OXFORD United are holding an open training session next Monday as the Kassam Stadium's new pitch sees its first action.

It follows the success of a similar measure during the club's pre-season tour to Austria earlier this month.

Supporters will be able to watch the players in action and have their picture taken with the squad.

The session will be the first session on the relaid pitch at the Kassam Stadium, while it will also be used as a trial run for the new scanning system on the turnstiles.

U's boss Michael Appleton said: “It was great to see the fans and players mixing together out in Austria and we wanted to do something similar over here during the school holidays when kids can come along and get involved.

"It will be a full training session and a chance for the players to get used to the new pitch, but also a day where supporters can get an insight into training in the week before the first game of the season at home to Crawley (on August 8).”

Admission is free and the event starts at 10am.
