General New Stadium Plans - The Triangle - Land Deal

[Concretebob]

“The turnout is unprecedented “ just goes to show he has no idea and spreads false claims. Mr Middleton, take a look at the turnout at the last poll held by the request of the people of Kidlington and the % split. This was well before Middleton lived in the area. 1987.

But I thought he was neutral?

Constant filibustering. They know we have a hard deadline so using that to frustrate the process.

Isn’t the budget for that parish council about £50k a year? So they want that parish council to burn about 14% of its yearly budget on a non binding vote on a piece of land it doesn’t own?

I think we all knew these are the most selfish in society against us but when you see it in action it’s breathtaking, I suppose bigotry is a form of mental illness though.

He just needs to get off the f**king fence and come clean. It's patently clear to anyone and everyone that he's totally ANTI-stadium anytime anywhere.

exactly that - gosford and water eaton cant afford £7000 out of their tiny parish budget, FoSB many of whoare not Kidlington residents really don't care about local parishes having to fund meaningless polls as long as they can indulge their professional protesting agenda

So by my maths on the back of a fag packet suggests the following
20% turnout
70% of the 20% were anti and 30% were pro

The headline that I get from that (excuse me if my maths is wrong)

Approximately 14% don’t want the stadium
Approximately 86% either do want it or don’t care enough to say no to it

86% loss is a proper victory for the nimbys..

If he came clean and admitted he doesn't want the stadium then I'm sure people would respect him just a tiny bit more

That isn't going to stop the OCC process which is the one that matters. More wasted taxpayer money, I hope constituents take note when voting in the future who is involved.

I'd be cautious about that.

I hope the wealthy families responsible for calling these polls fully reimburse the public purse.

Middleton is right in that sense that a turnout of 29.9 percent is statistically significant. But entirely wrong when he suggests this means that there is 2:1 opposition to the Parisi Council supporting the new stadium.

Firstly, a turnout of 30ish percent means that 70ish percent either don’t care one way or the other or weren’t aware of the vote. Either way the majority of residents didn’t vote.

Secondly, those with a strong feeling against the development absolutely DID vote. In other words, we can say with some degree of certainty that the total amount of opposition to the Parish Coucil supporting the stadium is around 20% of the population eligible to vote in this poll. Now I’m sure there’s a few more votes that could be added from people away on holiday or ill etc. But it’s not a hugely variable statistic.

So, in essence, we have a survey that has demonstrated that less than a quarter of residents eligible to vote (ie not children and young people) don’t want a football stadium on their patch. What we don’t know is WHY. Indeed what this actually demonstrates is that the majority of residents either do want the stadium (10ish%), don’t care or need more information (70ish%) to make an informed decision.

Edit: what we also don’t know is what people under the age of 18 want. As per usual the voices of the young are excluded, and this more than anything else needs to change.

theyll ask the non political KDW ( headed by so called green KP councillor Linda Ward) for a handout, these wealthy protester wont spend their own money on their vanity projects, not when there's public funds to waste on them

 

[RgYellows]

I’ve been waiting for the Quisling’s spin on things.

Of course he uses it to act all sarcky against stadium supporters and view it with success - which it isn’t.

He is using terms like statistically significant without providing any scientific data as to how he has reached that conclusion. In addition, he says the turnout is unprecedented. Well, what are the similar polls he is basing that statement against? It seems anyone can say anything these days

If I want to be known for one thing, it’s being pedantic about statistical analysis and this sample is representative of absolutely f*****g nothing, because it wasn’t randomly drawn.

Good joke

Hopefully my fear that they've been stringing us along to date is unfounded but I expect the LibDem/Green OCC coalition to change their tune significantly and reject the request for the lease.

Personally I feel they never had any intention of allowing the stadium but had to pretend to go through 'due process'.

Not now I wouldn’t. He’s nailed his colours to the mast.

FOSB made their Facebook page private some time ago so there aren’t many people who can see their post to laugh at it.

I have had a few thoughts on there today. The snobbery is truly insane from their supporters

 

[Marston Road yellow]

I seriously and genuinely think we should all be shouting from the rooftops that at least 80% of residents in Kidlington did not oppose the building of the stadium.

I think Mr Middletown’s computer’s “Cautiously Neutral Mode” must have accidentally disabled whist typing out that message

Then they will have the blood of the clubs death on their hands and it will be the end of high level professional sport in the county.

If they want Oxfordshire to be a third rate county with very little going for it then they can do what the nimbys want.

Personally if I still lived in Oxfordshire and the county council made that decision then I would move away, why would you want to bring a family up in such a blatantly anti working people environment, one that is against providing amenities for young people etc and is content with just being a retirement home for old people?
