Isn't the ball gonna go over the fence all the time? Could we be seeing the 4th stand then Mr.Firoka?

Does this mean less money for Oxford United to pay out now they are ground sharing 50/50 ?
More than likely the ground will be sub-let to London Welsh, so Oxford United will pay exactly the same for the grounds but will have additional income from the sub-let to offset.
