SUPPORTERS are being encouraged to go the extra mile and take part in a charity walk next weekend.

The Yellow Army have organised routes from Woodstock, Cholsey, Eynsham and Thame which will converge on the Kassam Stadium before Oxford United kick off against Mansfield Town.

Proceeds from the 12-mile walks will be split between the U’s Youth and Community Trust and Oxford Domestic Abuse Services.

Last season’s event raised thousands and the walkers were rewarded with a 3-0 win against Morecambe.

More than 30 have signed up so far – to join in email yellowarmybigwalk2@gmail.com.
