OXFORD United will showcase how football is for everyone at tomorrow’s match against Burton Albion.

The U’s are supporting the Her Game Too campaign, which aims to raise awareness of sexist abuse within the sport.

This involves working to stamp out abuse and harassment towards women attending matches, with United partnering up with Her Game Too to ensure the Kassam Stadium remains a safe environment for all fans.

U’s head coach Karl Robinson is passionate about making football inclusive and he believes the sport has made great strides in recent years.

“The amount of women going to men’s football is incredible,” he said.

“I have a 15-year-old daughter that loves football and can interact with young men about something she’s so passionate about.

“We had to move forward - gone are the days of the idiotic, sexist chants that put people off.

“We’re not saying they’re not there, so please don’t think this is a perfect world.

“But the game has moved forward so much and I’m immensely proud to be associated with Oxford United, who believe in women’s football and women coming to watch, regardless of who’s playing on the pitch.”

Members of United’s women’s team, who are top of FA Women’s National League Southern Premier, will be at the Burton match.

Robinson has been keen to strengthen their ties with the men’s teams, with Liam Gilbert’s squad using the training ground every Thursday.

Meanwhile, top-scorer Beth Lumsden was invited to join a session with male players last November, in an initiative that made national headlines.

“We interact with the women’s team on a daily basis,” Robinson said.

“They come in on a Thursday and me, Shorty (first-team coach Craig Short) and some of our staff take that session.

“Chris Neville (director of performance), who has worked with England, is part of their sports science team.

“We need to do so many other things to make it better.

“We’re still nowhere near the type of football club we want to be but we’re working towards that.

“It’s about us going to watch the team we all love in the same way.

“It’s so important we bring these people back into the stadiums feeling safe.”
