General New Stadium Plans - Stratfield Brake

[n1]

Looks like they are already planning their own STADCO (from those linked OCC meeting preparation notes)
"OUFC propose that the lease would be taken in the name of a corporate entity, owned 100% by Oxford United Directors shareholders, to be set up to develop the scheme."

"OUFC request that the remainder of the OCC land not utilised for the Stadium may be sublet as a whole or in parts by the corporate entity of OUFC, at a market rent to operators providing commercial and leisure facilities such as retail, hotel and conference facilities. All of these would, of course, be subject to planning approval. It is understood that the revenue from these is required to fund the construction of the Stadium. In the event that the OUFC fold and no professional football club can be found to sublease the Stadium, the entire headlease is assigned to the landlord."

So ... will the football club actually benefit from revenues around the stadium?

Can anyone elaborate on this? Sounds worrying if I have read it correctly.

Looks like it’ll be 4 separate stands with a bowl roof. Similar to Brighton

Hope not, crners covered in please

I there's going to be an ice rink, would it not be sensible to put a swimming pool next-door the heat from the ice rink could warm the pool water.

I suppose the club will benefit from paying no or a peppercorn rent.

Seems pretty clear the ground lease will be held by the 'corporate entity'.

You're very good at posing questions but ignoring answers.

This came up several time on previous threads link to the stadium ownership. All matchday revenue will go to the club, all ancillary income will offset the cost of the development. There's nothing underhand about this, no matter how hard you try to find it!

Populous built Allianz Field for Minnesota United - 20k capacity. Don't be surprised if it's similar to this:

Allianz Field - Populous

The new home of Major League Soccer’s Minnesota United, Allianz Field boasts the latest in amenities and technology while also being sustainably-designed to minimize environmental impact and energy usage. Its elegant “flow” design concept features LED lighting throughout the facility. The...

EDIT: When I say similar, assuming our project spend comes in at £100m as mooted, you'll sacrifice some of the luxury that Allianz Field has. That being said, the design as a template probably won't be dissimilar, though remove the top tier in their ground and remove the corners with a few additional rows.

Them squares bottom right?

They’re for the sewage beds.

Just a thought, maybe the owners are also re-devloping Oxpens.

Not the owners but the council are already in the consultation stage regarding oxpens and this allows them to have a blank canvas at oxpens to work with.

If it relies on car travel, it won't happen.

The task here is to make the public transport links of such a high standard that no one will give two hoots. I will accept a moving walkway from my Cotswolds idyl to my seat, via several eateries, obvs.

Looks like it would fit in the footprint on the plan posted on the thread earlier, Maybe 18k without the corners filled in.

Indeed…

Quite.

It’ll be more like a mini AmEx with the capacity of Brentford.

I’ll be taking the barge to home games. No need for my private parking space.

That’s what I was getting at in this thread earlier. That stadium is stylish and it’s memorable. It’s like a smaller Amex and there’s no shame in that.

That kind of stadium would be terrific.

So, just got back from a weekend away. Anything mildly interesting happened this weekend that I might have missed....?

 

[OX14]

Do like the fact the corners aren't filled in but the roof continues all the way round, a bit different then all the rest of the soulless bowls.
