Local councillors are community spirited people who do the job to make a difference to their local community and all credit to them.

However, when high value, complex proposals get put in from of them they can get intimidated and decline them without understanding them fully

It’s been the number 1 location from the beginning, and Niall McWilliams deserves a lot of credit, for getting things this far as well as the main players in the board room.

It’s the perfect location! Lots of pubs in Kidlington, very close to Oxford Parkway. A34, and M40, and A40 all close by. So the majority of infrastructure is already there, and provides easy access.

18,000 is a very good size stadium, and potential for expansion should it be needed.

It’s the most important thing this football club needs to progress. While we are still hamstrung by Kassam we won’t go on to where we want to be.

Positive news indeed.

Many thanks to Niall McWilliams for your tireless work and efforts with the local councils.

That's why it ends up going to OCC who look at the bigger picture. Just because you don't want it in your back yard isn't an excuse anymore, this will benefit the whole county not just football fans.
 
Fantastic! Moved from one ground with only a couple of local pubs, a couple of miles from the city centre to a new ground with no pubs within a 30 minute walk in another town.

Great to get rid of OGB but I can’t say I’m massively excited. I’m sure plenty will be and credit is due to the group that are the first ones in 20 years to move us from that albatross.

Completely agree. A hugely underestimated role in getting us this far and ensure the future of our club is protected.

I would have hoped they'd learnt from the problems at the Kassam and build drinking places/fanzones etc into the plan. After all doesn't Thohir have experience of this with DC United when he owned them?

Watch this video, this is what thohir built dc United and it has its own Heineken bar. I'm sure there will be lots of drinking spots around the stadium , after all pubs not in the ground won't gain us any revenue.
