Exactly this! It’s one thing being respectful to their campaign but when they are getting air time and allowed to spout their lies then we should push back.

When Brighton were campaigning they had someone who was constantly in the public eye across all local media, constantly pushing the positives of getting a new stadium. We currently don’t have that but the opposition do.

People say public displays can be seen as a negative but look at Southend, they protested outside the owners house and got a lot of positive press about it, nothing about being hooligans or yobbish behaviour.
They were both very different circumstances. Right know it would not help us to take this approach.
 
There do seem to be some positive pieces at last.
Good to see a County Councilor rather than supporters, giving this upbeat message.
It would be good for more independent ( of supporters) giving their views on the positives.
Why doesn't the head of Oxford United in the Community give an interview to the Mail/ RO explaining all of the good they do and what could be achieved at the new Stadium?

They do. Chris Lowe last had an article in last week.
 
And that's the problem. The lies by the anti's are going front page, positive information is being buried deep in the paper.
You are right.
A huge community asset and the huge benefits to often disadvantaged people being overshadowed by a small number of professional objectors putting in an apparent spurious legal letter....
 
The only thing wrong with that article is that it says the Triangle "has provoked strong criticism from environmental campaigners" They are not environmental campaigners, they are NIMBYS. All of the talk is about traffic and disruption, not the environment, and claiming that we should stay at the incredibly un-environmental Kassam Stadium.

Maybe remove the letters environ from the word, and it would be a better description of them.

My thoughts exactly Colin.

Maybe not such an unbiased report after all!

Exactly Colin and on a serious note, why is Ian Middleton as a Green Councillor against the principle of the club moving from a very carbon inefficient stadium with very limited public transport access to a carbon neutral stadium with excellent public transport links? Of course, the club will need to demonstrate that carbon efficiency and the incentivisation schemes to get people to travel by public transport at the detailed planning stage but as a principle, how can he be against it as a Green?

Because his Green principles take a back seat when it’s in his back yard!

I think we all know the answer to that!
