It's all still a bit of a shock and quite gutting, Justin has worked wonders for the club in not only his time as first team manager but also his contribution as assistant to Andy Lyne and as a player, and achieved promotion in his first full season in charge, there've been times when supporters haven't agreed with the management but time and time again they've shown why they are in that position by getting the results.
As one door closes another opens and we must now get fully behind Fordy,Dougie and all the players to get our season up and running, dont forget we lost our opening two games last season, and look where we finished.
Thank you Justin, you've written yourself into a successful chapter in the Oxford City history books and will not be forgotten for the achievements made at the club under your guidance.
