Potential New Ground

[Manorlounger]

Unfortunately for the club, it's the investors who decides where their money is spent and how they are going to get that back..

That almost sounds as if you would prefer that we tell them how and where to invest and, how much they should "gift" to the club?
Hardly a logical or reasonable assertion.

Isnt that the case with most clubs?

There’s me thinking that when we get our shiny new 4 sided stadium we’ll all be nice and toasty tucked away from those nasty wintery winds.
Well, that notion went quickly out of my head after freezing my nuts off on Saturday in their fully enclosed fridge!

It did get cold 2nd half.
Will need a built in sun/heat filter system ?

Fortunately, we hopefully have investors.

Copy the air conditioning systems being used in Qatar World Cup stadiums.

Oh.

I can highly recommend the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium (Fenerbache), they have heaters built into the roof (Sorry Greta) ??

It's Frieze Farm then - good access.

As I keep on repeating, investors are here for a reason to make money.
Building a new stadium doesn't guarantee the club anything on or off the pitch, IF it were to ever go ahead it would all be about the fine detail of any contract, there is no one on here or at the club I expect who know any of that detail, given the thing is still in lets see if it's worth spending our money stage for the investors.

No idea.

Wonder how a few hundred Oxford fans would be received at The Turnpike... bit too posh for Football!!

I agree, that's why I shudder at the fantasists on here laying out their business plans as fact, I get this is a forum for people to put their opinions but trying to second or third guess what the investors are doing is laughable.

Does investors equate to long term sustainability? Wasn't FK an investor ?

Our stadium would be in the south, unlike freezing cold northern outposts such as Milton Keynes...

Remind me what the tempertature is today in balmy Blackbird Leys? Are the frons on the palm trees waving in the warm breeze and are all the natives on their verandahs sipping pina coladas?

They're in their Sierras sipping Tennents Super, it's a similar vibe.

Mk is a badly designed stadium in my opinion it felt colder than the kassam does. Let's build are stands closer to the pitch, a single tier bowl with steeper gradient seating, executive boxes above running the length of both sides of the pitch. And no gap between the stand ending and the roof starting. We can then all be topless in winter like the geordies.

No idea.

Well there ate very few supporter owned clubs.
So almost all clubs are owned by ' investors'. Many with very different investors to FK.
