I decided many years ago there was no point in getting overly irritated and/or surprised at what Kassam does. As soon as you realise that: a) he has zero interest in football, b) he has made a lot of money from (typically) running low end hotels, and, c) he couldn't give a flying **** what any of us think, then it all falls into place! The day we get out of that disgraceful 'stadium' can't come too soon
Just on stadium rent, I was listening to the price of football podcast and Sheffield wednesday pay £2.8m of rent a year on their stadium. So don’t know how long that can be sustainable for, especially in league 1. As we know not owning the stadium and paying rent a massive issue.
I can’t wait to see what the ground looks like when we move to Stratfield Brake.
I won’t have the same empathy as I did towards the Manor. Having come from Headington I still have such fond memories of going there when the club were playing in the upper tiers and the marvellous games particularly on our cup runs
