The forum would encourage all members to consider joining OxVox during this important moment in our history. See here for more information.
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)

That looks very tasteful.So when fosb moaned that the set up and take down of the road closure would take longer than 5 minutes
I fully expect the road will be closed off with one of these at both points just not on a grand scale as Windsor castle
On and there roads are closed twice a week for an hour dont think the residents moan

Who is it that does the checking. Another judge?Right I think ive finally figured out the timeline for this appeal
Fosb apply to the Court of appeal
That is then checked to see if it has any merit to proceed
If no thats it end off
That takes 2 weeks
If yes it moves to a full hearing its not read on papers again
That will take a while
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.
I thought the potential expansion was for another 2000 or so in future. Possible that this fits with the original scope of the stadium being 18,000, which was then reduced to 16,000 during the pre-app design stage.Interesting. It’d be good to see a 20000 + crowd there again
A Lord or Lady Justice of Appeal (a senior judge who sits full-time in the Court of Appeal) reviews the papers. In some instances, a High Court judge authorized to sit as an additional Court of Appeal judge may be assignedWho is it that does the checking. Another judge?
Whhhhhooooaaa hold on that is some confessionDear Suzy
Many years ago in the 80s we worked for the same company (OUP). You will know full well from those days that many of the blokes and women there were Oxford United fans. And many of those still are! Going to see OUFC is when all those ex work colleagues of yours get a chance to catch up and chat old times. Football brings that togetherness. It’s a human tribal thing. Your role in the company was in a way keeping that harmony. OUP was an incredible place to work for. Memories that come together at the football ground. And in particular many workers came from Kidlington, Jordan Hill and Wolvercote. So there has historically been a very strong base of Oxford fans in the area. Now we have their families coming along, many from Kidlington. So many years of history. It’s almost like Oxford is coming to the fans home now.
So please, have a long hard look at the emotions and history and future this club has had and can have with this stadium and the joy it will bring to local residents.
Thanks for reading.

OxVox's Paul Peros gives his thoughts on the latest stadium development to Gemma Hill.www.bbc.co.uk
Greatest or respect to PP, but how convinced are we that this can be done ‘inside two weeks’? That would be magnificent if it can be done in that time.
Also, first mention of an ‘extension’ to where we currently play from PP too. Hopefully that can be arranged too. We’re going to need it, I feel.
So they have 14 days to file papers and then the CoA have weeks to make a decision whether to quash the claim or move forwards?Right I think ive finally figured out the timeline for this appeal

No FoSB have already filed the papers - the 14 days is the time permitted for the 'gate keeper' to decide whether to allow a full appeal.So they have 14 days to file papers and then the CoA have weeks to make a decision whether to quash the claim or move forwards?
So when you lodge your appeal its a maximum of 3 pages setting out why you think the judge was wrong so its not like the 1000+ pages the last 2 judges had to readGreatest or respect to PP, but how convinced are we that this can be done ‘inside two weeks’? That would be magnificent if it can be done in that time.

Fingers crossed, they'll conclude the 2 Judges have made no legal error and throw the whole thing out - for good. (with no full appeal allowed)
Sorry to be a pain but we have to be factualMrs L has got so consumed with everything stadium/FoSB that she has taken to AI and produced the following. She is quite chuffed with her efforts!

Phew I didn't want a argument over whether is was probably maybe could be might be ancient or just woodlandMrs L approves!
Woah, I never knew that! My grandad lived in Jericho and worked as a compositor at OUP from the 20s to the 50s. Although an Oxford City fan, he would be turning in his (North Oxford Cemetary) grave now if he knew what was going on, especially after Brasenose College made City homeless.Dear Suzy

But she is such an angel. Never an argument chez Lounger.(if I know what's good for me!)Phew I didn't want a argument over whether is was probably maybe could be might be ancient or just woodland
This is the part that worries me somewhat, looks like FoSB were ready to walk.
Leigh Day persuaded them otherwise, they must have something to take to the table.
Yeah… another bill that they could charge the dumb bastardsThis is the part that worries me somewhat, looks like FoSB were ready to walk.

It's classic McIvor spin. She's known for it.This is the part that worries me somewhat, looks like FoSB were ready to walk.
