It has to be said that's a bit pathetic....they did have one for finishing 3rd in the Conference mind, so I suppose it's consistent. |

Don't forget they have their Runners-up medals for the JPT too. |

Haha fucking hell. I'm sad enough to collect mementos from big football occasions (just in case I ever want to do a Brind) so I have a few things, like a programme from '69, tickets from Wembley POs, but if I was an Oxford fan I probably wouldn't be able to leave my house. it'd be piled to the ceiling with "NOT WINNING THE TITLE" t shirts and half and half scarves from "that time we played Burnley".
What a tragic little club.

The problem is, over the last few years, the powers that be have started to give out trophies/medals for getting promotion.
Back in the 80's, you won promotion...and that was it. Then the play-offs arrived, and until the mid 90's there was a trophy but no medals, then they started to issue winner medals. Then someone realized that the Champions and play-off winners got a trophy/medals...and runners-up team didn't, who also got promoted...so they started to receive something as well.

I don't see the problem myself.. I'm sure Swindon Town would have a promotion parade if we went up in 2nd place..
I'm no lover of Oxford, but I just don't see what the issue is, personally.

I'd have rolled my eyes over this regardless of club because there's really no need but they'll be treating this like a fan recruitment drive or something like that. We didn't have one for finishing third which, in L2 terms, is the same thing. We didn't even have one when we won L2, opting for The Lightning Seeds and Toploader instead. Also, I like the little feud they've started with Northampton. |
