Is there a slope for disabled people?I love the steps down from the street. I can imagine walking down those on a big cup night under the lights.

Yes, agree.
Only the top half of the stadium will be visible from Oxford Road and only until the trees mature (it is possibleto move in fully grown trees these days). It'll blend into its surroundings superbly. A far cry from this nonsensical misinformation that was circulated by FOSB:

Given himself a nice little out there with the word ‘routine’, let’s face it, this will have been discussed behind closed doors, there’s no way the wording in the planning and from councillors is a coincidence, OCC know it would be bonkers to reject this sort of investment, so if CDC pass planning, I’m pretty confident the lease will go through at county level.The key part was 'routine road closures', which was addressed in the documentation wasn't it? Only potential closures for sell-out crowds. That isn't a 'routine closure'.
Exactly this @LeftSideLarryCan’t see it. The plans clearly state that diversions will be in place so traffic flow down the Oxford Road will be disrupted, exactly the thing that OCC have stated multiple times won’t be acceptable.
CDC may pass planning permission on the submitted plans, but it’s worthless without a lease for the land from OCC.
The planning application for the bridge is vital for the success of the overall scheme.
Anything positive about the 3500 pages?A friend has emailed me and others the “New Stadium Development Project Executive Summary” to have a look at. It took me well under a minute to spot the first misprint, and I found several others before I gave up reading.
Very amateurish. Who at the club is given the job of checking this stuff?
Done. It should now appear at the top of every page in the thread.@admin can you pin the post with the link to the actual plans on this thread please? or make it sticky
This has been mentioned a few times now and it may, indeed, be a help. Also worth noting, there is an issue with drainage on the Kassam site. The recent flooded area by F&B's and other spots will need investigating and may prove a hindrance to development in the immediate future. I would also hope that the archaeological folks would want to revisit the Priory site before it mysteriously falls down and vanishes!I wonder if this might be a helpful detail (assuming Firoka play ball), should the stadium receive planning but need a few extra months for construction completion:
"There is a restrictive covenant that was put in place by Oxford City Council when the land was first released under the terms of a Development Agreement to construct the Kassam Stadium. This requires the site to be used primarily for football until 14th October 2026. This does not provide any right for Oxford United to use the Stadium, only that football is required to be a primary use at the site until 14th October 2026."
Part of the general car/coach park area, I thought.Has anyone seen anything about secure cycle storage?
Eurgh I'm not convinced with "secure 150 bikes"
Can't please everyone. It does seem unfashionable to be positive about OUFC currently.
It's the bike owners responsibility to secure their bikes isn't it? Much like every car park has a sign saying 'park at your own risk'.
I believe there are those lockable cabinet type bike storage things at Parkway should people prefer.
I'd be more worried about my bike at the Kassam than The Triangle, we're moving to a mich nicer area and I'm certain the entire stadium site will be covered by CCTV, pretty much everywhere is now.
