Have you asked if you can do the same good work but under OxVox yet?

Seems incredibly simple - why not?
If OUSP don`t have enough volunteers to be democratic and OxVox don`t have enough folk to do the "fan experience" stuff what is stopping us having one organisation, one voice, one democracy?
I may have mentioned this before?
Have you mentioned this to OxVox?

@OUSP @Scotchegg I just want to re-iterate, and I think I speak for everyone when I say this, everyone advocating for OUSP to disappear don't do it because we don't appreciate your efforts, quite the opposite, we just think it weakens the voice of the supporters by diluting OxVox, and OxVox is more important than ever when you look at the way senior management are treating supporters as well as the obvious stadium issues.
I'd hope that if it did happen, which I hope it does, all current OUSP volunteers would continue to offer their time to an equivalent panel underneath OxVox
Can either one of you confirm how it would/could be disbanded? Would the club need to be involved?
So I think talk of disbanding is somewhat premature and not necessarily representative of the entire supporters group.
Equally, it is worth remembering that the introduction of OUSP was done with the support of OxVox, and a representative of OxVox attends every meeting. I am not aware of OxVox raising any concerns about OUSP diluting their work, in fact, there are times when the two groups have actively worked together to achieve more than could have been achieved separately. You may not agree, and that's fine. All views are important.
But I will not be tending my resignation from OUSP and will not be looking at disbanding it.
Nobody mentioned disbanding. The proposal is to move OUSP under OxVox control so it is independent and represents the supporters' interests robustly in it's field of expertise.

It's literally in the post I responded to. OxVox represent their members. OUSP represent all supporters regardless of membership. So arguably the suggestions being made would be less representative then we currently have.Nobody mentioned disbanding.
