Kassam Stadium The Kassam Stadium

And we still give Oxford Mail a free pass...

An excellent point. They’ve done far more damage to OUFC lately than this YouTuber has.

I’d imagine at a sensitive time for the club with the Kassam Stadium, openly allowing access to someone who has criticised the stadium would not go down well with Firoz Kassam, I’d imagine that’s the stance the club will be taking & that will be their reasoning for it privately.

 

[OUFCGav]

Sounds good to me. Bad enough some bellend youtuber knocking around the place making cringe f*cking videos about something he knows f*ck all about. Even worse if we're supposed to give the freeloading tw*t a freebie.

Get a real job you 'orrible little c*nt.

A real job that doesn't pay him large amounts of money to travel the world watching football?

Yeah, a fair point

 

[werthersoriginal]

As much as I don't like The Kassam, it's plainly not the worst ground in the country. I mean, we've all been to bloody Swindon for one...

I mean it’s a bit rubbish but it’s ours ( well sort of)

Oh sorry, my bad - money is clearly more important than integrity.

And I wouldn't want to deprive the gaggle of absolute weapons who enjoy his 'content' of their fix.

Although ideally a few more of them might open their (mum's) curtains, get outside, and get a f*cking life.

And then these poisonous little nobodies could crawl back under their stones and leave the rest of us proper (yes, I said it) football supporters to get back to business.

Thats a stretch - if Firoz was the slightest bit worried about people thinking/saying the ground is in the state it is, it wouldn't be in the state it is.

If they have private reasons for it that is one thing, sending part reason to the YouTuber in an email is another. That is never going to end up well PR wise.

Kassam still has our balls in a vice with regards to the extra year.

Pissing him off by allowing people freebies who slag off the stadium that bears his name won’t do us any favours.

Also to allow someone a freebie when he’s bitched about the club would be a bit stupid. He gets to monetise his content by bitching about the club & its facilities. I’d tell him to p**s off as well.

What about this is about integrity?
The people who watch his videos are football fans, just clearly from a different generation to you. Just because you choose not to like it, seems a bit strange to criticise others for enjoying it. I believe he has quite a lot of Oxford followers after his video from the Charlton game the other year.

Why should the club give him a freebie and access when he’s openly bitched about our facilities.

It might be poor but don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

He's actually very positive about the club and the fans. The people saying the worst things about the ground in the video are the Oxford fans.

But as I said, just reply and say no, we can't do it. That would be the end of it (clubs say no to content creators all the time). Saying it's because we don't like the (not unreasonable) things you said is just a bad pr move.

Would you invite someone round to your house for dinner again after they have said your house was a shithole the first time they came over.

I can see why the club are pissed off, relations with Kassam are always on a knife edge, openly seen to be allowing access to someone who has publicly posted something on YouTube about our stadium being s**t (we know it is) wouldn’t be a good look.

So the Oxford Mail article last year about the pigeon s**t issue, and the club getting in a company with some hawks to scare them off, is ok though? I mean the Mail are still allowed in.

I agree they shouldn’t be, I would have banned them a long time ago. I guess the club get enough s**t from the mail without restricting access and giving them an even bigger reason to post smear campaigns against them.

If the stadium gets the go ahead then I think you’ll probably see a much firmer stance

The Mail shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the club for a lot of reasons, mainly their reporting of the new stadium.
I am sure Liam Rice is a nice guy but I really hope the club didn’t pay anything towards him being out in Indonesia.

I'd be quite happy with an overall crackdown on vloggers.

What was the offer our owners made to FK and when was it declined?

Why?

 

[TobyDavis34]

What was the offer our owners made to FK and when was it declined?

Repeatedly, offers were made, and there was a difference between the value of the product, the offer price, and Kassam’s valuation (presumably in increasing numbers accordingly).

Imagine you saw an item you currently rent that you wanted (and needed) to buy to make your business profitable but it wasn’t for sale. Let’s say, it was a one of a kind milling machine perfect to keep your business afloat. It was never quite finished but it still makes screws. When the previous owner sold the business to you he kept the machinery and rented it back. You get in touch with the owner. You ask if it’s for sale. He says at the right price.

You do research and find the value is around £20k. However, it’s also one of a kind so the owner has you by the balls. To get another one you’d have to spend lots of money to get it made and it’s made with rare bats and a bunch of people don’t want you to make it because they think you’ll make weapons of mass destruction with it even though you only make screws. Plus you’d have to move to a new place to house the new machine because the old one is in a shite place and nobody can get to work, because the previous owner built a Greggs next door.

As such you offer £30k.

The owner of the milling machine days “nah f**k you it’s worth £259,999” and of course that’s ridiculous so you find a new place to move your stadium and hope the rare bats and the nimbys aren’t a problem.

Of course, they are, and one of them (who doesn’t like deodorant and has a second home in Kent and also loves a niche pint) is the leader of the gang and doesn’t understand roads, so it takes forever for you to build your new facility and milling machine.

Or something

At the end of the day , Oxford fans know the k****m is a s**thole bodge job. Compared to original plans, away fans know it , vloggers know it. Everyone knows it, my biggest beef that I'd f**k off ,is the Oxford mail. I wouldn't have them anywhere near the stadium.
They've been too anti in my opinion....
The human poo story ,just says it all..

I love this post.

Sums up the whole "influencer" world for me.

Freeloading tossers who just create shite content for bored people.

tbf Stuntpegg who is in the original video with him is unbelievably knowledgable and respectful about football. She's brilliant on Sky as well. So it's definitely #notallinfluencers.

The very fact someone chooses to call themselves Stuntpegg is enough to make me think they're a twat. What's wrong with using their actual given name?

Her real name is Nieve Petruzziello, which one would you prefer to fill out on forms?

I think I’d forget to spell my own name if it was that

If it was my name I’d own it, and be proud of it, not change it to some stupid monicker, just for lolz.

Weren't you called Eric Reid on here for ages?

I know what you mean, what sort of t**t would give themselves a daft name?

And Fleetwood, Barrow, Accrington, Bristol Rovers…

All of those stadia (and Swindon's) are better than ours!!!

Horses for courses I guess.

It was Read. As opposed to Stuntpegg.
