The Club's Planning Consultants have just produced (at huge expense) a check list for possible new stadium sites:
1. Perimeter City location.
2. Scope for inclusion of hotel, cinema and bowling alley .
3. Ideally adjacent to new housing development that (might) generate more fans who could walk to the ground.
4. A nearby quaint old building currently derelict that could be refurbished to be a supporters home pub.

Anybody who knows of such a site should contact OUFC asap..

I'll ask the question the other way. Is there any reason why this won't happen?

Because the potential new owners can find time to get round to OUFC? They hardly seem to be chomping at the bit to complete and get started. Perhaps it's a sign as to where we are on their list of priorities?

Many a true word spoken in jest...

Or maybe it's a sign that they're very happy with the way everything is going through and happy to wait for the efl to do their thing.

Not in this case.

I see there is a new meejah phrase getting lots of airtime, particularly oop norf in the hometown of well known mobile phone company ‘Hah-way’

The phrase is “sport washing”

Should we be worried or is it just that the new ground (J9 M40) will have a large ‘drive in’ laundrette attached?

asking for a friend…..

I wouldn’t have thought that, irrespective of their brown envelopes being bigger.

The documentation may have been with the FA for over a year but with all the shenanigans that were with the Saudi led take over no wonder it took a long time but according to the match commentators yesterday the deal was done very quickly.
I wonder how long it will be before it transpires that they are led by the Saudi state?
Also with amnesty international saying how they with their human rights records got in maybe t was down to their deep pockets.
It does make you wonder.

It is the Premier League or the EFL that do the checks bot the FA

How on earth do you know that?
Or is that just total speculation ?

Well the EPL are a law unto themselves and the EFL aren’t fit for purpose.

Karl Robinson was in the Red Lion, Old Marston after the ML memorial game telling all and sundrie that we will not be at the Kassam in 2 years time.

Just need that bloody announcement now, but 2 years bloody hell they will be building fast just hope it passes the health and safety but then again they could be talking to the Qatari’s about how they built all their World Cup stadiums so quick

From a man who has said ‘getting our business done early’ so often it’s basically his catchphrase, that’s a confident boast.

You can’t build a stadium, even if you have cleared every permission and obstacle, in two years unless you have some more of modular assembly style stadium planned surely? There’s always some level of hold up even when ground has been broken.

Not trying to question you @ECYellow but we’re you there or is that third party info.

 

[Yellowinthesticks]

Well if it's true, I refer to my previous post...Karl doesn't know how to keep it zipped. If he did say that then he's out of order really, as that sounds an unrealistic timeline. Unless 'not at the Kassam in 2 years' means ground share...

 

[Tomox]

2 years? Surely that's a groundshare...? How long does it take to build a new stadium?

 

[oufc1991]

Do we think it would be realistic to leave the kassam and ground share with another team who would that other team be. If we think attendances are bad at the moment once we leave the kassam to ground share they will be less

 

[yellowbow]

Is anyone actually taking any notice of what he says??!

Blimey, we must all know him by now...
