I always thought the OUSP was effectively a go between group of supporters to put pressure on the club for issues that would normally be sorted by an SLO.
However our SLO seems to be trying to do a bigger role as their day job, with the SLO factor being an occasional thing. So actually having the OUSP to raise things like stadium access and cleanliness, ticketing problems, away match information,
Oxvox for me have always been the longer term strategy, questioning and putting the pressure on the club for the big issues e.g. ownership, finances, stadium, masterplan etc. If there was a FOUL type movement needed in the future, I would expect Oxvox to be leading on that.
The two can exist and focus on different things, with the stadium piece likely to step-up in the coming months, do we really want Oxvox spending their time talking about why the pigeon sh!t hasn't been cleaned off Row X in the Oxford Mail Stand or putting pressure on the club for updates, news and plans.
If OxVox had more willing volunteers they could do both as per their mission statement...............
As for the SLO he can happily do bigger stuff as he has a filter between him and us plebs.
