I was brought down to earth again yesterday at the game. Spoke to more than a few regulars about posting on the planning portal and was really disappointed to hear that they had no idea what I was talking about. One even stated that the stadium was not going to happen, it was all delayed and the lease was not going through. These are OUFC fans! The communications have to be ramped up. We need more publicity. We need the media onside. FoSB have been clever enough to capitalise on their influence at the Fail and through having some duplicitous and devious politicians in their pocket.
The message has to be communicated to all those who are not devotees to this forum, social media etc. Perhaps it's time for a fully funded media campaign? If they won't print fair and unbiased articles then buy the whole page and print the truth.
Everyone who goes to games must take it upon themselves to talk to at least one other and get the message across. Everyone needs to be talking the truth. There are too many chinese whispers, conjecture, misheard facts, and general nonsense stories in circulation.
And, games like yesterday with that kind atmosphere promote the belief that we are a huge part of the community. Let's get that feeling across to all those who doubt.
