General New Stadium Plans - Stratfield Brake

[OX14]

Perfect for that fierce derby of ours with Cambridge.

Even better link for our fierce derby with MK dons... I will get my coat .

We can finally untap that resource of fans from Winslow. ‘Been saying that for years.

Interesting to see Quins planning some ground upgrades.
The sort of thing that Kassam SHOULD have done.
Wiki also says that a few years ago, Populous were planning a 25K ground at the Stoop.

Harlequins reveal plans to improve The Stoop

Works, which include a new fan village behind the North Stand, are subject to final planning approval

But it was owned by Kassam?
He wouldn't want to pay out the coat and would prefer housing...

Sadly we’ll miss out on the Winslow massive, MK Dons much closer. I’ll be flying the yellow flag though providing Mrs Yellowmania drops me off there.

I have on many occasions ridden my bike with my Ox shirt on through the town so I think we're on to a winner

I tried to look on Wikipedia but fell asleep and fell off my chair.

there was a 40's play (later a film) The Winslow Boy..... which I have a very vague memory of it being a play that I was supposed to have studied in English lit classes at school , ... It had a similar affect on me ( way back then)

I actually know at least one U’s fan who lives in Winslow, could well be a hotbed within 5 years

Why, do they get around then?

I live about 5 miles away and can sadly vouch it’s a lost cause (as is Winslow).

Don't forget East West Rail will be up and running by the mid-20's which will open new routes, it really is the perfect location.

Is that definitely going to get beyond MK? I’d really like to get a train all the way to Cambridge

Received a response to my comments to Layla Moran's survey:

"Thank you for contacting me about the proposal by Oxford United Football Club to build a new stadium at Stratfield Brake.

There was a very high response to our recent survey of local residents with strong support for both sides on the debate, with a majority of local residents opposed, on balance, but strong support for the plans from Oxford United fans across the county.

Key concerns about the plans include the threat to the Green Belt, increased traffic, parking problems and the need to protect the woodland. Positives include having a permanent long term home for the club and the potential for investment in much better active travel infrastructure locally.

I have encouraged the County Council Cabinet to keep discussions going with both the club and with local parish councils to try to find a solution which is acceptable to everyone.

Best wishes,
Layla

Yes I did that at school, seemed a most pointless play

Taken at face value that is reasonably positive I would have thought.
