Tis a fine line between street art and graffiti.
Street art, and we have rather a lot in Leicester, can make dull/scruffy areas look much more "loved" as a baseline to work from.
Graffiti "tags" etc can have the polar opposite impact.
Art & football even go together...

Was probably those working class football fans who did it.

More likely the local yobs who are arm chair supporters of the big 6. The nimbys can spout their rubbish leaflets all they like, everyone out of Kidlington knows its a joke to call it a village !
 
Somebody has stepped it up a bit for them recently.
Posters put up on lampposts & bus stops& the like.never noticed it till recently.

Perhaps worth reporting to the council then, I'm not sure if they would have permission to do that.

Yes you're right about that. They was laminated & held together with wire. Someones putting the effort in.

After reading the oppositions recent posts it appears that they have shifted focus onto the narrative that the land is being gifted to a private commercial group for financial gain.

So they initially followed the narrative that it was an environmental concern....which doesn't really hold water considering the current land is sports field so doesn't give much environmental benefit at all.

Then they shifted onto trying to demonise our foreign owners....which clearly didn't go the way they had hoped.

Now they are resorting to demonising us as a private organisation with no other interests than financial gain, maybe they might want to check how much money was invested into the training ground this summer, which the owners did not have to do if all they cared about was making money.
 
It would be interesting to know how much money is generated for the community fund when fans buy tickets online. I always donate something and I am sure many others do too. Without the football club this would not happen.
 
Lots of tweeting from FoSB over weekend, far too many to copy here but in summary they're querying if the impending recession will effect this, calling it a 'land grab' and pointing out investors have walked away from OUFC before. As well as the usual tired old lines including linking to an article in the Oxford Mail about the green belt and SB from 2006!

Quite happy for them to keep making this recession point.

It makes it all the more impactful that our owners are willing to invest TENS of millions of pounds into the Oxfordshire economy and UK plc.

The county won’t get many opportunities such as this - they’d be mad not to grab it with both hands.

That's a very good point, FoSB and other opposition groups have also been keen to point out that kidlington has very low unemployment so doesn't need extra jobs from this site.

It's pretty daft to say something like this, especially in such uncertain times, who knows what the statistics will be in a years time let alone 10, 15 or 20 years.
