    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Worrying! Thanks Colin. It does feel as if something has changed for the worse in the last few months. Maybe we should be asking whether Niall McWilliams is still involved too at the fans forum. Having a proper Oxford man involved gave me comfort the club's interests would be protected. If...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    In the Chris Williams thread we've gone off on a bit of a tangent about the stadium. I need my regular fix of reassurance from @Colin B that the way it is being paid for etc is still going to benefit Oxford United and not recreate another Kassam scenario. Has anything changed as far as you know...

    Ex-Staff Chris Williams Leaves

    When I say changed finances, I don't mean the overall package of what is being paid for, as clearly the stadium is going ahead, I mean how it is being paid for and how protected OUFC are from another Kassam situation.

    Ex-Staff Chris Williams Leaves

    What worries me a bit on the finance front is that every time I've raised a concern on these threads I've been assured by @Colin B that we needn't worry, and I've also been reassured with people like Niall M involved that there are good people looking after Oxford United's interests. However...

    I remember it from Boro away in particular as well, almost a great day!

    Current Player #20 Rúben Rodrigues

    Can we revive the repetitive and very fun Toni Martinez song for Ruben? None of this nonsense about drinking jaeger etc, just singing Ruben Rodrigues over and over again for 90 minutes?

    Football Special Bus (OX2/OX3/OX7)

    If they ran two buses on each route, one 15/30mins earlier than the other, that would be the ideal I would have thought. Personally I'm happy with the current bus timings.

    League One Tinpot Reading

    Looking forward to seeing the details on the covenants that will (hopefully!) stop that from ever happening to us with the new stadium!

    Steeper = better atmosphere and more efficient use of space. Hoping we go for something similar!

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    I was hoping for something bigger than this (I was hoping for the entire stand!), but would also be interested in compromise solutions from the club if something smaller scale would work, rather than having nothing.

    Football Special Bus (OX2/OX3/OX7)

    Good news! Any prospect of an additional OX7 any time soon too?

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    In my feedback to the club I've suggested there should be additional rail seating behind the opposite goal that is fully allocated, to allow for this situation too. In general though, some really good thoughts and feedback in this thread on the topic, and lots of different ideas and solutions...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Yes, I am not insinuating that those in the East Stand today who insist on sitting in their seats are in the wrong as the culture is well established in that stand now of sitting/standing in your allocated space, but I do think it holds us back in being able to create a better atmosphere as...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    I suppose the alternative is that the fans themselves dictate the culture within the stands. At away games it's an unwritten rule that you stand where you like irrespective of what is on the ticket. If the most vocal fans agreed to congregate in a particular part of the ground (safe standing and...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Glad to see the discussion on unallocated seating has been had. I think the points raised by WuTang are most pertinent, as someone who tried, and succeeded albeit temporarily, in improving the atmosphere at the Kassam with the Ultras group. The example of Germany is also pertinent, where they've...

    Football Special Bus (OX2/OX3/OX7)

    Just to add that the single OX7 bus was also completely rammed again, with people standing in the aisles. There should be a second OX7 put on too.

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Interesting, thanks for clarifying that @OUFCGav. I know we'll be looking to sell out every game, but I wonder if it's worth the club looking at what this entails and if it's worth considering, if the hit on capacity is small? Or alternatively are there different ways around this, for example...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    Thanks @Scotchegg, great to get hear! On the train, I currently catch it to every home game and would not describe it as direct. It stops at quite a few places along the way with plenty getting on and off, and in the evening it stops even more (taking 1hr 30mins to get back from an evening...

    New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Planning

    And since you kindly came back on nearly all the points I'd listed, I'll put the rest in case there is more overlap worth discussing: Stadium name with a local link (e.g. The Brake, Parkway etc), rather than a more generic 'Community Stadium'. Avoid use of Americanisms such as 'Arena'. More...
