I don’t but I’m sure this would have been announced and the reasons given but as someone previously said I he lived near the Catherine wheel and what about residents who live in Church Road or Heyford Hill who wanted to go up toward Brick Kiln lane and into the A4074 or even to go into Brick Kiln Lane.
The council would have made a closure notice available to the residents of Littlemore and Sanford alas none was received so they probably didn’t get permission.
Woah steady on, according to Middleton, OUFC can enforce closures whenever that want!
 
On a slight tangent but I see Smith and Low on Holloway is up for sale as a consequence of Gant and co’s attempts to destroy Oxford, great little shop that I used to buy random stuff from, don’t think they ever didn’t have whatever random thing I asked for. My mate owns the garage just along the road off Holloway from it as well and he is worried about it as well. Real consequences for north Oxfords control of local councils and low voter turnouts leading to these loons being elected and forcing through policies on other areas that they don’t live.
Hopefully getting the stadium win over them is a start and not finish of victory over this nasty little cartel of NIMBYs.

We need to get these elitist Liberal Democrats out of office in Oxfordshire asap.
 
I've pointed out that it's misinformation. I don't think Middleton actually cares what his constituents think, though. I'm just praying that enough people remember his actions come the next chance to vote.
There's the problem, though. Most people (his constituents) a) don't know who is and b) don't vote at local elections.

His handful of supporters get him in due to low turnout and he's free to do and say whatever he likes.

In truth, most of us on here are probably the same with our elected councillors (if we don't live in OX5).

Not sure why we are getting blamed for this

And im not sure What was happening that end as when I came out of east stand car park we were forced to turn left as going right was closed off

Of course Middleton had to pipe up

That vile little cretin knows full well the roadworks and ridiculous and unnecessary temporary traffic light carnage has absolutely nothing to do with Oxford United whatsoever.

I don't understand how after being so wrong about everything, and having embarrassed themselves repeatedly, someone can be so arrogant and deluded as to continue mouthing off such blatantly inaccurate bullshit.

Ian, you're a slimy, meaningless, ineffective no mark. Now for the love of god, crawl back underneath the slimy little rock from which you slithered.

Great shop, like you said, if you wanted to fix anything they could get the part you wanted, I knew Brian low and he died about a fortnight ago, nice man.
 
We know you’re reading this.

Friends of Stratfield Brake, Ian Middleton, Victoria Campbell, Suzanne McIvor, Steve Hill — let’s drop the pretence. It’s over.

The Secretary of State has spoken. No call-in, no pause, no intervention. The highest level of planning scrutiny available in this country has looked at this proposal and said, in effect, “there’s nothing wrong with it.” That’s the end of the road for political obstruction.

You’ve had your say. You’ve had three years of meetings, leaflets, petitions, and public statements. Every concern has been tested, answered and conditioned. The Environment Agency signed off. Natural England signed off. National Highways signed off. The County Council signed off. Even the Government saw no reason to interfere. What more do you want — divine intervention?

So here’s the blunt truth: a Judicial Review won’t save you. It can’t re-argue planning policy, it can’t re-run the evidence, and it can’t overturn expert judgement just because you don’t like the outcome. At best, it will waste months. At worst, it will waste your supporters’ money.

Oxford United isn’t the villain here. The club has gone through the system the right way — consultation after consultation, transparency at every stage. The stadium has local backing, community benefit, transport planning, and environmental mitigation all locked into the legal agreement. It will deliver jobs, youth sport, and a new public gateway to Kidlington that actually serves the people who live here.

So ask yourselves this: what are you fighting for now? Because it isn’t the environment, and it certainly isn’t Kidlington. It’s pride — and pride doesn’t justify dragging this community through more months of bitterness and division.

You’ve lost the argument, the evidence, and the policy battle. Show some dignity. Step back, stop the posturing, and let Oxford United build the future.

The people of Oxfordshire have moved on. It’s time you did too.

Ian Middleton makes comments online just to get oufc fans going it's the only thing he has left he can offer nothing to stop the stadium he has lost and nows it.
In any other planning application ian middleton can say what he wants he can lie he can tell misinformation safe in the Knowledge that there will be no comeback from the developer.

But he cant do that in this application
His every word and every move is watched and he absolutely hates that.
But his ego doesn't allow him to stop

100 percent. I think we are going to see a lot more of these barbed comments from him going forward, now that he knows he's lost the war. At least we can just point and laugh at how pathetic he really is. How about that legacy of yours eh Ian?
 
When any little issue arrises when we are occupying the stadium (and there will inevitably be some, particularly at the start) be ready for that dipstick and his cohort to pop up at every opportunity aided and abetted by the fail. Just ignore them, they've lost and they know it. They hate being ignored more than anything else.

Ian’s legacy is the shiny new bus lane and nice wide cycle/ pedestrian path from Yarnton to Freize Way, all of which are more or less empty whenever I’m in that part of Oxfordshire. They will actually get used when the Community Stadium is built and the tax payer will eventually get some sort of value for money.

Thanks Ian, as far as mitigating any traffic issues you’ve been of great help.

Ignoring will let them spread misinformation

Oh yeah, can see a McIvor bile filled letter with "stadium noise" popping up in the Fail in the future

Exactly. His juvenile dig about the recent road closure around the stadium has seen many people (not all of which are YF posters) comment to challenge him and call him out. Leave it to fester and it becomes a truth.

We’re nearly there with it but maintaining that positivity will only grease the wheels with the local population a bit more.

I dont know about anyone else but I do hope Middleton decides to lie down in front of a construction vehicle

I think many of the doubters will learn to accept the stadium over time. Middleton and McIvor will probably carry the resentment on for the rest of their pathetic lives.
 
Who cares? It's just meaningless methane now.
Disagree @Emilio
You can’t let these people keep getting away with lies. I know that in theory anything they say is meaningless, but there is the remote possibility that a JR will go against us.
Even if it all goes through smoothly and building work begins and we finally move into our new home we should still combat the lies. We should be prepared for complaints about the building of the stadium and of course match days.
All along the club have said and us fans have said we want to get along with the people of Kidlington and we share their concerns regarding parking and some disruption on match days.Lets be good neighbours, but when Middleton and co.make unfounded barbed remarks they should be called out
