Other Uses

John Kelly, County Emergency Planning Officer for Oxfordshire, confirmed in an interview with BBC News 24 that the stadium would be used under emergency powers which exist under contingency plans for the partial evacuation of London. The stadium provided accommodation for those having to be evacuated from Abingdon during floods in 2007. Each year the stadium plays host to the Oxfordshire Senior Cup final run by the Oxfordshire Football Association. The stadium has also hosted an Under-17 international football tournament and an Elton John music concert.
