"Even aside from this impending deadline, the current stadium is used by the club on a restricted lease basis, by the number of games," Dodds writes, adding that the women's team has to play elsewhere despite its success. She goes on to say that issues relating to the current stadium "would have been ameliorated had the government's Football Act been in place", which gives the independent football regulator powers to perform stronger tests to stop rogue owners.The complex is expected to include a 180-bed hotel, restaurant, conference centre and community plaza.Dodds called the club "a critical source of pride for Oxford and Oxfordshire as well as contributing massively to our local economy". "If the plans are not approved speedily by the Secretary of State, all of this is at risk, given the impending danger of the end of the current lease (never mind its unsuitability)," she adds.The BBC understands the club has been told to expect a decision by 16 September.The government has been contacted for a comment.You can follow BBC Oxfordshire on Facebook, X, or Instagram.
