Far more likely I would have thought. Bluff possibly. Trouble is I can't see Mr Kassam being the easiest person in the business world to negotiate with."YF Dan" wrote:It's one thing asking about the possibility of a move/groundshare etc, it's another thing actually doing it.
There's no harm either in all three (four including OCC) parties concerned being made aware that it's an option being considered, even if it's not really.
Reasons to be cheerful

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???

'Approached' by who exactly Snaky? Sounds like a pile of horse dung to me.
Snake...is this about the possibilty of
a) OUFC moving to CPF as the ground is now
....OR.....
b)putting our resources together and building a shared stadium on the existing CPF site?
Because option B would be hard to pull off........BUT.....option B would mean the we (OUFC) are fooked!
Can you be any more specific?

A rock and a hard place spring to mind here, but it’s interesting to see that you know fuck all about this.
Good luck tomorrow in your meeting with the ECLS.

Egg Chasing because of his love of rugby league, and he claimed to be a Liverpool Supporter. I'm talking of Ian Lenagan of course.
Because Snake has emailed me some more background to this I have to assume that he doesn't want to make that information public. However I don't think I am breaking any confidences by saying that as far as I am aware nobody from either WPL or Oxford United have contacted Oxford City about ground sharing or anything similar.

As I thought, nothing concrete. Please let us not this be a site that engages in windy verbiage a la TIU. What is it now 12 'solid' pages of conjecture on one thread?
I'd rather wait to see what Lenagan Junior has to say tonight, thanks very much. PS won't be at meeting personally.

If it wasn't for fans asking pertinent questions, based on conjecture or otherwise, this club would likely not exist. Oh sorry, that's conjecture too isn't it, so it's not allowed in your Brave New World.
What exactly do you think OxVox is for if not to ask pertinent questions and determine the accuracy of stories that surface? Oh yes it's for cozying up to people in high places and acting as fund raiser in chief for the club and prime mouthpiece for Nick Merry.

We are asking pertinent questions though. It's time to get some facts from the owners re state of the club. Not go on third hand gossip.
I don't know what you are getting at with your last sentence.
