New Stadium The Triangle - Planning (S106 Agreed)

25/09: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT Q&A POST FROM BILLYOX (CLICK TO SEE)

 

[Royalstandard74]

Yep, basically the don't like the truth.

They are a cult.

You spelt c#nt wrong.

 

[Rach]

Pretty weak looking XI that.

Defence looks feeble and capable of a few mistakes. Midfield has more holes than a cheesegrater, and the lad Middleton is already under scrutiny for not being a team player. Veteran striker Hill has allegedly had off field personal problems but he’ll be hoping, like Tony Adams, he can overcome these.

Keeper looks suspect too but is a very vocal communicator and she won’t want opponents in her box.

First time I’ve seen this team but it looks like relegation fodder to me.

My vote for post of the year right there.

Robey, Gant and Callum Miller all have university links. And are all LibDem's.

And the Lib Dems control OCC, who have given us the land, and have the biggest representation on CDC. The make up if CDC committees - including planning - reflects that, and CDC's officer recommendation was approval, and the decision at planning was approval. And they've spent a pretty penny defending those decisions.

If you've got something to say about the Lib Dems, then come out and say it. Stop hiding behind implication and innuendo.

So now they want to attack natural England just because they dont like the answer given

 

[Billyox]

It a surprise to me as well suzy
Lets look at what your solicitor said in the steps of the Royal courts of justice shortly after the hearing

"They believe that they have strong grounds of Challenge. I think it's particularly concerning the approach that natural England took to the substantial evidence that's stratfield brake is ancient Woodland. They're considering their options including appeal."

I think you're making it up suzy

 

[Billyox]

Its a great shame that this didn't come earlier

My thoughts on the LibDem's are in the LibDem thread since you asked.

National Politics Post in thread '🟠 The Liberal Democrats'

19 Sep 2025

The Liberal Democrats are the Conservative Party from the 70's and 80's. Has there ever been a more snobby political slogan than 'the Party of middle England?

They're rampant elitists, especially the Oxfordshire mob full of privately educated, Oxbridge types, sons of Lords, sons of diplomats, daughters of ambassadors, married to Baronesses etc. Theyre from such extreme privilege that they're detached from reality and ignorant to and insulated from the real world problems their decisions cause.

Some are bought and paid for University stooges who appear to be hell bent on turning...

The thing that boils my blood about all this is that the legal system and right to appeal have been put in place to protect people from misuse of the law. I.e. if a judge is doing something dodgy. It is absolutely not there to just give people more and more chances of rehashing the same stuff as a means of frustrating things.

The legal system is a right that the people have, and has been put in place and refined over time as a result of historic conflicts and rogue oppressive monarchs. It has been put there in good faith and can just as easily be dismantled if the political will is there.

FOSB, and many of these faux environmental groups, are blatantly abusing the legal system, which adds to the risk it being changed in a way that could cause potential harm to future generations.

She's saying Leigh Day egged them on?

 

[Billyox]

For me this disappointment in the design is the consistent height around the ‘bowl’ there is a lack of premium seats on the halfway line on both sides and too many in the corners. I would prefer the corners came down and the sides went up (like Brighton)

But its not a consistent height it slopes in a nod to the manor
At its highest point its 24.6m

I'm sorry but still confused. Why does Stratfield Brake still get referred to despite the site being on The Triangle? And why was the A34 allowed to be built on or near SB?

Stratfield brake is the woodland its actually known as Stratfield brake east

A34 was built before nimby was a thing when we could build what you want basically

 

[Billyox]

Im saying they knew just like us that if the hearing was refused there was a way to appeal and they was always going to appeal.
that was decided way before the hearing took place

A decent solicitor in my opinion on the steps of royal courts of justice says we will access our options and not pin it back on them straight away
every thing from leigh day from there first statement has always been they think this they think that

As a fellow cat lover, she absolutely disgusts me.

As a dog lover, this is exactly the sort of s**t you expect from cat ladies.

She's saying Leigh Day egged them on?

It’s pretty clear now reading comments on social media that people are getting very fed up and annoyed with this group of faceless North Oxford NIMBYs who hide under the banner of FOSB.

Even those who have been against the stadium are saying enough is enough, this appeal charade achieves nothing except unnecessary delay and extra costs to CDC and the local tax payer.

The appeal system is not being used in good faith , it’s being abused and I believe the vast majority of reasonably minded people can see that now.

It’s clear FOSB are feeling the heat, don’t like the spotlight being shone on them and are simply trying to claim their deliberate vexatious actions are at the recommendation of Leigh Day.

FOSB are truth phobic .

Thanks Billyox

 

[Chippy]

It’s some of the easiest money Leigh Day will ever make, haven’t got to put any more effort into fighting basically a none existent false claim, and get £450 an hour for the privilege.

No wonder they’d encourage them to take things further. They probably can’t believe they are mug enough to keep going. End of year company bonuses sorted thanks to FOSB!

Which is not necessarily a good thing

The key word here is 'could'. It's conditional. They don't say 'gives rise to', they say 'could give rise to'. The reasoning could give rise to grounds for appeal if the judge made an error, however if he didn't, then it doesn't. Lawyers and FoSB have chosen their words carefully I think.

Says it all that FoSB has declined to be on Radio Oxford. You would have thought that they would be on the radio defending their reasonings for the appeal and to drum up support?.

They don't need support. 1 sad individual can delay any planning application because of our joke of a UK legal system.

They continued to use Stratfield Brake and tree imagery in their campaign to mislead people into thinking the playing fields and woods were under threat from the stadium. You have to wonder if people really know what they donated to.

 

[trainingcone]

I wonder that certain people want the land at the triangle and the land below the Woodland to be turned into a golf course to replace the closed North Oxford Golf Club???

Remember what we are shown at the minute is just the first iteration of the stadium. Should it get built there will be ample opportunity in the future to expand it as we see fit and if necessary.

 

[Peterdev]

Interesting. It’d be good to see a 20000 + crowd there again

A34? Handy for getting about Oxfordshire.
