He uses his own but sometimes others.

Isn’t that right, Stuart S./Ian?

Indeed!

Also it's quite worrying how he considers borderline racism "tame"

 

[Scotchegg]

I know it's far from guaranteed but it will be incredible if we get to the final to see thousands of fans on the platforms of Oxford, Parkway, Bicester and other train stations as Oxfordshire going to Wembley by public transport.

We really will be Oxfordshire United!

He's just boring now.

 

[Concretebob]

He's just boring now.

You're suggesting he was once interesting?!?!

 

[Billyox]

His sole purpose of this post was to antagonise us to to try and get some kind of response out of us to justify why this letter was sent in the first place. He's even put a link up to this forum to try and get others to read it if anyone does click the link they will be surprised to see a likeable bunch just trying to safeguard the future of the football club they support

 

[Sarge]

Thousands of people are absolutely buzzing for the play offs now their beloved club are playing in them for a spot at Wembley.

Yet a few hundred nimbys want to destroy all this.

that many?

 

[Concretebob]

that many?

Ok a dozen or so

 

[Sarge]

Ok a dozen or so

agree, about that many opponents- most of them not in Kidlington too

I get genuine concerns from some residents re parking and the like, and they should be listened to and addressed, reality is those, in the greater scheme of things, 'minor' ( not minor to those it affects of course) traffic issues are relatively easy to sort out. Though until planning permission runs its course, those in a position to address and sort out minor traffic issues, wont be putting any proposals forward for consideration - hence, the dozen or so NIMBYs preying on concerns and scaremongering to gain support for their narrow agenda of naysaying

 

[Yellow River]

The fact he has pontificated over an answer and deflected a lot of blame onto OUFC supporters and threw in a few wild accusations says a lot.

Indeed, playing it down, a lot of bluster and blame deflection. Just what you would expect from Cllr Middleton, local folk deserve better from their representatives.

I suspect Middleton and fosb chums know who sent the racist hate mail letter.

They definitely know who sent the letter. There's only a few people with that writing style.

I agree with all of this. Road closures or parking issues are a real concern for locals, and there will always be horror stories and lies that will increase their fears.

Appropriate traffic management plans, as seen at every event up and down the country, and free to use permit parking zones will address 90% of these issues on day one, with further improvements as everyone adapts and changes traveling habits.

I still think that the club/stadium team missed a trick in not addressing these issues more clearly at the launch event or in the months since (OUSP made our views clear on this!). But now that we are in planning there will be the opportunity to set the record straight and commit to making the stadium friendly to supporters and local residents alike.

Nearly all other objections are based on lies, stereotypes and a nimbyism that makes them barely worthy of a response.

Can we please have the stadium banner at the game on Saturday night!

Would be a missed opportunity not to.

 

[Marked Ox]

She has commented, I’d call it mildly supportive with a touch of fence sitting

I thought it was pretty balanced tbf.

 

[Marked Ox]

My biggest concern this that I can't see any document addressing the nuclear waste transportation issue that caused so much concern earlier in the process.

Hopefully that will be added later.

It's alright, the club will use FoSB's 'independent' environmental expert's resident Snow Leopards that are there but she hasn't seen them or they might be there to protect everybody.

I believe there should be a trial period of several months with managed pedestrian road crossings from Oxford Parkway to the stadium with a clear legally binding promise form OUFC to build a suitable bridge if everything is as awful as the objectors claim it will be.

In my view the local concerns are genuine, no doubt there will be a few teething problems, but in time motorists will get used to the short diversion (in distance and time) via the underused Frieze Way and will wonder what all the fuss was about.

Partial, temporary road closures will be exactly that. Buses, taxis and emergency vehicles will still be able to get through, the closures will be for high attendance matches only and around 30 minutes before and after those particular matches.

Quite frankly a bridge will be costly and is not necessary. Any ‘green’ conscious council should realise that.

If it needs funds I'm in just shout

 

[holdsteady]

if and big if we can get to the final we can really show how parkway will cope with 0000s of ox fans going to wembley by train and if we can all just cross the round at least once all together that would really shut them up

When we played Barnsley at Wembley, pre parkway and Oxford station line being open, I was in the queue at Parkway and it was incredibly well mannered except for some very posh north Oxford type woman shouting at people as she pushed through claiming she had to meet a friend at Bicester Village, everyone just let her through while shaking their heads at the lack of manners.
