General Future of the Kassam Stadium?

[Leysboy]

There can’t be many clubs that have had 3 or 4 stadiums/Grounds in such a short time period.

Coventry 4
Brighton 4
Wimbledon 4
Rotherham 3
Bristol Rovers 3
Charlton?

Can’t think of any others.

It should be converted to a retirement home for fosb members.

Newport maybe?

Gateshead had one season where they toured the north east.

Hope it stays derelict and rots away like the Titanic

Tottenham if you include Wembley.

To put it another way, is there a purpose-built stadium that had a shorter lifespan than the kassam's (hopefully) 25 years?

What a crap piece of infrastructure. Ironically if they ever build that rail spur down to the science park it would start to look like a pretty great spot for a stadium, with the addition of maybe another access route for the car park.

Best not. I think the realisation that local Blackbird Leys residents aren't all racist football hooligans might give them all heart attacks.

Its on the City Council plan for housing. FoSB have tried to get it removed from the City Council's housing plan.

Getting it removed from the local plan for housing won't mean we get to continue to play at the Kassam. The covenant on the land ends in October 2026 and beyond that date will be a brownfield site and Kassam can develop it into whatever the hell he wants. He's already developing the Ozone with the old bingo hall being knocked down to make way for a new laboratory.

If it won't be homes it will be offices, factories.

FOSB need to do some research and actually take in the information in front of them rather than kidding themselves.

Documentary evidence that proves FOSB know why we have to move.

Good to see that Suzie now excepts that a football stadium benefits the local community and is a plus point for housing developments in the area around it.

I look forward to hearing you talk about the positives the new stadium will bring to the town of Kidlington and North Oxford area Suzie

"Planning permission will be granted for residential development, public open space and replacement community and/or sport and leisure facilities, and for commercial uses within the existing area of the Ozone Leisure Park only, on the Kassam Stadium and Ozone Leisure Park site. The football stadium should remain (unless it has been replaced elsewhere in Oxford or in proximity to Oxford). If the Kassam Stadium is replaced elsewhere and that part of the site becomes available for development, the minimum number of homes to be delivered is 275. Other complementary uses will be considered on their merits"

I've heard there will be a pub that Ka$$am says will be called The Golden Goose.

Could be The Smart Slum Landlord Circus

 

[LondonRoader]

Yes that is my take on it.
I wonder if the Science Park is eyeing up all of the Ozone land and the stadium will be flats and car parks?

A very educated guess.

 

[Yellow and blue]

A very educated guess.

London reader,you're back old bean.

 

[christenedinjericho]

No he's going to surprise us all and it may well be that Oxford Blackbirds mens team will reform and will play their Saturday afternoon matches in the Oxon senior league at the k*ssam stadium.

He will have a plan b and he will leave no tables unturned lol. He has one last hurrah to go with the k*ssam.

I hope planning for the triangle is in the bag.

God save the King.

COYY'S

When we're finally done with the Kassam Stadium - I hope we dig a BIG HOLE and bury it . . . !!
