I just hope the club don’t get so desperate that throw-ins get sponsored by some other cheapskate one man company poncing on our horrible predicament.

Re:
On the other hand, if the club gets really desperate for cash, perhaps we could sponsor them to play well. So we could have "Corners that clear the first defender, sponsored by SmileyMan Global Enterprises", or "Passes along the ground from defence to midfield, sponsored by RageOnline"
'Throw-in' is most definitely a compund noun, so the plural is 'throw-ins'. As for whether 'workers' should have an apostrophe when discussing their rights, it's a moot point, since my minions don't have any!

Re:
Talking of naff and desperate measures I got confirmation today that Oxford City have been approached in regard of ground sharing with Us at Court Place Farm, which is just madness, imho.[/quote]
Is this REALLY true??
I am not calling anyone a liar, buti if this is the stage we have got to then 'questions have to be asked'..........Please, Please tell me that this is a joke?
Are you sure it's not about having somewhere to train if we completely fall out with Milton???

How funny that this rumour of ground sharing should appear today, as it was during today's match that I was thinking about the implications of taking football away from the Kassam. Isn't there a covenant on the Stadium that football has to be played there?
I was thinking (to enlighten you all into the workings of a mad mans mind!) that, if I ever became a man city esq billionaire then I'd buy some ground around oxford, build a little but managable stadium. Then I'd buy OUFC and move them there, screwing Kassam and leaving him with a big, rotting, worthless pile of crap for a stadium which "must have football at it" according to his deal with OCC.

Thanks.
Re:
As nice as that plan sounds Meister it wont 'screw' Kassam.....the rule about having a football team there would be obsolete if we had another ground, much like the covenant that the Manor must remain a sports ground was overturned."recordmeister" wrote:How funny that this rumour of ground sharing should appear today, as it was during today's match that I was thinking about the implications of taking football away from the Kassam.

In view of the need for 'Brown Belt Buliding Sites' in the south east it could be just what Kassam is hoping for right now.
Some interesting points here (if you ignore the twaddle) suprisingly enough on T.I.U.

YES YES YES......I know how unlikely that sounds but please...........go with me and read it?

"For the first 25 years following completion not to use [The stadium] other than for the primary use of football league matches (or matches to the standard approporiate to the seniority from time to time of the lessee football club) and ancillary use for rugby matches and other ancillary uses authorised by planning permission."
It doesn't even mention Oxford United and refers to a lessee footbal club. We already know that the club doesn't have a lease but has a licence. Even if you put those two points aside once the club are unable to pay the rent the covenant is meaningless because if we can't afford to pay the rent then no other footbal club in Oxfordshire could unless somebody was to do another Franchise FC.
