Nigel Hargreaves from the Football Association also supported the application, saying that it would bring together junior and senior players, amounting to 23 teams, and bring enormous benefit in fitness and social advantages to the whole community. He commended the volunteers and particularly the Chairman of Thame United and the Thame Football Partnership, Jake Collinge for their "extraordinary work over the last two years. He explained that the project had the support of two, independent Board members who bring their financial and commercial expertise to make sure that the it is managed in "an ethical and corporately responsible way."

All members of the committee welcomed and recommended approval of the scheme, although Cllr David Laver said that he would like to see more planting to provide more screening to the north and west of the site and hoped that the flood lighting would be an improvement on that at the old Windmill Road site which he said lit up properties around the ground. Cllr Lionel Morbey said that he would like to see double the number of cycle parking places to 15.

The district council has received 100 letters of support for the scheme and nine objections, the latter raising concerns about flood lighting, parking and noise from functions in the proposed marquee. Frank Thompson, TFP Communications Director commented  “we are delighted to have full backing for our proposal from Thame Town Council and would like to thank everyone for their support for this scheme over the last two years. We are fully committed in our goal to provide this facility for the town, provide a home for the senior and junior sides and be able to bring football in the community back to Thame”

The scheme will shortly go before South Oxfordshire District Council who have the final 'say so' as to whether the scheme can go ahead. But the building cannot go ahead until a housing development plan for Thame United's old ground in Windmill Road, Thame, is approved.
