Non-League Oxford City & University

Oxford Brookes University, sponsored the mascot at Wembley, in the Johnstone's paint Trophy.
I'm glad it's City ,& not OUFC.
I don't want us confused from a local team to a university team .
It's bad enough as it is , fans from all over the country thinking we're all students.
I had to tell a Bolton fan politely 😉 , after the game at Wembley. When he barged through me & my mates aggressively, shouting bunch of
Student W***ER's..⁸
 
Its alright every doing all these investigations but someone needs to think of a championship football club in the South East of England who need a shirt sponsor.

Monkey Labour is a new one one though, they really need to unionise.
Monkey labour??

That is a hell of a tie-up with the university, it’s hard not to feel they should have been with us, but I guess we’re after more money. We’ll have to get sponsored by BMW or Richard Branson

least he could have call you a mature student w****r.

Always confuses me that northern football fans don't understand how University works, I didn't go but its fairly obvious how it works.

There’s even a university of Bolton I think, it’s not as if there aren’t lots of universities in the north

I suppose its one better than when you tell people you are from Oxford and they just reply with "The Dictionary?", never really know what to say to that one.

Yes it's hard trying to explain to them ,
Town Vs Gown. Especially when you tell them about the battle of Swindlestock Tavern. They don't believe you..Screenshot_2024-07-16-09-40-57-45_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpgScreenshot_2024-07-16-09-41-24-99_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg
 
Double EU price, it says right here.
South Africa was not classed as a “Poor or undeveloped country “.
A bit more info here, which also mentions the not for profit element.

A string of revelations about vaccine prices has focused attention on a practice considered normal in the drug industry but often frowned on elsewhere: charging different prices to different customers for the same product.

South Africa’s government found itself on the defensive this week after a senior health official revealed that 1.5 million doses of the Oxford and AstraZeneca vaccine just purchased for use among health workers would cost $5.25 (£3.84; €4.32) a dose, more than twice what the European Union is paying at $2.15.

The EU figure is known because Belgium’s budget secretary inadvertently revealed the EU’s negotiated prices for every major vaccine on Twitter last month.1 The EU had undertaken to keep the prices confidential in return for discounts.

South Africa’s deputy director general of health, Anban Pillay, said his government had been told that $5.25 was the set price for a country classified by the World Bank as upper-middle income. “The explanation we were given for why other high-income countries have a lower price is that they have invested in the [research and development], hence the discount,” he added.

That principle has also been applied to the biggest players. The EU financially supported the development of the BioNTech and Pfizer vaccine and has obtained a lower price per dose ($14.70 than the US ($19.50). The Moderna vaccine’s development was subsidised by the US government, and it will cost the US about $15 a dose, while the EU is paying $18.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is much cheaper, although neither the UK nor the US can match the EU’s $2.15 deal: they are expecting to pay about $3 and $4, respectively, per dose.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, expected to announce phase III results imminently, is also much cheaper, costing the EU $8.50, with each dose going twice as far as the other brands, since it is a single shot vaccine.

AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson have committed to not making a profit from the pandemic, while Moderna and Pfizer did not. AstraZeneca reserved the right, however, to declare the pandemic phase over and take profits from later vaccine sales.
 
I always wondered why Tiger didnt do more with the Uni, he wanted OUFC to be a global brand, you cannot get more global than Oxford University.
 
I wouldn't want to be associated with Rhodes & blood money. The biggest gripe to this day between the locals , is the elitism of the university. What university want's university gets.what locals want locals don't get.. or taken away ....
 
Its Santander now isn't it?
The site is, there is an engraved block on the side commemorating it.

Something when we have to go back to 1355 for beefs.

Next thing we'll have an issue with the prostitutes that used to frequent Grope C**t Lane (now Magpie Lane) back then.

I'm sure the 16000+ people employed (largest employer in Oxfordshire) are less bothered.
 
Not too sure about the shirt, but it’s unique and I’ve seen a lot worse, looks like a good tie up for both Ox City and the University.

We’ll wait and see who our sponsors are, but I’d much rather have the University on our shirts than a betting or vaping company. Hopefully a brand or company that we’re proud to be associated with.

I think we would rather have £500K (or whatever) though.
 
I think the new shirt looks absolutely ghastly.
 
Bit ironic that Brasenose college kicked City out of the White House ground to build houses, now they want to cosy up

Until recently the University has despised professional sport, favouring amateurs like Bannister and Chataway. They had to change to keep up with Olympians and other sports becoming full time with sponsorship deals and endorsements.

Even more Ironic that that is the College the new kit photo shoot took place in.
 
If that is the standard of the design for the 'bespoke' shirts, please can we have one off the peg!
That's a terrible shirt. Not really 'the Hoops' any more. I saw they were wearing their away kit for the preseason friendlies they've had so far.
 
It could be argued that the University are indirectly responsible for the industrialisation of Swindon by blocking the GWR from setting up their engineering works in Oxford in the 1800s. They chose a small Wiltshire market town on the Bristol main line instead.

There are somethings you can never forgive.
