There is also the soon to be free Kassam. Not too much information about what the owners want to do with it. Also can't remember how much surrounding land there might be for development.
Not sure about the Kassam. who, even though he sold the Club, he owns the stadium and surrounding area. Appears he wants to knock it down and develop more "Leisure" facilities.
Also a bit of a wind tunnel effect because of the "missing" stand
Oxford are in a tough place (as many clubs are). The old stadium is not fit for purpose hemmed in as it now is, and certainly not for rugby. Take a trip there and see for yourself (it isn't so far for me and I have been there a few times for work). But, despite many proposals, the roundball team have no alternative ground lined up. You would think the local council would help, but that does not appear to be the case, forcing them to look just outside the city boundaries. Unfortunately, a lot of the greenspace around Oxford is not available for any change of use, and their only hope is to the North of the city, but I cannot see that coming off.
I think that a Wasps fan(maybe?) (and maybe also he is on here) is senior (was one of the secretaries) for the Leamington 'Brakes' roundball team (showing how old I am, I used to watch them when I worked at Automotive Products (eventually becoming a manager in the Lockheed brakes division), when the club was officially still the 'works' team (playing at the Windmill). He is adamant that the proposed Community Stadium in Warwick is just for (only to be used by) the footie team. But, despite much effect by WDC, no development partner has been found (i.e., no-one wants to pay for it). WDC have remained VERY tight lipped about it, with no progress reported. The fact is, most of the rest of the site is now in various stages of progress (some even completed). The footie team have no money, no surprise there, and time is running out for them at their current ground.
Would Wasps play at Sixways? I really hope not. I would be loath to go there, it would not feel right. Given the timescales involved, Wasps must be looking at an existing stadium very short term, and medium term must be looking at a new ground and site that already has outline planning consent and the support for the local council. They also mention alternate income streams, which also points to a new site.
