General New Stadium Plans - Stratfield Brake

[Essexyellows]

I hope the club allow us to go and pick a seat before purchasing a season ticket rather then trying to do it on a computer. Also stadium tours would be good even if it cost.

As was done when we moved to the Kassam.

George Lawrence will be gutted if that happens, if anyone should have a pitch run-off area named after them, it is the legendry Lawrence.

I wasn't a die hard supporter then, only started going regularly with school mates when I was 14 in 2002, caught the bug and the rest is history.

This will be a controversial question but will anyone feel abit sad that we will be leaving the kassam.now before anybody says the usual please remember that for alot if our fans the kassam has been the only home they've known for oufc .
I will personally feel abit sad because weve had alot of good times at the kassam eg
Newcastle x2
Swindon every time they've played there except last season
Wycombe promotion to league one
Swansea fa cup
Rushden 2010
I know the place is a s**t hole I know to alot of people it's never felt like home but it's been our home kind of

No. Never felt like home to me.

Yep. Plus, after having a Manor Ground season ticket for six years from 1995, I missed a lot of the shitter years at the Kassam as I didn’t start watching Oxford again until 2009.

It has been a general upward trajectory since then with lots of good memories.

The two big issues with the Kassam for me are that a) it’s incomplete and b) there’s little else to do there.

No!

I'll dance a jig of joy the day we leave followed by another when the bulldozers move in! I still miss the Manor to this day, but I'll never miss that place, or the constant P**s taking from other fans about it. It's an embarrassment of a place, from its name, to its design, to its place in some of the worst moments of our history.

Never ever had that tingle down my spine that I got walking into the London Road under the old arch.
Had exiting games at Grenoble Road and loved beating the scum there but the stadium just didn’t do it.
Now if we could incorporate some walkway into the new stadium that really would be something

I’m still waiting for the e-mail asking me to select my season ticket seat

As long as it isn’t my seat you choose

Hmm. Let me think. 1. Dreadful location, with hopeless transport links. 2. Nothing to do before/after a game. 3. Three sides. 4. Next to a sewage farm. 4. Appalling (and I mean appalling) catering. 5. Disgusting toilets. 6. Horrible, soulless concrete stands miles from the pitch.... I have always hated the ground and have increasingly gone to more away games than home whenever I am in the UK (I get to about 8-10 games a season). In my opinion, everything about the stadium from day one was a disgrace, and the day we leave can't come soon enough. So, that's a no from me!

 

[oufc1991]

As I say a controversial question and i respect everyone's opinion I remember the manor kind of but most of my memories supporting Oxford come from the kassam

I will miss how easy it is to drive to my uncles in Littlemore leave the car there and walk under the railway bridge and enter through the back of the ozone to the stadium and it doesn't cost me anything except fuel, another plus is I can skip out the back way to abingdon on the way home through Nuneham Courtenay, Culham and back through the front door at 5.20 ish on a sat and before 10pm midweek, Dont think I will miss the stadium one bit mind. As long as the new stadium and complex has more to offer I don't mind the extra inconvenience and cost to get to the stadium that this move will bring.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Funnily enough while I am over the moon and jumping for joy I said how exciting to my 8 yo and he said 'I like the Kassam hope we don't move ' !!!
Think the Hollywood bowl might be an influence but I'm pretty certain he will come round

Quite simply, no. The place has been a millstone around our necks for twenty years.

 

[Canterburyexile]

There’s nothing about the Kassam ‘stadium’ that I will miss. It’s a constant physical reminder of that c**t Firoz and how, despite the collapse of Maxwell, we were dry boned yet again by someone that didn’t give a s**t about us.

 

[Banbury2018]

No. Never felt like home to me.

To me it is where we play our home matches whereas the Manor felt like home and hopefully Stratfield Brake will feel the same.
