I FELT I needed to email you just to say how impressed a lot of us Barnsley supporters were with Michael Appleton's team.

To say we are a division above, there was nothing in the game.

The Oxford United team gave everything and were a threat throughout the match.

The first half was definitely Oxford's. Your supporters should be really proud of you team, we were all saying after the game that we want Oxford to get automatic promotion.

And your supporters on the whole were really friendly. (You always get some on both sides that misbehave!) But in general they were brilliant. 

I was looking over the wall at all the supporters and an Oxford supporter was a few yards away.

He came over asked if I wanted a photo and after he took it he said: "I hope it's a good game today, good luck."

I replied: "the same to you mate".

Isn't this what football should be about? It was a great family day out for both sides, I took my grandson.

Thank you Oxford United and your supporters.
