GBT was also quite the divisive figure at OUFC if I remember right?

The stadium is not being built in Kidlington.

No, something that keeps getting overlooked. Near Kidlington.
I was going to point that out on Twitter but thought I would just get people saying I was negative, I know it's not the biggest thing in the world but they really shouldn't be getting things like that wrong

Pretty basic mistake that one… it’s NOT in Kidlington! Doesn’t bode well if they f**k their opening statement up.

It would be better if they got the exit wrong, and started digging up Stratfield brake.
Then all of the sudden parish councillors say “oh go on then” now you’ve started have it.

I didn't think it did, Stratfield Brake obviously is but the triangle was just outside?

The parish boundary and village boundary are different things. It is in the parish boundary so KPC definitely have a say on the site, but the Triangle is not in Kidlington itself.

the cgi images on the stadium website do have a 'Welcome to Oxford' road sign in one of them , with the stadium 'Oxford side' of the sign

The sign is actually there, as you can see on Google Maps...
This is just off the Kidlington roundabout, heading towards the station.

The club itself made this exact same point in yesterday's stadium update:
Entirely possible that Fortitude wrote that piece, so that might explain both today's Tweet and yesterday's article both making that reference. It certainly did jump out to me yesterday when I read it on the official site.

Ultimately it's somewhat a case of angels dancing on the head of a pin - it's all about getting the named location down on a submitted planning application now, whether that's Kidlington, near Kidlington, or any other variation they might wish to put down on paper.
I just hope it was a deliberate, thought-out decision and not an error.
