Unlikely.  The Kassam is miles from the centre of Oxford - in a part of town that most students will never even have heard of, let alone have visited.

It's actually quite well done though. I thought someone would have just chucked a tin of paint at it but that looks like it took a while.

I agree nemo, clearly not mindless vandalism. There's been some thought gone into it.

I put 'Dear Oxford fans, how's the Pink Ox?' on twitter and got a reply from some random Oxford fan saying something about me being an inbred, us going down when we sell Austin & that Oxford will be a league ahead of us next season. It was quite an amusing conversation.

Apart from the part about you being an inbred, the rest has a worrying chance!

Before the Fulham Cup game last season. A Swindon scarf was put on the "Ox" outside of Oxford Station.
I would also like to go on record and say that it was not me either.

I do however confess to being on Oxford Station early that Saturday Morning though.

Being an Oxfordshire lad born and bred I seem to like "Pinky The Ox" and believe this should be the same colour as their next seasons away strip. Hopefully not witnessed at the CG next season.

Naah, it should be their home strip, otherwise it won't get used, as they rarely play in their away kit.

Not much chance of that, seeing as you're going down and we'll wave to you on our way up to Lge 1. My 8 yr old is getting very excited at the possibility of playing you next season if we end up in the same league. Keep up the current run please,  Don't disappoint a little 8 year old now. Wilson IN.  :D

Probably a bit of both! But at the moment its more likely that you'll drop and we'll stay where we are. I don't think we're good enough just yet. I also think you'll pull away from the danger, but if Austin goes you may struggle for another few weeks. Either way, I want us to play again, but in as high a league as possible.
What's the latest with Bobble Austin? I've not heard for a day or two.

Surely they would only play in their alternate strip if there was a colour clash with the home side......does this mean they are considering jettisoning their yellow and blue for a red based strip similar to ours?
Imitation, they say, is the sincerest form of flattery!

I'm not sure I can be bothered.  I'm fairly sure that the 10th anniversary of our last league meeting is fast approaching though.

Speaking to some of the Scum fans here, they've turned the pink ox into a commercial charity stunt.
They've had a breast cancer research stand there for their last game and are having it again on sat.

Fair play to them though.
