New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

When you think about it, Oxfordshire County Council and Cherwell District Council should biting the hand off OUFC and their owners/backers. This an amazing once in a life time opportunity to have a world class sport and leisure facility in the county.

Surely if the councillors look at it objectively, they will realise and understand the county is incredibly fortunate for this opportunity to be happening now and on their watch.

Clearly everything regarding the planning process has to be analysed and taken time over, but I can’t believe Oxfordshire will ever again be given something this good which ticks so many green and environmental issues in a positive way.
 
There has been much to criticise some of the stadium communication over recent months, but the new team are very good at getting the stadium back in to news. It's important that we do our bit by share these positive stories through social media ourselves to help get this information out as wide as possible.

Absolutely this but I will always be left with the feeling that it would have been even greater if it was the original plan at SB. Huge, huge error by a few locals

"All electric"................ what at the Kassam ISN`T electric? The only thing I can think of is the heating for the conference centre & boxes?

Aside from that - liking the drip feed of "Its Green" news to pee in the likes of Middletons net zero produced cornflakes.

This is all very exciting news but stuff we have heard most of it before in various different briefings. Green benefits aside, I would like to know a little more about how much this will save the club in terms of running costs in the future. For example, using rain water to water the pitch instead of metered water from Thames Water must be a fairly substantial saving for starters.

Yes there will always be a feeling of what might have been, the local residents and beyond need to know and be frequently reminded who put their nimbyism before the greater community good.

However we have to move on. The difference between what we as supporters have to currently put up at the unfinished, unloved, poorly maintained Kassam Stadium compared to the amazing new stadium, leisure facilities, transport links, social hub and impressive environmental green credentials at the Triangle, it will be like chalk and cheese.

"The solar panels would generate enough energy to boil around 3 million 3-litre kettles per year." Wow! That's an awful lot of tea, coffee and Bovril they are planning to sell!
