What move would mean for the Kassam Stadiumpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time

Any move to the Triangle would see Oxford United leave the Kassam Stadium, its home since 2001.
In some ways, the move there was even more protracted than the current saga.
Planning permission was granted in November 1995 and building eventually started in August 1996. But that December, builders downed tools on the part-built complex after a dispute.
Work only continued in 2000 with new contractors after deals were brokered by new owner Firoz Kassam.
Seen by many at the time as the club’s saviour, he ensured the stadium was finished – albeit with three stands – and named it after himself to provide his long-term commitment.
His company Firoka still owns the Kassam. The site is earmarked by Oxford City Council for potential housing if and when the club moves out.
