Not any more.
We have been assured that the club did not request or sanction that those disabled spaces be used for VIPs on Saturday, and they had no knowledge of those spaces being disallowed for disabled fans.This is the first we've heard of this, and we have asked for an explanation, it really isn't acceptable to reduce BB spaces.
As an aside, we look at the forum at intervals but if you want OUSP to follow up something and be sure we've seen it, your best bet is to email us ouspinfo@gmail.com
We recently ascertained that the supporters panel removed the need for proper fans forums. It’s why it was put in place.
As one who was involved in the process of setting up the panel, I can assure you that that was never, ever the intention nor would that have been accepted by anyone of us who were involved.
Why don't you contact the panel (ouspinfo@gmail.com) or, for that matter @OxVox and ask them about Fans Forums?
It took you almost an hour to reply this again… are you okay hun?Rather than using a third party contact the SLO directly.................. it's his job.
I suspect there will be a lot of 'passing the buck' on this. Its an embarrassment for whoever sanctioned it and the club.So who made the decision to stick “vip???” In the blue badge spaces?
Why would you doubt a steward would make this up but happily believe the club have lied?I very much doubt a steward made this up so it's a little poor of the club to attempt to lay the blame at misinformed stewards. Own and learn from your mistakes is all i personally would ask.
That’s a shame, they might miss out on a few good cup nights.I know of two more who will not be attending any games not covered by their season tickets. Not for the reasons above but simply because of how they feel the club has treated them. (Both long standing supporters)
Indeed it is. And, as a result, I’m sure we’ll never know which plonkers were responsible.I suspect there will be a lot of 'passing the buck' on this. Its an embarrassment for whoever sanctioned it and the club.
my sister, dad & nephew all 3 ST holders, 2 of them BB holdersWhy would you doubt a steward would make this up but happily believe the club have lied?
I can see the situation;
People arrive before the car park stewards are in place… fill up the disabled bays.
Steward is asked why cars without blue badges are parked in there and, rather than admit they dropped a ball, say the club have decided those cars can’t be moved… I can see it falling in to the too difficult box to trace the owner who is now enjoying a bacteria riddled Chinese, 2 hour wait for fish and chips or plastic burger.
@Sarge I’m not doubting your source and hope, however the mistake was made, it is resolved for next time.
It took you almost an hour to reply this again… are you okay hun?
I understand your frustration and disappointment that assurances given to improve disabled parking arrangements at matches have not been upheld. It is important for the club to prioritize the needs of disabled supporters, and it is disappointing to hear that this has not been the case.Oh dear- the powers that be took the decision for the Cambridge match to deny access to 6 disabled spaces to accommodate VIPs .... who evidently OUFC value over and above the needs of Bluebadge disabled supporters
this was in the section behind the fence end SSL in the oblong small area on the right driving towards the SSL/ fence end
Rather embarrassed stewards informed 'its only for this game'
which really isn't the point
Disabled OUFC supporters when parking, close to the ground ( limited mobility) require target parking spaces (disabled spaces) to allow exit and entry to vehicles.... having to forage around the carpark for a( narrow) parking space some distance away from what are designated disabled spaces really isn't good enough
Assurances were given by OUFC- to both @OUSP Secretary and @OxVox after a cat A match, last season, when TVP commandeered a number of disabled spaces at the fence end by the North stand, that more attention would be paid regarding the parking requirements of bluebadge holding OUFC supporters on matchdays
Disabled parking spaces are in short supply around the breeze block anyway- priorotising VIPs over disabled supporters quite simply is not on

Short memories or blatant disregard ( thus confirming that OUSP is literally a box ticking exercise?) for assurances given.... as for the first game of a new season accommodating so called VIPs was evidently a much higher priority than needs of Disabled OUFC supporters - SHAME ON THOSE RESPONSIBLE for an absolutely disgraceful decision
I smell a FOSB rat. Very strange timing to post this, a day before the Kidlington poll, and it's a first time poster, with the initials V(ictoria) C(ampbell). I wouldn't be surprised to see this post appear on FOSB propaganda claiming that the club can't be trusted to carry through on their promises. I think the moderators should consider deleting this post and take a close look at this poster.Content of post deleted by Colin B.
Oh Vernon, this was resolved and all assurances upheld. Not sure why you would pick up on something from last August.I understand your frustration and disappointment that assurances given to improve disabled parking arrangements at matches have not been upheld.
