Good Luck. Sooner you detach yourself from Kassam, the better.
Absolutely - detaching from both the ground (which has never felt like home) and the man himself (who has essentially hampered the club and any attempts to be run sustainably after selling us but keeping the stadium and surrounding land for himself).
I went to the old Manor Ground for my first ten years as a fan, and it's depressing to think that more than double that time has been spent at the Kassam. Just having a completed stadium will at least make the experience of going to games (as both home and away fans) better.
And to address another point made on here, we'll be maintaining and paying for the upkeep of the sports pitches and facilities for other community, youth and amateur sports clubs on fields near to the proposed development. They're currently in a very poor state as the Parish Council can't fund the upkeep understandably, and the local sports clubs are therefore very supportive of our move to the Triangle.
Despite being in the play-offs this season, there's no great optimism that we'll be going up this year. So we may well be seeing you again next season if you can get over the line with promotion. And in which case, hopefully it'll just be another couple of visits to the Kassam which you'll need to endure!
Thanks again in advance for any support with this - much appreciated if anyone is happy to do so.
