And yet other major cities manage just fine with crowds several times the size of what ours would be, with central town/city locations and with no more public transport options than we would have. To assume that all 7,000 people would be using the park and ride is far fetched. Some would drive and park, some would use the train, some would walk, some would use existing bus routes etc.
To think that a major city like Oxford couldn’t cope with 7,000 football fans once a fortnight is nonsense.
No more rent. I don’t want us to move to anywhere not owned by the clubExternal revenue may not go directly in to the club, but it could allow the club to pay a minimal rent (DC United pay $1 a year) as well as being able to pick up all match related revenue. That could immediately make us around £1m a year better off. The idea that anyone will gift the club all the associated revenue on top of a brand new stadium is ridiculous, but that doesn't mean that we won't get a much better deal than we currently have.
