The Final Moments

​

 

[Northstand Grandad]

Why can't we stay at Kassam?

 

[Jonny G]

A big round of applause for the councillor who called for a named vote. It just showed who was supporting the development. If it had not been a named vote, then we may not have seen 3 abstentions.

It was the councilor who's mum needs to get from Banbury to the JR. Well played!

 

[Foley]

And thank you the mods and Yellows forum.
I am away this week and whist reading some of this thread was like a batch day thread when we go 1 down, it is great to be able to follow such a huge event

 

[Jonny G]

Laura Bell for PM, to be assisted by Clr Dr Thornhill!

Yep that was a very smart move

 

[Jonny G]

I think Jon Clarke just referenced one particular team member who I hadn't heard of who he said had been massive for the club, so whatever your position well played Miles Stone.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

Wonderful news.

For those who didn’t watch the planning committee for four and a half hours (for some reason!) here’s the final two minutes and 50 seconds of the point that mattered.

“Stand by your beds!”



Mods, feel free to pin that in this and the main Triangle thread so people can watch it on repeat!!

14-1 will be our best score line all season, no matter what happens between now and May.

We’re going home, ladies and gentlemen

That ‘yes we’ve got it’ is brilliant

YESSS, OH YESSS.

Hobnob's?! You're pushing out the boat there.

Oxford United Secure New Stadium Planning Approval | Oxford United Football Club

Oxford United are delighted that our planning application for a new 16,000 capacity stadium on land north of the city has been approved by Cherwell District Council.

[The Mighty Aldo]

Let’s raise a glass to Niall Mc Williams tonight
Without him we wouldn’t be here

 

[EastStandKieran]

Does this really mean we are going to have a stadium with four stands a stadium not covered in bird s**t a stadium with hot water in the taps a stadium that doesn't stink of sewage


I'm bloody buzzing tonight over the moon

Finally Oxford united will have a home we can be proud of a home we can call home

 

[headingtonoldboy]

Several glasses of Sauvignon Blanc being consumed. Brilliant news. Thanks to everyone who made it happen .

[Jonny G]

The laughs after Mawson abstained and her face, brilliant!

She sort of half turned around as if she was going to explain (I assume to Purple shirt) after delivering her vote.

I guess if he kicks off - and god knows what he must be like to live with - she can tell him that by abstaining she was showing that she remained cautiously neutral!! :O

Mawson didn’t like that chuckle did she

 

[Grumpy Git]

I think we all owe a great debt of gratitude to the owners, the board and those who have secured a new home for the Yellows.
Without your backing, there would be no future. We now have a Championship side and a new stadium to look forward to.

Thank you.

Now let’s do Hull.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

The secretary of state will ratify this won't they?

 

[MJB]

Mawson didn’t like that chuckle did she

Aaaaaah well!

 

[Concretebob]

This is a massive victory for the everyday folk of Oxfordshire.

 

[Under The Cuckoo Lane]

All that chat and then it ends up 14-1. What a joke of a process.

If they had just voted at the start wonder if the vote would have been the same.

 

[bazzer9461]

I quite enjoyed listening to the American. She was positive all the way through.

Cllr Thornhill we love you.

At first I thought she was against

 

[SteMerritt]

New Zealand I hope.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

The secretary of state will ratify this won't they?

Almost 100% yes.

The committee have voted heavily in favour and with the new legislation for football clubs coming in, it’s without tempting fate, almost a slam dunk I’d say.

 

[ThatSlopesATwelfthMan]

Laura Bell for PM, to be assisted by Clr Dr Thornhill!

Yellow Bello. Heroic.

 

[38yearsofpain]

The biggest result for this football club in the 40 years I've been a supporter.
Too emotional to type anything else.

Now the opportunity to become a top 30 club has opened up. Today is a huge day. I was pessemistic about the likely result but sanity prevailed in the end. I suspect the argument that an appeal would be a huge cost to Cherwell Council was persuasive.

 

[Vancouver Yellow]

Wow. Congratulations everyone. Emotions are high, what a beautiful moment. Lord knows this club deserves this after all the Kassam years. Thank you to all the beautiful humans who helped steamroll this forward.

Goodbye, Ian. Slither away.

 

[Emilio]

At first I thought she was against

Same. Especially when she said she was probably the last person who should be talking on matters about sport.

 

[gofish2]

Laura Bell was magnificant. So incredibly professional, unfliching, reasoned and focussed. What an amazing woman. We should send her a thank you bouquet

 

[Manorlounger]

14 - 1 and I was thinking this going to s**t, these idiots couldn't approve their own breakfast without Mummy's help.

 

[Northstandboy]

When will the SoS get this rubber stamped?
