoke to some businesses who were prepared to donate to the project and got some pledges. At the moment, the proposal has stalled due to a number of other reasons but we will be looking to pick this up during the Summer.
Hopefully, an appetite will continue to exist when we pick this up again.

We need to get 2016 added to the south stand. How quickly could that happen..?

We need to get 2016 added to the south stand. How quickly could that happen..? The problem come in where do you fit the new sign, do you add it on the end or re-space the existing signs to space them out equally. Could always push all the existing signs to the left to leave plenty of space for new signs in years to come...
