Very interesting comments in the Oxford mail today from Daryl Eales, basically saying he wants a meeting with Oxvox, both the councils and Kassam to try and get things moving forward quickly whether it's buying the ground or moving to a new ground, he's saying it's holding us back and needs sorting ASAP, think this needs to happen, just hope Eales doesn't lose patience and walk away, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but is significant in my eyes, Eales is obviously losing a bit of patience IMHO - Thoughts please.....

It's not a joke, could be a pivotal point in the history of OUFC.

It's not a joke, could be a pivotal point in the history of OUFC. What's funny is that this is at least the third thread on the subject. Why not check first? Much more sense if we can all discuss in the same thread. After all, it's a pivotal issue.

There's one called "Darryl Eales" and there's another called "Interesting Chairmanship Notes Today"

Not many comments on it considering the importance of his statement.... - Could and will be the tipping point

What happens over the stadium in the next twelve months will be decisive. Do we progress with Darryl and consolidate as an excellent provincial club in the Championship? Or do we slide back into the conference, with tiny gates and no proper youth policy? Point your prayer mats towards Monaco! Please be decent, Firoz........

I agree with Darryl the club needs to own the ground as I don't feel a community deal with truly benefit the club, not knocking OxVox's attempts to push things forward but just my opinion.

Well maybe u could come up with a plan as to how that will happen if like firoz has said he won't sell to any individual.

Surely that depends entirely on the terms of use of the stadium for the club. If (for example) the rent was nominal, that would benefit the club by 500k per year. It would also have the benefit that no future owner would be able to sell the stadium seperate from tbe club.

If all the details of the community bid are known together with the ongoing contractual details then I may change my mind but based on what I know currently that's my opinion

From the clubs point of view transferring from one landlord to another makes no difference, surely a community project will still need to make a profit (to cover maintenance/improvements etc) so no preferential rates for OUFC hence my opinion?

Why will it need to make a profit? As you say, all it needs to do is cover costs.

Seriously read the thread I'm not going over it again when so many people have explained why it's the best option, including de who described it as a fantastic opportunity.

Don't worry I'll wait for OxVox to clarify in the absence of any factual info forthcoming.

I don't think that it is too difficult to work out how your opinion is likely to be very wrong. Look through this thread and the Oxvox notes to get an idea. Absolutely certain is the fact that Oxvox are not doing all of the work they clearly are to leave the club in a position that 'makes no difference'

Absolutely certain is the fact that Oxvox are not doing all of the work they clearly are to leave the club in a position that 'makes no difference' I'm sure your last sentence could have been said when Nick Merry signed the stadium rental agreement, I'm sure he never thought it wasn't a step forward so whilst I appreciate what OxVox are trying to achieve until I see all the facts I will remain cautious. It's not a case of me being wrong just not sure how this will all fit together to suit all parties.

Why don't you team up with highlandyellow? You could be the new Peters and Lee. FFS, Merry was (is) a conman.
