Never going to happen anywhere!
Who’s says???
Never going to happen anywhere!
Judging by the happenings on another thread-Wound up ?Is there any update on the probable sites, where will we wind up?
I think if today’s news is unfortunately true, there is only going to be one site where we will stay, I wonder who will own the club.Judging by the happenings on another thread-Wound up ?
A wind upWhat news?
See HMRC postWhat news?
Down to three then, of which Kassam is one of them...
Ho-hum!
If the two remaining sites are genuine options, then that's a better situation than we've seen since the first plans at Grenoble Road...Of course, we have no idea how likely any of these options are!!
I have a feeling the clubs preferred option is a better relationship with FK. I remain to be convinced the finances are available for anything else.
Have you seen what Thohir's background is and how much he is worth?I have a feeling the clubs preferred option is a better relationship with FK. I remain to be convinced the finances are available for anything else.
I would refer folk to the "Northern Gateway" plan already in existence. This makes clear reference to an area of land being released from it's "Green Belt" status and, what is more interesting, the desire for retail, hotel and entertainment facilities along with housing and employment. This is the sort of development opportunity that could make someone like Erik Thorhir very interested as an investment possibility. Much like FK achieved with Grenoble road, only with greater scope, this is a real possibility. A world class stadium (only smaller) with the ability to host concerts, conferences, exhibitions, other sports and home to OUFC with community access under OUFC majority control would be a dream come true. And, a very attractive feature for local politicians seeking votes. No green belt loss (already sorted) more housing, more employment and very little tax payer funding.
The links to public transport are already in place and could be further developed. Access from major roads is straightforward and parking would follow naturally to support both retail and entertainment facilities. Vacating Grenoble road would free up land for housing (and considerable gain for FK - and hopefully promptly deferred pending restoration of The Priory!) This would offset any loss of housing from the existing plan.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t overseeing big construction projects Horst Gieke’s field also.
