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..View attachment 21358View attachment 21359

Its Santander now isn't it?

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.

Yes , there's a plaque engraved on the wall..

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 ....

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 have a Santander account so every now and then I go in there and punch somebody who's wearing corduroy, smoking a spliff, or has floppy hair.

It's a small thing, but it's important to preserve traditions.

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.

Hopefully the two are not necessarily exclusive and there is a brand or company out there who we are proud to be associated with.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for that if you have high standards, the University is not innocent either.

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.
