Oxford United Football Club is an English football team currently playing in the fifth tier of English football for the 2007–08 season. The club is owned by chairman Nick Merry and managed by Darren Patterson. Its home ground is the Kassam Stadium in Oxford with a capacity of 12,500. The club moved to the stadium in 2001 after leaving the Manor Ground, which was its home for 76 years.
Oxford United joined the Football League in 1962 after winning the Southern Premier League, reaching the Second Division in 1968. After relegation in 1976, between 1984 and 1986 the club earned successive promotions into the First Division, and also won the League Cup. Oxford were unable to enter the 1987 Uefa Cup because of the UEFA ban on English clubs in European competitions. Relegation from the top flight in 1988 began an 18-year decline which saw the club relegated to the Conference in 2006. It is the first team in the history of English football to have won a major trophy and to be relegated from the football league.
The crest reflects the name and history of the city. Originally, Oxford was a market town, situated near to a ford on the River Isis which was used by cattle. The club crest thus depicts an ox above a representation of a ford. The shape and design of the crest has changed numerous times since it was first produced. When playing as Headington and during the early years of Oxford United, the crest included a full ox crossing the ford, as well as the initials H.U.F.C. (pre-1962) or the name Oxford United (post name-change).
Between 1972 and 1979, the crest became circular, showing just the ox's head on a yellow and black background. The words 'Oxford United Football Club' were placed around the ox. For the next 17 years, the crest was simply the ox's head coloured blue. In 1996, the crest had a shield shape and contained the ox's head over the ford, on a yellow background. This version was retained until the move to the Kassam Stadium in 2001, when club steward Rob Alderman designed the current version. It has a similar design to the preceding crest, but the ox and ford are contained in a circle with a yellow background, with the remainder of the crest being coloured blue. The club name also returns to the crest.
