Why?Im sorry but I now take everything that NMW says regarding stadium developments with a large pinch of salt.

I struggle to think of anything that he‘s insinuated or hinted at having any sign of coming to fruition as yet. I might as well listen to a well meaning U’s supporting mate of mine down the pub. That might be being unfair, Im sure hes under all sorts of restrictions, but Ive just given up listening to any of them when it comes to the stadium, after around two years of ‘tit-bits’.Why?
Perhaps the lack of hints, insinuations or titillations should convince you of his attitude and approach to this task. It’s the harder path to tread.I struggle to think of anything that he‘s insinuated or hinted at having any sign of coming to fruition as yet.

Nothing personal

Really? After the total lack of progress for years and years - suddenly the pandemic is the reason nothing has happened, and without it there would have been a deal? I like your optimism, but doubt your realism.I honestly believe that, without covid, we would have had a stadium deal in place by now.
The lack of progress was down to owners who had neither the finances nor the experience to make this happen. Tiger, and more importantly, the other board members have both. The pandemic is the reason why things slowed, but things were very much happening before and these comments suggest that further progress is on the cards.Really?

It won't be a cheaper deal at Grenville Road overall.We won’t be moving. It will be a cheaper deal at Grenoble Rd. Whilst moving would be bloody lovely I just can’t see it happening.
Absolutely. Perfect fit for Oxford. Would sit nicely on Port Meadow. Expect Zaha Hadid to join the OUFC Board very soon.I was only thinking yesterday if we build a new stadium it would be built with this in mind.
it apparently is a buyers market , certainly in property @Brahma .... good friend of mine is involved in New build house sales, an absolute rarity pre lockdown , yet common place in recent weeks, £30k ( or more) discount off asking prices on new build houses ( over £500k) is fairly common place atm in the home counties areas and 'shiresYou'd think a pandemic, a worldwide pandemic and slowing economies, would be a great time to strike for big property deals. Assuming those are 'ready to strike'. Anyone in the commercial property game would recognise that it's a buyers market.
can only go on what Ive been told has been & is happening with brand new house build salesIn our neck of the woods quite the opposite, with gazumping returning as the WFH brigade realise that the countryside is preferable to the suburbs.
Locals with young families looking at upsizing are losing out to those happy to use their equity to get a place in the country
Zaha Hadid is no longer on the planet - you obviously were unaware?Absolutely. Perfect fit for Oxford. Would sit nicely on Port Meadow. Expect Zaha Hadid to join the OUFC Board very soon.

I'm sure there is no one size fits all scenario. We are also in the happy position of being an easy commute to Central London, so win win for those that may still need an office trip every so often.can only go on what Ive been told has been & is happening with brand new house build sales
I was aware. She died in the US in 2016. It was a poor attempt at sarcasm. Mind, you, even though she's dead, she's more likely to join the OUFC board than planning consent being granted for a new stadium on Port Meadow!Zaha Hadid is no longer on the planet - you obviously were unaware?
