Consider if the proposed community benefits could be provided without the involvement of OUFC or without building a stadium in the area

• How much use will local sports and community groups really get from the stadium?

• Who will fund this?  The stadium is going to be funded with money ‘from the markets’.  Investors will want a return on their investment and will want to save money elsewhere.  Will community work be the first casualty?

• Is this just another commitment that can’t be enforced when the going gets tough?

• The stadium doesn’t need to be on Green Belt to enable OUFC to continue its charity work – we have heard many times about the existing charitable initiatives the club runs in Kidlington and elsewhere.
