The fans will be out in force, with a blaze of Oxford Mail yellow placards, to cheer them on.

Thousands of others will be on tenterhooks at home, following every minute of their progress on radio and television.

All that remains is for the players to do their bit on the pitch and see Oxford United safely to victory.

A win over Leyton Orient at the Kassam Stadium tomorrow will mean that United keep their place in League Two.

A draw or defeat will mean that the club will lose its Football League place after 44 years and will play in the Conference next season.

No-one wants that to happen.

The players know that the whole city will be behind them in one of the most crucial games in the club's history.

The string of letters we publish today are proof of how passionate the fans are for their club, and how desperate they are to see United avoid relegation.

Boss Jim Smith said recently that the club would be bidding for promotion next year whether it was in League Two or the Conference.

We, and everyone else, hope it will be the former.

The best of luck, lads. Get stuck in. We know you can do it.
