Guessing a combination of fear of the nimbies and fans voicing their opinions they don’t want to walk a few hundred yards further and maybe less red tape I’d imagine. I’m surprised by it TBH. Predicted it to be close to Leazes areas but not that close. They say it will be higher. Wonder if the lower tier would be below ground level.

Tell me what you would like which you think is more sensible?

I’ve not said you can’t have opposing views? This option isn’t even the one I want But having listened to a broad range of feedback on here and elsewhere I honestly think the club have made the most sensible decision if indeed this is the one. Its as close to the current site you could ask for so much so it overlaps so no change to anyone’s match day routines. Its 20% approximately bigger so hopefully that will allow future generations into the ground more regularly at a lower price point than an expansion would and on the flip side put to rest fears from some we couldn’t fill 75/80/85k regularly. It allows the club flexibility for their corporate adventures which will all help to keep the ticket prices lower than they would with less corporate opportunities. It also gives the chance to reconfigure the fans who want to be together and offer better acoustics hopefully leading to a better atmosphere. Hopefully it will attract people to visit our lovely city with other sporting and music events which is great for the City. Finally it would hopefully give us a couple of scoreboards for the VAR decisions for everyone to be able to view. I’m not sure there’s a box they haven’t ticked with those plans in that report. That encompasses everyone’s views. So I’ll repeat I’m glad the club has seen sense and I hope the fans do to. I’ll also repeat it’s not the option I would’ve went for but overall I’m happy to accept it. Not sure how it came across obnoxious? I certainly didn’t mean to 👍🏻

I’m surprised they are thinking of overlapping the stadiums. If however they think it’s the only option that will tick the locality box and face minimum opposition then fare enough but can’t help feel they are having to make the project less ambitious. Anyway like you say it might not even happen as shown.

I’m not being an arse. Just shake my head at people moaning about the shape of it of all the things to consider! Big change in location, worse views and acoustics or locking out future generations and effect on the City in general etc I’m all for a debate. All the things that matter to the match going fan and those who spend their time in the city that would be effected, particularly a regular one should totally be on the table. If I was being an arse I’d say why do you care what shape it is when you don’t go to the games even when offered tickets. That would be being an arse. But I didn’t So… Whats the problem with the stadium being a bowl shape? That was my question.

What you moaning about?

Glad the club have seen sense. Now we just need some of the fans to 🤞🏻

Dragusin out for season possibly? Sure I heard that somewhere.

Doubt they will. If we go from 53k to 70k I reckon it be split around 7K corporate and 10K membership or vice versa.

He’s passed it already.

I understood it but then I took the time to read it properly without knee jerking. I’m sticking up for us oldies

I’d be tempted to also.

Obviously if injured then yes. You’d of thought Longstaff due to the size of the occasion but Miley has been getting ahead of him slightly of late.

The main decision is the centre halves. The rest of the team as we all know picks itself.

Initially I think they thought it be a little toothless and involve fines. Then when it showed its teeth I think that’s when reality set in but we’d already spent big first 3 windows and tried to rebalance without losing any purples. We’ll be back on track with plan b this summer.

Why not cut out the middleman?

We ain’t taking this approach to lose a purple.

That’s a reference point for Spurs. We announced 1000 STs with a strange criteria clearly and I dare understandably due to circumstances but then did the same with the Final tickets last time. Just find it strange they’d cut off a revenue stream amidst selling players left right and centre. Just my hunch anyway 👍🏻

Just need West Ham to do us a favour

Let’s worry about Arsenal first

Like I say there’s maybe nothing in it and it’s £10 wasted. Why do you think they had a cut off point for the Mags+ and not standard memberships?

Farewell sweet prince…

No perfect formula. You had your chance to upgrade. They publicised the cut off point a few times. Might be absolutely nothing in it but if you are going to waste £10 this year I’d of recommended this was what to waste in on just in case. My other thought is the offer of Season Tickets in future for new ground and this season is the historical cut off point that they include in the criteria.
