    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    I'm not dispirited nor do I worry what they think. They are largely small-minded, bigoted and often-times deeply unpleasant. From a societal point of view it's a bit worrying how many people like this actually exist and how much they are pandered to. That being said given a lot of the...

    Current Player #23 Josh Murphy

    The recent press coverage tells you all that you need to know. I hope you/I am wrong, though I think the writing is on the wall. On the plus side, his wages ought to be able to attract a very good replacement (assuming we are in League One). The Championship is a different beast altogether.

    End of iFollow

    To be fair, all fixtures will still be available to watch (unless I have read incorrectly). A VPN will resolve that for you!

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    The message has got through to some. About a year ago I overheard one of the guys in my business discussing the proposed stadium with a client. I chimed in when both with some authority said that they were against the stadium due to football violence (they wouldn't take their kids nor could...

    I've just got round to doing mine. I commend anyone that has the time to 'dot count'... It's the least user-friendly platform imaginable!

    General Club Finances 2023

    Would I not be right to suggest that we have been submitting abridged accounts for some years, taking a similar view of other clubs? I'm not defending it, I think it leaves much to interpretation yet it seems to be increasingly commonplace now. Barclays have leant the club some money which is...

    The thing which I'm surprised that 'FoSB' haven't identified yet is the significant amount of barbed wire behind the stand which can be seen at the bottom of the below visual. There's so much of the stuff, it almost dwarfs the car park and stand alone. I do hope the club address this before...

    General Fans Forum - Kassam Stadium - 7th March @ 6.30pm

    I have to say I was disappointed. In my view they can consider themselves fortunate not to have received more difficult questions (they didn’t get round to mine). A few takeaways; - Fundamentally they’re utterly convinced that the job they are doing is super. Any narrative that doesn’t fit...

    Thanks Paul. Conspiracy theorising, over!

    General Fans Forum - Kassam Stadium - 7th March @ 6.30pm

    Good spot. I have no idea what they are expecting to do with that information, unless they plan on responding to any negativity by embracing their inner Karl Oyston and target specific supporters who dare question them? I remember the forum with Firoz Kassam years ago being bloody awful. In...

    Ex Player Obscure OUFC XI

    Close! It was a home game I think. We were so desperate then, he came on wearing a red training jumper. From memory they simply taped on a number one on the back. Live on Sky too. A very different time…

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Believe it or not, the club was actually profitable (the food sales alone made the club profitable). The ancillary activities if managed even slightly professionally would have made them able to progress to the Southern Leagues. They were just horribly mismanaged and on multiple occasions...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    It's all a bit of a joke. I made enquiries about the cost to purchase the ground a little while ago... They were unsaveable and had been a bit of a joke for years. They're even more of a joke now!

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    You can, though it would be a bit of a PR disaster. It's hardly a grand opening, is it? During the design and early construction of Wimbledon's new ground, they ran into financial trouble financing the ground. One of the options was to continue with scaling back the design and leaving much of...

    Stuart Gray

    I didn't know he played his dad in the film! That's a great little fact. Oddly I actually recall him quite well (I have a strong memory of that specific time given how bonkers the club was at that stage). Rushden fans at the time described him as a player that would opt to play backwards far...
