  1. that stuff can all be moved though hypothetically. It could be incorporated into the land around the new ground if we are going to be building an arena, fan area etc etc that can all form part of it and show the heritage times move on man, its a victorian bandstand that im guessing is rarely used and probably more used to hosting druggies and kids drinking blue wkd
  2. its probably been said but i cba to read through the thread Make the dick sit on gardening leave, fuck their £20 million or whatever, make sure he sits out of the game long enough to be well out of our business and 2 years behind where they wanted to be with him pricks
  3. agree with this, i was there last night as im working in Manchester and thought we were the better team overall Really liked the look of Darren Palmer, Harrison and Munda when he came on looked a really calm and collected player. Sanussi full of tricks but needs to hit the gym (again im aware he is only a youngun so plenty time to fill out) The 16 year old lad who scored the first 2 for city looks a real player, expect to see him on a premier league pitch soon Citys training ground and academy setup is unreal, all of their staff were so friendly and down to earth as well Papa Heskey was also there watching his bairn
  4. its a shame they built on the brewery site in hindsight with the helix etc that whole area would have been canny but we were taken over 10 year too late
  5. I am sure we could incorporate it into the build if it led up to the new stadium Fanzones Family Zones for picnics etc Memory garden/walk for those fans and players no longer with us Sensory spaces for kids etc Football themed playground etc etc etc it would be used all year round
  6. I do and im sure there are ways around that Plus its not the whole park, just a bit of it
  7. Loan with an obligation to buy :-)
  8. But the issues they had are the same Unable to improve current stadium due to location/footprint In need of more modern facilities including Hospitality options that bring the big money in tired (grey and dirty in our case) stadium that doesnt fit with the ambitions and aspirations of the clubs owners Clubs like Liverpool and Citeh have been able to expand on their current locations because they have the available footprint to expand and reconfigure while remaining where they are. Unfortunately for us and exactly like that excellent Buffalo Bills documentary above, the cost of renovating and expanding SJP is just not cost effective and will be more than likely prohibitive to our progress
  9. just off the top of my head these are all the teams i can think of that have had new or major major upgrades in the last 25 year UK Southampton Smoggies Mackems Man Citeh Leicester Arsenal Derby Bolton West Ham Spurs* Brighton Everton** Coventry Luton** Swansea Cardiff * built over old stadium ** coming soon Theres many more in europe built for world cups and euros which as we are host city we can surely leverage Bayern Munich? Schalke Marseille PSG? Milan are getting a new one Juve Atletico Madrid Barca Real Madrid Think we need to wake up and realise we cant stay glued to SJP and its limitations if we want to move forward
  10. We need a new stadium like EDIT: On leazes park though, nowhere else
  11. But they have a tunnel club, multiple corporate clubs and areas and sponsorships that enable them to keep those ticket prices low. They wouldnt have been able to do that at Maine Road and i would hope that if we had some oil billiionaire paying 100k for a box at our stadium then it would mean my tickets would stay around the same price it is now. BUT we cant ever expect that without a massive revamp of our stadium or a completely new stadium that is configured with all of the above in mind and tbh im leaning more and more towards that
  12. thank you, we will see what comes of it
  13. ive applied... so i hope not My thoughts on Survey and stadium are below as its a big big part of our future Survey a bit arduous but i gave honest answers, would i like a sky box or a loge (?) box? too fucking right i would but i cant afford one, however there are some that can and if i still get my seat im happy going through the survey, having been to Dortmund this season and places like spurs ground and the emirates etc my personal opinion is theres only 2 options and only 1 to me that will potentially keep everyone happyish option 1 - ive said this before, knock SJP down stand by stand and rebuild - will take a long time with a lot of disruption option 2 - do whatever it takes to build a brand new fucking super stadium on castle leazes, leazes park or whatver its called while staying at SJP in the years it takes to build. Dismantle SJP and make it into a training ground, smaller stadium for the reserves and lasses and have it as a fan park on match days if you can Ive been a season ticket holder for 34 years this year. when i first started going only the upper milburn and east stand were seating, the ground has changed dramatically and some people need to realise that i think we have reached our limit on the current site, will i be emotional if and when we leave, definitely. Will i realise its to take my club on to the next level and provide an amazing future for the club long after ive lost my faculties and my ashes are in the remembrance garden - Definitely. And once people make peace with that they will come round. For me it has to be on the Leazes area though, still close to city centre, you could even call it the Aramco Leazes park if you wish for another 100 million sponsorship money. i will still go to the city centre with my mates before/after the game, i will still sing my heart out but im starting to think the time has come to do that in a new arena fit for where we want to be competing
