Nothing like it used to be. I remember listening to Radio Oxford when it was a station full of proper broadcasters. Mark Kasprowicz, David Freeman, Bill Heine, Jon Briggs and even Bob Harris. I gave up completely when David Prever moved on. It was proper local news, not this amateurish...

I'm really, really disappointed with the Labour chap, who says he is a fan. When asked why can't we just stay at the Kassam, instead of saying the bleedin' obvious, and correcting the long-spouted mistruths from the antis, he rambled on about retail outlets being closed and the state of the car...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001ylwd/south-today-evening-news-23042024 If your quick @Sarge, it will be replaced after tonights episode. Our bit is at 20mins

Yes, Billy Lawrence has been with the club a while. I believe Ryan Maher (the Scottish lad) is Chris's direct replacement. He's done a few bits, most noticeably the Anindya Bakrie interview that went out today. It had very good sound and multiple camera angles to boot. Ryan seems to be a...

I see this all the time in my day job as a web dev. Copying text from PDF's tend to do this, and double ff's are the usual suspects.

The changing rooms moved from the corner stand to Beech Road in '75. Initially, there was just a tunnel for the players to access the pitch, with the Manager, Mr Fish, and the Sub still walking across the pitch. This pic from 1978 is the earliest I can find with a pic of the Beech Rd dugouts...

Thanks to Oxvox and OUSP. A really well-run event and audible stream.

What's an activation? AB. It's what we do on a matchday.

Half-time experience. He praises PRB but bemoans the crossbar challenge, etc. New ideas coming.

Question about the external atmosphere mentions Street Food and External Beer trucks. AB. The new stadium 'plaza' geared for that, mentions external power etc for that. "Decent Beer, decent prices" JC. Geordie boy and mentions a lot of things he likes at Newcastle. JG. Totally understands...

Question from Robin re debt TW: Who here has a mortage? Debt isn't a problem. Unsustainable debt is a problem, and lenders won't lend to something unsustainable. GF: Reiterates why a separate company is a good thing, as it protects OUFC from that debt.

Question re Finacial Losses from Colin B TW won't say what the losses are. Got a bit techy. GF: What is your point regarding the question? Colin B concerned losses are building every year as soft debt. TW: I can't answer that as not a shareholder.

Disability access for new stadium. Jim Goddard: Wheelchair access will be second to none. Jon Clarke: The over-road bridge will be accessible.

Morale. Question regarding morale, and presumption it's poor among backroom staff. Lots of staff leaving. (Round of applause). Jim Goddard. I came back! It's buzzing and hard-working but has returned to the club in a very different and passionate atmosphere. GF. CW is a friend. He's moving onto...

Question regarding fan engagement and things to do around the stadium pre/post match. TW. It's down to costs. Would need to sell another 5K tickets to make it worthwhile (assume Firoka charging rent for Boxpark?)
