In reality this is not the single most important question (the question of ownership of the stadium, peppercorn rents, protections against club and stadium being separated etc are clearly the single most important questions to answer), but the one thing I would like to ask at this stage would be about planned proximity of the stands to the pitch.
I know it might sound premature, or a small issue, but I feel very strongly that this single issue is critical to the stadium having the right 'feel' when it's built.
Also, if we don't get this right in the blueprints early, then there's the possibility that we lock ourselves into a design that we're not happy with. Five years may feel a long way off, but designs are likely to be underway as we speak.
I would like to see the front row of the stands as close to the pitch as is humanly possible. Not 'close' by the standards of other modern stadia (a good few meters behind the ad hoardings and the space for stewards), but close by proper British football standards i.e. In touching distance (metaphorically of course, unless we're talking about Matty Taylor, then it's literal!)
Let's be creative. We know that ad hoardings are now crucial for income, and that having space for stewards is presumably important for getting safety certificates etc signed off, but can Oxford United lead the way with a new design? I'm assuming that these are the usual problems with having the first row of seats on top of the touchline. Can we incorporate the hoardings themselves into the front of the stand itself? Can we find a creative way to find space for the stewards, without having to leave a massive gap for them to patrol?
Watching the Spurs vs Chelsea match at the moment, and as nice as the new Spurs stadium looks, I can't help notice how far away all the fans are from the pitch. If we're building something from scratch, let's not repeat the mistakes of other new football stadia in this country. Will the club support the fans with this?
