The 12th Man Fund, which is run by U’s fans, agreed to provide financial support to United for Rob Hall’s second month on loan.

And now they hope the launch of their newly-designed badges – displayed here by Hall – which cost £2 each and are available at home games – will support more signings.

They will be available at the Kassam Stadium, around the ground and at the Priory pub before today’s match against Port Vale.
