I think the new Oxford ground should have an actual library, so that when away fans chant "Is this a library?" the home fan(s) can respond: "It's over there. It's over THERRREEE. This isn't the library-- that's over there!" Might be a problem when they play Reading...

It’s called an ant farm.

It took Deportivo La Coruna until 1996 to build a fourth stand and this was 51 years after they started to play at the Estadio Razor in 1944.

Thankyou StuntPegg for this video.

Easy transportation connections, proximity to fans, and four stands are a must. You don't want your stadium so far from your own supporters. But one thing I'd say is particularly important is making sure it's got a little character and isn't just a dull generic modern stadium.

The forth stand could be a giant pie, without any pie shops.

Have a opening song of "I'm still standing" or "Don't go breaking my heart" now they've promoted.

The seat pitch at Loftus Road is no joke. Makes you dream of Ryanair.

Like the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, they should get artists to come up with things to take the place of the fourth stand.

StuntPegg to the Kassam! Oxford fans rally, and I’ll say something like what I said under Sam’s video: it’s probably not the worst stadium by any metric, but has occasionally felt like it, fortunately we’ll probably be out of there in a few years - the smell is sewage by the way and it is one of the worst parts but not appalling. I’m overjoyed that we’ve had a promotion and hopefully it propels the stability and attractiveness for players. Edit: suggestions for new ground, we’re tired of being made fun of on twitter so we need five stands, that’ll show em. I do genuinely agree with transport links though, transport to Kassam is bogus.

what about a big giant net to catch the balls and a swimming pool when its really hot

Really loved how you embraced your silly side with this one 🤣 you and Robbie is a dangerous combo

A pivotal addition would be the UK’s largest triangular shaped jumbotron in place of the 4th stand. Along with a live Ox mascot named Trinity who grazes pitchside. Finally, an attached pub beneath the jumbotron that is named “The Pythagorean & Theorem”

You have a "Wilson" volleyball (Castaway) - Awesome, you have it all :)

Your funny and entertaining Nieve. I like the cut of your jib. Also, the acoustics have to be scientifically arranged so that the atmosphere is as intimidating as possible. Oxford United seem to have done the exact opposite of that! Oh well.

Fun fact: the singer of Lady In Red, Chris de Burgh, is from Oxfordshire and is a huge fan of the U’s. So Nieve was spot on with the musical choice. Plus apparently he was also my biological father. So this hits on many levels. This was all according to my mum. She’s dead now, so I can’t ask her if any of this is true.

Oxford it self is a run down and specially where the football stadium is, it’s only the colleges in the centre of Oxford that bring the tourists it’s an expensive place to live poor roads and a council that don’t want to listen to what business owners around Oxford and want and need,too many roads shut to the traffic,it’s one big traffic jam. Where they want to move the stadium is a better area but it’s all ready a bad traffic jam

I took a detour off the M40 to take a look at the Kassam Stadium at the start of May 2006,several days before Oxford fell out of the Football League upon losing 2-3 at home to Leyton Orient amid a frantic multi-cornered last day relegation scrap as Torquay United pulled off a dramatic escape from a seemingly hopeless position just a month earlier and a batch of North West clubs like Stockport,Rochdale,Bury and Macclesfield,plus Notts County,all got themselves out of peril at the last. Rushden & Diamonds were already down,their five-year Football League adventure over. It looked a neat little ground then,with the blue glass in the main stand building,but it had that wooden fence with a car park behind it then and I'm flabbergasted that nothing's been built there since. I thought they simply couldn't afford to build a fourth stand at the time and were relieved just to get the stadium building project finished after it sat getting rained on half built for two or three winters. It looks like years of neglect has made the place tatty and shabby. It's near the notorious Blackbird Leys estate,scene of rioting in the early 90s. In a city where town v gown used to exist in different worlds,kept - deliberately,it appeared - apart by a vicious ring road hard to get across between the university and town centre and the five estates (Blackbird Leys the worst,then Barton by all accounts,Headington middling or better) surrounding it in different directions on the outskirts,perhaps the reason why transport links are so poor is to keep people away from there!

My only desire for a new stadium would be no open corners for wind and rain to get in. Wimbledon Centre Court roof would also be a snazzy addition. And extra space around the perimeter of the pitch for players to launch Delap-style long throws. Maybe that's enough.

Craven Cottage was perfect because it used to have a view of The Thames. Back in the 70's, when I first went there you could even paddle in the river at the back of the stand if/when the game got boring. Sadly, the new monstrosity of a stand - still not fully opened after two years - blocks all the view of the river. So you're stuck watching the football, no matter how bad it gets.
