  5. Where'd that new badge topic go?
  6. He will never be dropped. Doubt we'll ever sell him either. As soon as he's available after the ban he'll get later in the season, he'll walk straight into the starting 11.
  7. Looking worse and worse as the games go
  8. Shame we can't play Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal/Man City at home and on TV every week

    St James' Park

    Yet you are advocating building a new stadium over expansion of the Gallowgate ! Nooo, I'm saying IF we had the need to expand the Gallowgate, we'd probably have need to go bigger. But we couldnt go any bigger at the current St James' anyway. Might a well cut out the middle part (Gallowgate expansion) and go straight to the bigger Factor in the costs to the returns and your idea is bonkers. I'll accept that What happens when we need bigger than 60k though? New stadium will come eventually anyway (unless something can be done about the listed building). I'm assume that if the time did ever come where we needed more than 60k it'd probably be long after my lifetime anyway so..

    Perhaps I'm underestimating our fanbase. Not convinced we'd get 60k even remotely regularly under a new owner and still mid-lower table finishes though. We've had 50,000 or more 4 times (Arsenal 50,388, Leicester 50,151, Liverpool 51,273 & Everton 51,682) out of 12 this season

    There isn't one at the minute. However a successful, ambitious NUFC is capable of attracting 60k+ crowds on a regular basis. We're at a very low ebb right now and have been for a few years but we're still attracting 50,000 to our games. 20 years ago the likes of Spurs, Man City and West Ham were pulling in 25-30k. Now Man City are filling a 55k stadium, West Ham are moving into one which they expect to fill and Spurs will have a 61k stadium in a few years. It's called ambition and foresight. On the flip side, we could only ever expand the gallowgate, adding a few extra thousand (probably to 60k or something). If we were going to expand and had the need to expand from the current 52k, we'd probably want higher than 8,000 more seats.. so a new stadium would be needed regardless No. aye No. 8,000 extra seats would be a fraction of the cost of a new stadium and with a successful and loved NUFC would be financially viable to bring in an extra £5M or so per season to pay for itself in the medium term. A new stadium would cost a fortune, almost certainly be located outside Newcastle and is just a non starter even if we had a decent team again. ..and long term? You can't do anything else with St James' once the Gallowgate is done. To fill 60,000 we'd need new owners (Man City rich) and be up in the top 4 or 5 regularly
