Sorry but that is nowhere near true. Well in remarks to that site not being suitable for housing development. It's not Weston supermare beach
No it isn’t WSM beach. It could well be contaminated though and unfit for housing development…
You’re right, it is a good thing that Kassam is open for us playing at the stadium past the end of the lease as this will mean we won’t have to groundshare while the new stadium gets built.Wake up folks, we’re in trouble. There are 926 days left until Aug 1 2026 and we haven’t even submitted an application. There is zero chance of us playing at The Triangle in 26/27. Add a couple of years on and maybe we could.
Given that, the club should be delighted to hear that Kassam is open to us staying for a time, as ground sharing would kill the club financially.
We’ve played a high-stakes game of chicken and I think we’re going to need to blink first for the protection of the club.
None of this has anything to do with FoSB/Middleton. It’s simply a case of realism regarding logistics, bureaucracy and economics.
I understand that no one wants to hear this, let alone believe it so I’ll don the tin-hat, but above all else, OUFC must survive whilst staying close to Oxford, and that must be protected above all else.
Like that contaminated triangle land you mean?

FOSB have also finally admitted that the lease does end in 2026 now.
As for the rest of the dramatics in your post, the club will be moving to a new stadium and planning will be submitted fairly soon IMO.
I have and I’ve also listened to people who actually know what they are talking about.Dramatics. Really.
Do the maths.
I admire your confidence and hope more than anything else that it isn’t misplaced.I have and I’ve also listened to people who actually know what they are talking about.
Exactly that and quite possibly the only VSC. Odd that he should come out with this now as it is also counter-intuitive to his own plans for housing development on the site.The onus is now on the club to prove in the planning application, that staying at the Kassam is not a viable option. Which they would have been required to do in any event. You only get to build on green belt land in "very special circumstances". The club being homeless in less than three years was a pretty compelling circumstance.
Pleas don't click on ox fail links, just ups their income.Looks like the FoSB agent inside the Oxford Fail has struck again
Oxford United stadium owner open to club staying put
British businessman Firoz Kassam says he is happy for the Yellows to stay at Kassam Stadium in Littlemore, Oxford, after the club's lease expires in…www.oxfordmail.co.uk
