@swissyellow My mum has two gerbils. She names them after Oxford players - over the years there's been some ranging from Aldo, Beano, Jim, Alfie, Cam, Sam...
Shameless plug here but in times like these, strength in numbers tells. It showed with the work carried out on the stadium project.
Please consider joining up as an OxVox member, it does really matter.
We will also have spaces available on the committee following the AGM #oufc
@Join_OxVox following the club statement you need to make it abundantly clear to the club that this situation is unacceptable to the fans. No signings til Jan as they can't prove they have the money, it's just laughable.
๐๏ธ Another delay. Another attempt to block progress.
I've just heard about the FOSB campaign group who have launched a legal challenge against Oxford Unitedโs new #OUFC stadium project despite the project already being approved through the proper democratic planning process. Letโs be clear: this is nothing more than a delay tactic.
This application has been scrutinised for years, more so than any other project I know of in #Oxfordshire, with extensive consultation, expert reports, and a decision taken by elected councillors. Yet instead of respecting that outcome, a small group is now trying to drag it through the courts, raising issues that have already been considered in detail.
I sincerely hope this legal challenge is thrown out swiftly so the club can get on with delivering a project that Oxfordshire needs.
The reality is simple. Oxford United needs a new home. Without it, the long-term future of the club is at risk along with the jobs, investment and opportunities this once-in-a-generation project will bring to our area.
Whatโs particularly striking for me is the irony here. The same voices putting huge energy into trying to block this stadium are largely silent while Kidlington is being surrounded by thousands of new homes through the Cherwell Local Plan proposals backed by the very same councillors.
And it doesnโt stop there. Some of the very councillors raising concerns about occasional match day road closures, that will be in place for safety reasons, were more than happy to support congestion charge measures in Oxford that restrict everyday journeys for all residents.
Residents deserve consistency not selective outrage. We cannot allow a cycle of delay, uncertainty and costly legal wrangling to derail a project that has overwhelming support and real benefits for our communities.
