Thank you for all the incredible contributions. I've barely slept, but thanks to the support shown from fans and the time given up by some really good people, Friday night will go ahead. Mark, I appreciate your words. I will never forget the time (if you are the MarkG I think you are) I was...

The Yellow Army is led by me. Oxford United, OxVox, OUSP, local media and fans know me. I am solely responsible for anything financial, and would be held to account by our football club and fans groups if I did anything wrong. I am not the only fan involved in the Yellow Army setup. I only...

There will be a better way for fans to donate in the summer. This has all happened quite quickly and with work, it's difficult to get everything done. If you don't have PayPal, send me a PM to arrange a bank transfer. (All transactions and spend will be shared with OUSP)

An absolute huge game on Friday coming up. We need the passion and energy we saw against Peterborough on Saturday, at Grenoble Road to help the team against Stevenage. There will be a display, organised and put together through the Yellow Army. It will hopefully be a bigger version of what we...

Quick update. A busy few days. The Oxford Fanatics are no more. In the summer I will work with OUSP to communicate everything relating to previous fan donations. There will be a display on Friday night, organised and put together through the Yellow Army. It will hopefully be a bigger version...

There were also 6 or 7 big wavers as part of it. We have researched other groups and have exchanged emails, spoken to the fans at our club, including the leader of our Ultras group, and would like to take all of that and do something that brings colour, but also embraces the unique atmosphere...

With a limited budget, we ordered what we could in time. We would have liked to have had more, but that could happen if we make the play offs. 800 balloons, 2kg of confetti and around 150 streamers were part of the display on Saturday.

I'm sure you can appreciate, with the scrutiny around details being 100% accurate, plus a million things going on personally and football related, I want this to be verified and independently checked by OUSP before I put anything out. It's been a busy few weeks, and potentially about to get even...

In the build up to Saturday, £336.70 was donated. £228.99 was spent on the display. £107.71 remains. Some of the lads involved paid around £125 of their own money towards it, which is separate from the money donated above. Total cost of Saturdays display, around £350.

It's also worth saying, I advised the group to put a tweet out acknowledging the past, even though it wasn't down to them. This is all on me, not the group of young lads now trying to take things forward. I will remain in an advisory role throughout next season at least to help everything be...

I completely understand the confusion and lack of trust. Id like to try and address a few things to hopefully help us all move on. The Oxford Fanatics were created to fill the gap by the Oxford Ultras ending a few years of incredible influence on the atmosphere and colour they brought. The...

There is going to be a drive to get more flags in and around the stadium on match days. United Flag designs don't appear to make any flags, they just order the flags from flag making companies and then make profit for themselves. Some fans I have spoken to weren't aware of this. In the coming...

If Crewe had no further positive tests, then I don't understand why the game had to be called off yesterday. If as it appears PHE have had an issue with a cluster of infections, then it would make sense. But wouldn't the Wigan team have to self isolate? Some clarification from the EFL would...

I think the resentment towards Crewe stems from the first game, where they turned up at our ground without informing anyone. When one of your staff then told one of ours in a conversation rather than officially declaring it and then the Crewe management and directors couldn't see the big deal...

I understand the logic, but living in a different household and not having direct contact with the person, as well as a negative test and no symptoms, I am not sure why I am not allowed to leave my house. If I'd had direct contact or my children who I haven't seen for over a week had symptoms I...
