The Oxford United Open Day 2008
Tomorrow is the big day as we open the stadium for the Oxford United Fun Day 2008.
It's a great day for all the family:
Juniors
Come along at 9am for a special training session on the pitch with our coaches. Play small sided games on the hallowed turf, and then take on the first team in Oxfordshire's biggest game.
Plus every Junior goes into the draw to be a mascot against a Manchester United XI or Portsmouth
To join in just join the juniors by downloading the form here and bringing it along in the morning
Meet the Players
The first team squad will be here for a training session in front of the fans and then to take on the Juniors. They will then meet the fans, sign autographs, and our good friends at Media Lane will be on hand to take photographs of fans with players which we will then get autographed and sent out to you.
They will also be taking on readers of the Oxford Mail in a penalty shoot out
It's not just current players though. Legends of the past such as George Lawrence and Joey Beauchamp will be here, as will Chairman Nick Merry, Miss Oxford and of course the legendary Timmy Mallett.
Tour the Ground
See behind the scenes with our dressing room tour, complete with sound effects; hear the roar as you emerge from the tunnel...
Show off your Skills
The Oxfordshire Football Association will be here to supervise some skills sessions, our own Youth Development team will be running activities on the pitch and you'll be able to take on the youth team at head tennis and 'skills school'
Win the New Kit
The new home shirt will be unveiled, and one lucky fan will be the first to wear it with our massive game of 'Shirt bingo'. Find out how it all works tomorrow...
But the Fun Day is all also about meeting the people who support the Yellows, and among the many many people who will be playing their part will be Buildbase, Jack FM, the Oxford Mail, Oxford Ladies, ASDA, Ultimate Yellows, Oxford Academy, Co-Op Travel, Oxvox, Thames Valley Police, Jambinos, Oxford Cars, Oxford Learning, the Barcello Hotel
