This is from a friend of mine’s daughter. I think it is excellent

Dear County Council Cabinet.
I am writing to ask that you make a positive decision
about leasing Oxford United Football Club the land at
either Stratfield Brake or the Triangle to build a new
stadium.
1 am 13 years old and have supported Oxford United
since my Dad took me to my first game when I was 6
years old and 'Father Christmas' bought me my first
yellows shirt!
As a season ticket holder and a Girls RTC player,
football means everything to me; Oxford Utd means
everything to me! However, it's not just about the
football that plays out on the pitch. Football brings
people together from all over the community - men,
women, young, elderly, rich, poor - it has no
boundaries. Football is so much more than a game, it
has the ability to bring people joy, comfort in the
darkest of days, release from work/school pressures,
sense of belonging, friendship and hope.
As a young female growing up in Oxfordshire, it would
bring opportunities to not only myself but future
generations. At a time where we're just starting to
break down barriers of stereotypes in football, your
decision could impact hugely on the positive future of
OUWFC along with OUFC and community clubs.
Please don't underestimate how much your decision
will impact the footballing and non-footballing
community. A delay in your decision puts the future of
our club at risk!
Let's ensure football remains at the heart of the
community where it belongs……pumping yellow blood
throughout Oxfordshire!

This is fabulous from 13 year old Eve, great that the young and old have come together as one
Have known Eves family for years absolute mad Yellows fans except her Dad who supports the Gills but fair play to him for bringing up his family correctly
