You're going to be pleasantly surprised then!

Surely by now we would have heard with an application going in the necessary consultations

surely it's time to close this thread until an announcement is made, it's just going around in circles with the same stuff repeated.

I suspect that without the pandemic things would have moved a lot quicker. I also suspect that without the pandemic a move away from Grenoble Road would have been extremely difficult. The funding shortfalls facing local authorities are acute and are unlikely to get better anytime soon. Local councils are going to be far more receptive to groups that can bring substantial investment into an area than they would have previously, especially if that means freeing up a large amount of land for affordable housing at the same time. We build a new stadium with the caveat of improving the local infrastructure wherever that is and FK gets to build a load of ‘cheap’ houses over the Kassam. Double win for the LA.

I thought that you were convinced that we would stay at the Kassam?

No, I won't be. Never going to happen.

Man I suggested that six months ago

How do you know that?

You missed all the posts about the local plans put in place by local authorities then? There is an existing requirement for community sports facilities. OUFC is already running the Oxford Sports Park (home to the training ground) at the behest of Oxford City. The various county authorities will be delighted if a very rich benefactor comes along and builds them a brand new sports arena with all the bells and whistles. OUFC then run that facility for the benefit of all.

If there isn’t a chip shop I’m not interested.

I don't get everything right (still hopeful for your blue running top @SteMerritt ) but on this matter I can give you an absolute assurance that it is going to happen.

When? That I don't know. The takeover has been delayed longer than I expected and I'm not sure of the reasons why. Global politics are as likely as local ones, but the takeover WILL happen and the new stadium WILL be very much part of their plans.

Blimey that’s a bold statement. I hope you’ll be proved right. Do you do transfer news as well?

Well we are for the next *insert random number here* years at least.

If "they" are reliant on other infrastructure projects before they even put in for planning, and the challenges that often involves, then the timeframe could be longer than many think, certainly beyond the end of the current lease.

I don`t pretend to know anything but offering FK a pile of wedge and redeveloping the current footprint might not be off the table as the pieces get moved around the chess board...............

Not very well it appears! Will Boyle from Cheltenham is the only name that I felt confident with, but that's gone a little quiet during the last week or so.

I'm working out a deal with these guys. Best fish & chips in Bournemouth. Could be big, very big.
