Oxford United Supporters Panel

OUSP

The Oxford United Supporters’ Panel exists to ensure regular structured dialogue between Oxford United Football Club and its fanbase to improve both the club and supporters’ experience.

The Panel is formed from representatives of independent supporters’ groups of Oxford
United and elected individual supporters in order to facilitate dialogue between the club and its supporters on matters of mutual interest.

The Panel is a consultative body and as such cannot take decisions which are binding on the club.

Where appropriate a poll of the panel’s views may be taken to inform debate and
assist the club in understanding supporter views.

The Panel consists of up to nine representatives, one of whom is nominated by the OxVox committee, and up to eight nominated by supporters.

The panel can be contacted via:

Paul works to get fully inclusive facilities for all disabled supporters.

Ohad Green:

Oxford United has became an integral part of Ohad's life since he arrived in Oxford from abroad sevens years ago. He fell in love with the club and its history. 

As foreigners, he feels that Oxford United is more than a football club. It is something that connects his family to the city, and serves as a constant reason to remain in Oxford and in this country. From his personal experience, he hopes to represent this growing group of new supporters. 

Ohad brings experience in user engagement and community involvement. He often attends matches with his daughter, and last season, they graduated from the North Stand to the East.
