Doubt it mate, they will be spending it all on cheese, crackers & a bottle or two of wine. I would be interested to know where that money has been spent that they have on their website, did they go down the correct routes? Is it properly registered. Zero transparency from them & maximum transparency from our football club. They have messed up massively in how they have gone about things. I read somewhere that TVP are investigating their charity organisation & whether it’s legitimate. Think it is on Twitter, oh how I hope they haven’t done something correct and proper.I trust that FOSB are now going to return all the money that was donated to stop the development at SB.
Salters steamers would need to invest in around ten more boats, pre match drinks at the Head of the River and then leisurely trip to PM,sortedDon't see why they can't simply build on Port Meadow. Good rail, road, bus, canal AND river links! Masses of space for development and the pitch is already in place. May need to sort drainage out. Lovely views of the city.
I’m beginning to see a business opportunity. Old Lucy Electric site in Jericho has very large underground car park (worked there for many many years. Across the road is the Victoria, handy for craft beers & Ciders. Walk down to canal rent a canoe the paddle your way kidlington
Very well saidOn a personal level it really annoys me that a few people are against this stadium and could have a say in whether it goes ahead because of their own interests.
Back in 1963 I lived with my parents in New Street St Ebbes a few houses down from the Duke of York. Our family like hundreds of others were evicted and had their houses compulsory purchased.
This was to make way for the monstrosity that was the original Westgate.
We were moved to Cowley but a lot of my friends went to BB Leys,Rose Hill,Wood Farm etc, nobody had a say and the people that were left had an awful construction to look at.My grandparents were moved to the maisonettes that are still there
People were sad ,my mother never really recovered from this and was depressed for a number of years and I’m sure lots of other people were affected in the same way. As kids you get on with it and I made new friends and they are still my friends to this day.
Compare this with a new stadium being built on a piece of wasteland where nobody is being evicted other than a fencing company.
I really think some people should have a good look at themselves and ask in the scheme of things is this going to turn my life upside down
I think not
I do love a Heineken or Birra Moretti dry ice cocktail.A few dry ice cocktails up Victors always gets me fired up pre-match too.
Does anyone know why Oxford city council are so quiet on the whole stadium matter?
That's the £29.1M questionDoes anyone know why Oxford city council are so quiet on the whole stadium matter?
Surely the barge would be pulled by two shire horses.....Is there a canal boat service from Jericho to Kidlington. Electric boat of course.
they should donate it to cash strapped KPC ( council tax rise of 4.99% incoming) , to go towards funding the facilities for the various sports clubs based at SB sports ground - who will no longer be getting the improved facilities, scuppered by FoSB , KDW and KPC colluding to stop progressI trust that FOSB are now going to return all the money that was donated to stop the development at SB.
Username checks outGot to admit it’s a genuine concern.
The hundreds of 1980s football hooligans (and their f*****g offspring!) descending on gentrified Jericho and its delightful marina.
Just think of the mayhem they’ll cause on the canal network north of Kidlington.
Thrupp, Shipton on Cherwell, Lower Heyford, et al will all become no go hellholes on matchdays.
It’s a desperate situation we find ourselves in.
£2 in the pot. Inflation.Tim Martin has just been on the blower, he is massively excited about buying the building Oxford University Press are in and turning it into the worlds biggest Weatherspoons, rumours Hungry Horse are looking at the new Blavatnik building, could have even bigger big plate specials in a place that big. With the new Kebab vans and fried chicken shops going to be opening up and down Walton Street the new ground is really bringing some positive gains to a pretty run down area, just need someone to turn the Jericho Tavern into a pound in the pint glass strip pub and we will have helped to turn that slum into a place people can be proud to call home.
Yeah it will be good for the town, but if it makes it harder for me to get into Shakil's on a Saturday I may have to come across all NIMBY about it .Plenty of pubs and restaurants in Bicester the fans can stop at before getting the train from Bicester Village to Oxford parkway. Great business for Bicester.
