Are there any further details of what the issues around security and access issues were which led to the AGM to be cancelled?

I`m sure, like the cancellation notice, we will be informed in due course.
I`ll guess StadCo being a***holes.

But if that was the case the club, OUSP & OxVox would surely have mentioned it. No?

If it was OUSP that had cancelled last minute and didn't give more details then you would be much more vocal in questioning the reasons why.
Is there also a reason the Mods closed the original thread?

Yes.

That group could just defer to a phone box in the Leys............. there ain`t no members to seat or worry about.

I`m sure OxVox will give details in due course, it is Sunday, and the other group has feck all to do with a democratic AGM.

Maybe we shouldn't speculate about a security risk and respect that we don't deserve to know everything right away

Why shouldn't we?

I guess I read security risk as something potentially serious and not something we should expect immediate answers on. I do see how it could mean something less grave but you never know.
Paul Cannell

We don't know, and if we don't seek a proper answer we never will.

Begs the question why they want to shut down a thread. What is there to hide?

Can't answer that I'm afraid, could be something, could be nothing

The right way to go about that then is to talk to them directly rather than publicly speculate

I haven’t speculated. I have asked them why they felt the need to shut a thread down.
For all the flack OUSP get (and I’ve been one of those to question them) I have to say right now, they are the only supporters group who actually communicate properly with the fan base.
a few years ago OxVox has held members meetings with invited speakers at both Oxford citys club house ( the controversial Mr Mixter was one of the invited speakers) and also if memory serves a couple of meetings at The Masons Arms, Quarry ( in the function room) one had invited speakers, including city and county councillors as well as Nial Mac- I may be wrong ( memory ain't what it was) there mayhave been an AGM held there too?
Im in no way ITK , but logically the Stadium ower/ landlord may have decided to be awkward re accessibilty , timewise etc ?
of corse it could've been something else as well- Im sure the powers that be at OxVox will inform the whys n wherefores (eventually)

With the 200 folk on the mailing list or by posting on here is hardly "the fan base".
More to the point the AGM got pulled at very short notice and it was the weekend.
Seems everyone wants everything immediately and patience is a thing of the past.

I dont think it is unreasonable to question why something got pulled last minute and for a thread to be closed by OxVox themselves.
Now this isn't a dig at OxVox (although it may seem like it) but the facts are that it will be 2 years since the last AGM, and only one committee meeting in the last year. So much has happened in this time with the stadium planning delay, the need to secure somewhere to play football from June 2026, the near relegation and subsequent promotion, and all the challenges that come with being in the Championship. We have poor communication from the club, and it feels like communication from OxVox is just as bad.

Maybe they need more volunteers........... and we only need a single point of supporter contact?
Might have mentioned it before............

As an exile, meetings that are not before a game are problematic for me - in that driving the best part of 60 miles each way and getting there for 7pm on a weekday evening is not really a goer. I know they acknowledge this in the email, but I like to go to the meetings to listen (a lot) and contribute (a little) and to show support.

Good to see that OxVox have acted swiftly to put a new date in place.
