General POLL - Email OCC Before 19th September

[unification]

I don’t see the sense in closing the stadium thread either. This one is great for a running tally of responses. The stadium thread is for the other stuff.

 

[Carpy]

Seem I read the room wrong... unlocked

Thanks to the 13 who have emailed today

 

[WuTang]

Emails sent. Mine was quite lengthy so not expecting any of them to read it but I'm hoping at least one takes the time. Included a couple of photos of the displays we created and flag for Jim Smith. Personal mental and social impact of the club on myself and then the usual benefits the new stadium will bring. Also popped in a reminder of certain Green councillors opposing the Amex and now seeing Brighton absolutely thrive, hint hint Mr Middleton

 

[Oufcrealist]

Sent emails to chairs and my OCC councillor.
Have had replies.

 

[Gregortheox]

2 more younger colleagues have emailed today... Hopefully these young uns carry some weight

 

[psquared]

Sent an email to Liz Leffman last week and have had an acknowledgement.

The Glynis Phillips one is wrong (m at the start).
Just fired off my support.

 

[Mad Dog]

I sent my email last week, a very lengthy and heartfelt message, highlighting the importance of the stadium move to the very future of our club, and the importance of our club to the lives of tens of thousands of fans across the county, and beyond.

Hopefully they'll do the right thing...

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I have sent my email to all of the noted emails. I am not a resident of Oxfordshire, but hopefully everything will count for at least something.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Carpy]

1 more to go to push us into three figures...

The Glynis Phillips one is wrong (m at the start).
Just fired off my support.

shes my county councillor - yep, drop/ disregard the 'm' at the start - the rest of her email address is correct

 

[The mighty Aldo]

Can somebody assure me that these Councillors have to divulge who is for and who is against the proposal when letters/e mails are sent in?
All well and good us sending in letters/ emails but if for instance a Councillor who is against the stadium can say they received more against the proposal than for how do we know?
Do they have to say I received 100 replies 75% are in favour 25% against?
How do we believe them,they are politicians after all

Likewise.

Diplomatic but it has to be.

thats the thing isnt it? ... the main example of how councillors behave most of us have experienced is the self-proclaimed neutral green (multi) councillor, who does his fellow local politicians no favours whatsoever, if he is the barometer for all of them

any wonder in the main younger generations don't engage in politics, if all they have to go on is the very questionable behaviour of Yarnton's own Chester V

Exactly
The reason I’m asking the question is, we could send in thousands of letters saying we want the council to go ahead but it means f**k all if said councillors don’t let us know
The survey was a different matter it was all above board and we have seen the results
I would really like to know if we are wasting our time here

 

[OX18]

Well I had a very positive answer from our local County Councillor …..

As an ex Chairman of Carterton Town Football Club I am very much on board with the principle of a new Stadium and I hope like you that events move forward and deliver a fantastic sporting facility for Oxfordshire residents,

Yes fantastic
This confirms my point, those Councillors who are pro the stadium are going to vote yes to it anyway
Mr Leverton may have 75% of people writing in opposing the stadium but he’s still going to vote yes.
My bet is that most Councillors have already made their minds up and letters for or against aren’t going to make any difference
