General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

View attachment 13339oh no the tackley lads have firmed up .
Pathetic , desperate!!!!!!!

What is the strange obsession a couple of people in Tackley have with the ground? They are miles away.

No football fans will go there, I can’t see people travelling 6.2 miles out of the way to the Gardiners arms (I had to google maps this information) pub for a pre match drink. In fact i am born and bred Oxford, lived there for the first 39 years of my life and I am a hundred percent certain I have never been to the place, also I am not certain I had even heard of it, it will remain a quiet little backwater completely unaffected by our new ground.

I actually imagine the local pub landlord in Tackley wishes he would get football fans in given the plight of village pubs though, probably be the only thing that will save it from inevitable closure, never going to happen though.

That's how deep the FOSB infiltration runs.

It will if we knock down a few houses in Kidlington.

Or North Oxford!!

No thanks! Imagine the Mosquitoes! We could all be struck down with Dengue fever!

Is this better or worse than what we’ve caught at the Kassam over the years?

Just took 93 year old mum to vote. In a very loud voice she said, “Which box for YES?” A cheer went up from waiting voters.

How can that be?..... Voting starts on the 10th

Not sure that the BBC article about the poll has been shared. Pretty fair assessment. Only inaccuracy is the mention of it being 18,000 capacity. As we now know, it's 16,000 (per the stadium website).

It's just the middle classes trying to get one over on predominantly working class football fans. That's the root of the opposition - snobbery.

To not build the stadium would be to let prejudice win.

Victoria was on radio oxford this morning.

When it was said the vote was non binding she started saying that she hoped OCC were not going to ignore it blah blah blah

Did they ask her where she lives?

Well she can’t have it both ways. You can be damn sure she’ll ignore it if the majority vote yes.

FoSB must be confident that 'no' will win. Otherwise it seems like a desperate throw of the dice for them. If 'yes' wins, then having one of the spokepeople for FoSB on saying that the vote should not be ignored would be very damaging for them.

Did they have someone putting the YES point of view otherwise bias reporting again

 

[Headley]

Yes they did, I'd say it was fair reporting.

The Chair of KPC even said the vote was premature too
