Even as a demolished brown field site? I would have thought one correctly sized bit of land within the city of Oxford was a good as any other if the price was right?
Ok, I'll bite.
demolished brown field site - So, where would the club play in the meantime? And, this would entail having bought the stadium for whatever ludicrous price Kassam sets (if he even agrees to sell to the club, something he hasn't done so far) Then paying to have the land cleared - another expensive task. And then building a new stadium within the confines of the original footprint. That would make for an interesting project for a developer wanting a return on their investment.
if the price was right - Already covered but, what price would you envisage as being right? How much for an existing stadium as opposed to a plot of undeveloped land?
bit of land within the city of Oxford - Did you know that Greater Leys was not part of the City of Oxford before it was built? Gives scope for going a little further afield with a lot of land coming under scrutiny for housing initially but other development being considered.
Lastly, none of this is new. All this has been posted, time and time again. Several of us have endeavoured to explain this, time and time again. it's almost as if folks on here really do want to wind up others. (
@Scotchegg is not alone)
Some of us research the subject, I've spent hours looking at green belt reports, planning applications, reading up on the business that is Firoka, Stadco and the man himself, Kassam. I've read City & County council meeting minutes and read the terms of the OxVox instigated 'Asset of community value' recognition.
We don't have to be 'in the know' just utilising common sense and the facts out there is sufficient.
