To be fair to him he has a yellow and blue flag in his profile
Too early for proof of funding when the final cost of the stadium isn't known?It helped clarify things for me.
The other interesting parts to note are the 3 "Restricted enclosure's" given at the end of the document. All, apparently, relate to "financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)" - No idea what that may include or, who may be affected but we can speculate!
Reasons restricted -

Sounds like the Jackie Weaver viral video!Hahahaha.
A Council I worked for the Council Chamber was known as 'The Playground' due to the level of discourse on occasions.
Many Councillors (regardless of their politics) were decent and professional. But there were a plenty who weren't.
Sounds like the Jackie Weaver viral video!
I'm sure that isn't a common example of Parish Councils!
I am very sorry but,democratically elected or not,that Middleton fella has got the sort of smug looking boat race that I just wanna slap.Sounds like he would make an excellent cabinet minister or even a candidate to replace Boris - he seems to have the right credentials......
you may have to wait in line, behind 'Jezza' ( Clarkson), after Councillor Middleton 'targeted' him for a bout of typical 'Middletonesque goading after the OCC vote re vegan-only food at County Council meetings in futureI am very sorry but,democratically elected or not,that Middleton fella has got the sort of smug looking boat race that I just wanna slap.

This is exactly the sort of comment that can be used against us, so please everyone we might not like what people say but let’s be respectfulI am very sorry but,democratically elected or not,that Middleton fella has got the sort of smug looking boat race that I just wanna slap.
Oxford Parkway will also be connected to EWR which is due to enter service 2023/2024 therfore connecting Bletchley and MK in phase 1 with Bedford and Cambridge breing added. It is also planned that Aylesbury will be connected at somepoint. SB is the only location that would provide sufficient public transport access to any new stadium.It's not the public funds that is the really issue.
The train station near to Stratford Break is a main line.
Trains go from London, Wycombe, Oxford Station (8 minutes), Didcot ( 1 change circa 45 minutes) and a host if different places.
There may be the Cowley line to the science park, but whether i t will run trains just alternate Saturdays just for football fans? Even if it did the service would be limited.
Cllr Middleton really hasn't looked at this in any detail.
I feel that's the problem, their beliefs, and Cllr Middleton's especially are so deep rooted there's no way he'd go for anything being built on greenbelt land. Even if the stadium design is the most sympathetically designed stadium using the world's most advanced renewable energy systems and built entirely out of sustainable materials he and the parish councils will never allow it in their back yard.Elected officials showing bias towards their party or beliefs? Who'd have guessed!!!
Mr Middleton can bring forward whatever concerns or objections he likes without a single shread of evidence to support them. Those representing the club or the planning process will then have the opportunity to counter these concerns.
Nothing that has yet been presented by any of those objecting that is insurmountable, and the vast majority is easily dismissed with the FAQ's that are in the public domain.
Sorry guys,just saying what most other people think,but point taken,in future I will think it and keep it to myself.This is exactly the sort of comment that can be used against us, so please everyone we might not like what people say but let’s be respectful

As the landowners of Stratfield Brake, can OCC cancel the leases without their approval? If not I fear for this project.
The reason Cllr Middleton doesn't like Cherwell DC is that it's a Conservative council who have approved greenbelt developments previously which is why he said they shouldn't be involved in the planning decision-making process if it gets that far.
Let's hope I'm wrong.Will you give the negativity a rest ffs. If all your points were true nothing would ever get built anywhere as it would always be in someone's back yard! This is clearly not true so let the club deal with the planning process and see where we end up.
Not sure what you mean by that? The Cellar wasn't to do with the university, I don't think.
The old Oxford City ground was though! Brasenose college.
Cellar was the church not college (St Michael’s and All Saints’ Charities were the landlord). Wheatsheaf was private developer. Jericho Tavern was brewery.
I don't think the university/colleges have had input into venues closing that I can think of, though there may be some.
I agree with you but it does give you an indication of the mindset we're up against when he referred to those FAQs as "rather fanciful".Nothing that has yet been presented by any of those objecting that is insurmountable, and the vast majority is easily dismissed with the FAQ's that are in the public domain.
Someone above has explained that the university wasn’t involved with the Cellar and Wheatsheaf.Yes it was. And the Sheaf.
