quote from planning
In addition to the stadium and ancillary uses, the development will incorporate a total of 184 car parking spaces, split between accessible parking (78), standard parking allocation (104), coach bays (2) and motorcycle spaces. The site will also include capacity to secure 150 bikes. The remaining requirement (max. 495) will be available for use at Oxford Parkway Park and Ride. The Travel Plan will monitor cycle parking demand and will investigate locations for further cycle parking, if necessary.
because that was the requirement back in 1997

University influence over local politics is strong, just look at certain LibDem councillors' employment.
Alongside the safe standing section have a safe biking section. Supporters can cycle, providing further wellbeing and health benefits, whilst watching the game. Problem solved. I should be on that OUFC planning group, I'm wasted on here.

I do worry that if there was a nuclear weapons attack that getting away on pushbikes might not be quick enough

No, cyclists would be the only ones to survive, the roads would be jammed with panicking drivers

I'm annoyed with myself as I'd stopped myself from even looking at their website. I must increase my determination to avoid it like the plague!

As someone who has cycled to home games, I can vouch for this. I've attached a Google Street View screengrab of the 'bike parking provisions' below which are on the corner of the East and North Stands. I think the lone, locked up wheel sums up the security of those 'bike racks' there.
One of my comments to the designers was to ensure that any bike racks were undercover. I believe they weren't when the initial visuals were released and it is important that they are.

I know but look at the headline. Absolute wankers!

The OCC response objecting on grounds of the traffic modelling was removed but, has been replaced. The document appears to have had some editing but not much seems to have changed. This is the section which deals with the cycle parking requirements, down from 650 to 645 - no idea why that would have changed but, still really weird that they demand that many spaces.
• All cycle parking must be provided in accordance with County Council standards. It will not be acceptable to monitor the need for cycle parking through the travel plan and provide spaces later, so an objection will be raised unless a solution is identified. A minimum of 645 spaces are required, only 150 spaces are proposed at the stadium in the current application plans which is well below that number and no plans have been provided showing the form of these spaces which will need to be covered, secure and accessible. The existing cycle parking spaces at Oxford Parkway cannot be counted towards the requirement for the stadium as these are for the station. A new Cycle Hub at Parkway (similar to that at Didcot Parkway) should be provided but is unlikely to be big enough for the almost 500 spaces the club still need to find. There is space available for this next to the P&R building on Parkway, but a plan must be submitted showing this.

The likes of Steve Hill won't see it like that. It's another excuse to knock the club
I guess that the club are arguing that a high % of thr crowd will go by public transport and won't drive.
FOSB are going to try and get all of Kidlington to become OUFC supporters so maybe not so far out.

I always wish they'd be more specific in those articles. It's all very vague.
Tell us exactly what the issue is. What is 'offensive language'? Swearing?
