    As I said in my post, it maybe possible, but if you look at Spurs, they did this and still had 2 and a half seasons at Wembley, they arguably had more land to build more than what we will, and certainly less complications.

    I’m interested in urban developments, but my knowledge of actual construction is more lacking. At a guess, I’d say if you had the bulldozers in the day after our last game, then I wouldn’t expect to be playing back at SJP for 3 seasons at least, with a high possibility that we have to play that additional half a season or so elsewhere. Had it been a blank site, you would say 2 years - 2.5 years if they pulled their finger out. Reconfiguring Barrack Road would be a delay, so too would the Strawberry Road. You obviously have the Metro tunnels, and you can’t simply close the station and that be the end of the story, as the trains need to go into it to turn around. You also have the additional complication that we have simply built over existing structures in the Gallowgate, and Milburn end. I guess you could shorten some time by building as much as you can where the Metro station is, and getting some sort of ground works in on a bit of Barrack Road. Another complication is having the stadium too close to the developments on the other side of it, you absolutely don’t want to create a road that is too closed in by what would be high rise developments. It would block out light, make it look unpleasant, and would be similar to the urban alleyways that was typical of 60’s structures, with the potential of the social problems that comes with it. Again, I still think 3 years at the earliest.

    The main reason why I started looking for the Colts in the NFL is because of their stadium, and how it looks like a warehouse.
  4. Didn’t even try to get back either.
  5. Should brought over to his left foot for the shot at goal.
  6. I said this last week against Man City, 2 of our appeals were instantly cleared.

    Spurs’ doesn’t, however they do close off the nearby roads.

    I’m sure Spurs’ stadium is larger than the Mercedes Benz stadium.

    Atalanta’s Mercedes Benz has the smallest footprint of the newer stadium, whilst still having a larger capacity. The capacity for our football there is just over 73,000, so very much where I would expect a new stadium for us to be. It also has a semi-open end behind one of the goal lines.

    Yeah, but the first bit which outlines which parts is listed is a good thing to keep.

    There absolutely is a division though, and I’m not saying it most season ticket holders, but there is one. It was only a year ago when that young lass spent years having a go at fans who weren’t season ticket holders and taking the piss out of them being locked out ended up kicking off at the club because of the Champions League ticket prices, and how she now goes to university, has a part time job, and because mammy and daddy are no longer paying, can’t afford it.

    They aren’t, plenty of our members are season ticket holders. What we don’t like is the season ticket holders who sat there and had a go at fans who protested against Ashley, many of which are from this forum. They said to support the team, not the regime, yet say there is silence and never supporters the team. They are also very much against doing anything to SJP, because they have their season tickets, so fuck everyone else. On top of this they like to take credit for Wor flags etc, forgetting that Wor Flags stopped flag displays whilst Ashley was there, because some people who were in it, gave up their season tickets. Anyway, no one is against the season ticket holders, but there is some season ticket holders out there who like to play super fan, and do so by causing division in our support by having a go at none season ticket holders and/or those who protested.

    This is essentially what the London stadium is.

    It’s not really a realistic possibility though. We wouldn’t get away with building on that part of Leazes Park.

    If we go to a new stadium, we will get a load of backlash from season ticket holders who don’t want to move. The alternative however, is that they either pay £1,000-£1,500 for their season tickets, which they will kick off at, or they have their season tickets suspended whilst work at SJP is ongoing. There is also a possibility that they would be subjected to both.

    Is it true about the contact?
  17. The fuck was the keeper doing there?

    Aye, don’t see why we would hate the Freeman. Surely without them we would just have an urban mess of developed land, no public parks, and no hoppings, which actually enabled us to enter the competition we last won.

    Sounds like it’s a new stadium at Castle Leazes then.

    That’s one of the reasons why I have been impatient on it. As soon as Man Utd, Liverpool, and PSG sort their grounds out, both the Premier League, and UEFA will change the rules.
