Think about it Tim. Part of the cost of mine and your season ticket goes to Mr Kassam - we pay him £500,000 per annum in rent and service charges. Even 0.01p of every pint I drink at your pub goes to Kassam in the form of rent. He's your landlord !

Superox we would rather get a taxi down the cowley road than walk over the kassam owned indian,we have takeaways every other day but it wont be from there, in the 7 years i have been here the hotel staff are informed not to send there residents here,when the builders/contractors book in the hotel the first thing they look for is a decent boozer,with the footy and some grub,we offer all of these,and we are friendly,but they are sent to the kings arms etc where there is no football !, we will return the favour,and a bit more !!....

Oxford city council own the priory and they lease the pub to mr kassam, i am the third party, i did work for firoka back in march 04, for 14 weeks and was offered a simple choice walk or lease the pub,so we leased it !, and after all this success for the club !!...,smoking ban,restaurants opening on the front,hotel sending all its customers elsewhere,and the grounds being a dumping site ! we are still here,thanks to your support on match day, although it came very close to going under this year,but rushden saved the day and wembley ! what a couple of games.

Are Firoka still planning to build a hotel on that "waste" land next to the Ozone?
I thought the planning permission had lapsed this year.

The hotel had planning permission back in jan 05 but lapsed but they have re applied,but have no intention of building,wrong time,prem inns £29,00 a nite,etc etc,so rats,daily dumping and travellers thats it,we levelled some of it so u lot can park may do some more soon,make more parking, the lease is a year at a time on pub,but i managed to get 2.5 years this time , i fancied a promotion or two !!!!, the pub and area,ie carpark all need major work done to it,the plumbing,electrics,ceilings,floors,all need sorting,carpark was dug up with no warning after i leased the pub,no warning,never re tarmaced !!,surprise surprise, if we carry on the landlords will have to spend £20k and i can not see that happening,that is only the tip of the iceburg,that will do the plumbing/car park,fencing around old niteclub,see what happens as we do enjoy running it, its just so fooking expensive bills bills bills !!

There was no charge for the lease it went 3 years,1year,2.5 years i think,may have missed an 1 year lease,time fles !!, the problem with short leases is that you cannot do what you want to do as you cannot guarantee the time to pull the investment back,if i got a 5 year lease we could do alot more,we may approach firoka with a view to doing all the repairs/car park and ask for 5 years,they could reduce the rent by say b£4k per year so they pay for it in the long run !!and benefit from all the improvements and still get a decen rent, we will decide next year what to do,mike,scholsie,and the staff do like it at the pub,i can leave it to them and just do the football and marquee events,spending more time with the mrs and boo !!!
