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

[OX14]

So because Chief Condescending Officer Jim Goddard is being paid a fair wedge came back, there isn't a problem with staff morale.

Well the bit about Niall McWilliams being knackered and was persuaded to stay for another year is true.

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 a job that doesn't exist here.
GF. NcW said a year ago, he was knackered and was persuaded to extend his working year. NcW is baffled by all the fuss.

CW did not leave because of Grant. So what he says there is true.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Adam Benson and Jim Goddard the only 2 not applaud that last guy's point about getting a connection and working together...

 

[Hackney Jack]

Top lad Colin B, good question.

 

[Hackney Jack]

Tim Williams... Oh dear...

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Tim Williams... Oh dear...

Tim doesn't like tough questions it seems.

 

[Hackney Jack]

Tim doesn't like tough questions it seems.

Defo. Painful wriggling and evasion - sums him up.

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.

 

[oxfordkits]

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.

 

[oxfordkits]

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 'pre-events' and a fan village like at Ashton Gate. Praises AB for his work on this

 

[Common Villager]

Last question about half time entertainment

 

[oxfordkits]

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

 

[Pgyellow]

That's Rosie's card marked

 

[Northstandboy]

Well I’m disappointed about what an “activation” actually is!

 

[oxfordkits]

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

 

[oufc1991]

Thanks @oxfordkits for the updates

 

[Northstandboy]

That's Rosie's card marked

He does lots of hospitality work too.

I liked the guy who introduced the Christmas karaoke!

 

[oxfordkits]
