Could have been that. I've been googling for any old paper stories on it but cant find a thing. Oxpens, where the ice rink is now was the site. With its own railway halt too. Eric, do you have any views on the new (WE) verses old (Kassam) option of stadia?

Even if we stay at the Kassam stadium, which im not against! we can use the railway line into BMW where they transport cars? Could the Oxford Bus company transport the fans down the Watlington rd and then up Grenoble rd, as there bus depot is right near the railway line.

Sounds like a health & safety nightmare, that.

We spent about 25 years searching for a new ground before we got the one we now have. Over the years the club looked at Oxpens, Didcot (as part of the thankfully collapsed merger with Reading), Marsh Lane (now home to Oxford City), Watlington Road - not far from our current home), Sandy Lane (which was being proposed when Minchery Farm finally came up as a prospective site). Seem to recall Keith Cox being quite keen on Sandy Lane, but objections from Tesco and others meant it would never be viable.
Undoubtedly there are others I have missed but these are the ones that I can remember being touted over the years.

Sorry haven't read this thread in detail but is anything happening regarding the ground, seems to have gone really flat.

Sorry haven't read this thread in detail but is anything happening regarding the ground, seems to have gone really flat. I feel discussions will always happen in the background but only when there is a firm need for us to move, will it happen. Sent from my XIAOMI NOTE PRO using telepathy
