Hey
I shall try and post any key discussions in this top post. Signal depending!
A good meeting. Neil and Dan have been fantastic considering they have only been at the the club for a few weeks. Both positive and enthusiastic.
2134 - Close
2016: Q&A's -
Q - Situation on OUFC Women's
A -; decision on 5th Feb
Q - Why were shirts taken away and prices raised for the OX4Life?
A - MD is concious about bad marketing. And needs to look into.
Q - Sarge - Why no emails from club? Why is the Covered Market shop unreliable
A - Understands the lack of communications. MD is visiting Peterborough and Bristol to look at how they do things and take ideas to bring to the club. Will work hard to get it right.
OxVox are looking at murual for back of EastStand. Kassam would allow but no advertising. His corporate guests would get a better view. And Fan create a 4th stand. Kassam recently interested, but made a joke about who gets ticket money.
Q - How have we allowed this to go backwards, has one man changed it?
A - MD doesn't know enough yet, will take back to a meeting. But agrees colour band noise is needed.
Sarge mentioning flag access. No Ultras present tonight. Ultras chose the area due to only 17 ST holders.
Talk on OxTales. A gallery of person's of interest was a big issue to OxVox, so asked the club to tell fans. FSF have been looking into it. Grey area about persons of interest, like when it should be removed, by who etc... MD will take this to Mixter
Q - Sarge - How much dealings with Ian Mixter?
A - MD only met him a few times band sits in pre and post op meetings
Q - Will Kassam do a deal after arbitration?
A - No, possibly a new lease
Q - Mark Sennet - Exeter College own land next to OCC land they are willing to sell land. Would that speed up anything? And how close are legal challenges from finalising
A - Exeter College have not come forward with any plans to sell.
Arbitration business unknown. Both parties say things are "done"
Q - Science Park car parking?
A - they are willing to talk about opening car parks on match day.
Q - Sarge - Priory! Do the council own the Priory + assurances fit for use before hotel. What control doe the council have over Kassam. And now Health and Safety about toilets.
A -Bob - council planners are looking at legal action about the lack of Priory. And will get toilets checked
Kassam has been given land options, in return for selling stadium but his planning team haven't met requirements on 3 occasions and has now stopped talking
Lots of history about meetings with Kassam being talked about. Talks with Kassam breaking down.
Q - Do the club have a plan on where the club will play/be playing moving forward
A - OxVox informing about the stadium feasibility study that took place last year. That Grenoble Rd IS ok. Club can renew stadium at current deal.
Q - Jem: Any news about training Ground
A - Bob Price - new land purchased and land offered to club to make a decision on what they want. Possibly a decision Friday.

1944: MD intro over, now onto Dan, Academy.
1937: Club know they need to improve marketing + PR + growing next generation, 2 under 30's in attendance tonight.
1934: Club needs infrastructure to stop local talent going elsewhere.
1927: Neil McWilliams, MD is giving an intro. Supported OUFC since moving to the county in 1989.
1926: OxVox aware of email issues and changing the system.
1925: Ian Hudspith arrives to "are the roads bad".
1925: 990 members now. Almost at 1000. £12k in the accounts.
