Hi, an Oxford United fan here in peace.
Our club is desperately trying to secure a new stadium site, or we’ll be homeless from 2026. I know the Kassam is held in good memory with yourselves, but let’s be honest it’s a terrible experience for us fans!
With that in mind, if anyone on here would be happy to fill in a short online questionnaire being run by Oxfordshire County Council, our fans would be massively grateful.
It only takes about five minutes or so to fill in the short online form with positive answers at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/C8O8VI/ by 23 July 2023.
The benefits to you as away fans will be:
A sustainable stadium right next door to a major railway station in Oxford Parkway (a short train ride from Oxford City Centre) and opposite a large Park&Ride site, which would make it one of the easiest, greenest grounds to get to in the UK. Getting from your side of London to the Kassam is a nightmare currently.
However the train ride from Stratford to Oxford station is only 1hr 20. It’s then only a 5 minute ride from Oxford station to Oxford parkway (next to the planned stadium site). This means a day out in Oxford before the game is actually possible. The transport links from the city centre to The Kassam are nearly non existent.
Proper drinking, food and entertainment options at the ground itself, compared to embarrassing facilities currently on offer at our current ground or nearby.
A modern, well-designed ground which will help to support a proper atmosphere, rather than the soulless, three-side ground we have now.
A few sentences on any of the above for the survey’s final comment box would be really helpful in showing our County Council that the new ground will be sustainable, increase spending in Oxfordshire, and provide excellent facilities for home AND away fans.
We all appreciate the value of a good away day, whether we’re potentially playing you in a league or cup game from 2026 onwards. Taking a few minutes to support a fellow club before it becomes homeless in just a few years would be massively appreciated. Thank you. Best of luck for this season!
