TODAY is the first chance for Oxford United supporters to buy a special anniversary magazine documenting the history of the club.
The Oxford Mail’s 124-page publication will be on sale from various locations outside the Kassam Stadium ahead of this afternoon’s match against Shrewsbury Town.
Charting the highs and lows of the club since its inception in 1893, there are features on the key matches, promotions, managers and the legendary players, as well as a special section on sites considered for a new stadium throughout the years – something sure to resonate with supporters to this day.
There is also an enthralling interview with U’s legend Ron Atkinson, who picks his all-time greatest Oxford United XI – although his choices are sure to provoke much debate among fans.
The magazine costs £5, of which £1 from each sale goes to the club’s academy.
As well as being available from the ground today, it will then go on sale from Monday in both United’s club shops and the Oxford Mail offices on Osney Mead.
Hundreds of fans will already have received their copy having pre-ordered, and it is still possible to get the magazine this way, by either going to oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/oxfordunited/oxfordunited125
