dj350z 2,266 Posted March 8, 2017 We cannot afford to lose any clubs mate, but sadly in this day and age some are not running viably and you cannot keep chucking money at something for the sake of it, and give developers half a sniff and it will be gone. Times have changed mate people have so much more to do nowadays. The trouble is as more clubs fail the others won't be viable either. Won't be long before Matt Ford bails out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very true and thats why we should all worry when clubs fold. Re Matt Ford you could be right their a clever business man could get out while he still has something to sell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevueace 913 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I was always confident the new stadium would be delivered, but after reading the article in the star about the possible return of Oxford am starting to have a few doubts now. Would be great to have Oxford back but not at the expense of Swindon. Oxford along with Swindon and Coventry would be the ideal thing. These clubs certainly enhance the top league.

THE DEAN MACHINE 4,750 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Had another look in blunsdon today , nothing happening , also had a look round the new estate the back of the current home straight , some of those houses are no more than 200 metres from the big mounds of dirt that are on the edge of the carpark and the plans show that's the place where one bend is supposed to be . If this stadium gets built it's going to give new meaning to the phrase" armchair fans " Edited March 10, 2017 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midland Red 2,383 Posted March 10, 2017 For the houses currently under construction, is there a Marketing Suite/Show Home? If there is, surely they will have an up-to-date site plan? Any locals fancy having a look over the weekend to find out? Must be worth a shot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
