Oxford Utd - Given the go-ahead

[BorosMyHome]

This evening to build their 16000 new stadium. Very easy to get to for away fans.

They've been in their current stadium for less time than we've been at the Riverside. What's the story?

I was wondering about that. It says they will probably turn the Kassam stadium into housing. I remember they had problems building it.

 

[TeaCider]

They don't own the Kassam and apparently aren't able to renew the lease.

They don’t own the Kassam and the lease is coming to an end. It’s also in a rubbish spot and the landlord won’t let them build a stand behind the goal!

Oh yes, I recall now the ground grading requirements in non-league had to be revised to allow Oxford to play in the conference when they were relegated, as they only had three stands.

Weird, seems to be costing a fortune and still only relatively small. Wonder what the Kassam landlord plans to do with it.

It's way out of town, but at least there is a local train station nearby.

bizarre - because what else is the landlord going to use it for? It'll be dormant now like Darlo's stadium.
