Kid Icarus

*Longbenton Agree though.

Ah right, haha

It's truly a forum of Kenny Seniors like, they're incredible

? They're just suggesting sensible transfers

God help us

TL;DR

Has no one come up with any concept designs since the East Stand news?

There's no way that's right, Robert got 16 in all competitions with us that season so couldn't have got 21 just in the league

His percentage of quality balls from set pieces seems very high.

It looks the part like. I know Spurs's stadium was designed with it in mind as well, but haven't heard anyone mention that it's loud.

I know that mate

I thought about it but it just seems so unlikely tbh.

Nah I meant like Total Sport and the Sports section of the Chronicle. Obviously if we were to relocate then the general public's opinion has to come into it like.

Those polls would be open to those locked out (just as I am btw) Second part wasn't brought up, I'm not sure what you mean. All of those polls would be for Newcastle fans.

I wonder if a stadium has ever been built with acoustic engineers consulted and their input given more value than aesthetics. Most modern stadiums remind me of concept cars, where they look great but are actually a pile of shit on the road.

The point was really only that that 3/10 people within the fanbase being against it is more than a peep. The poll on here has gone just about as I expected. Would be interesting to see what a combination of NUST members, season ticket holders, Chronicle readers, BBC Radio Newcastle listeners and Toon Polls votes would look like. My money would be on option 2 winning by a landslide.

A Chronicle poll of Newcastle supporters at the time. I can't find the original, but they themselves and The Athletic reference it. Obviously remember that it didn't go ahead because 36,000 people signed a petition opposing it for their own non-football reasons as well. Just one example. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/imagine-70000-capacity-newcastle-united-12772276 I think the circumstances were different. We didn't know the potential opposition there would be and the years of hoop jumping that would be needed to relocate to Leazes Park then, but we do now.

31% of the fanbase (not even counting non-football fans) opposing it at the time doesn't line up with 'not a peep of opposition' like. Totally different circumstances then as well.

I would absolutely take on board the argument of more seats meaning more access to matches for kids and people who can't afford it if there was even a slither of evidence to back it up, but as far as I can tell it's only the opposite. There being more day trippers, more VIP seats and higher ticket prices are there to see almost across the board. We've already had someone on here being priced out of their season ticket at Newcastle. This idea that it's going to help the little man seems like a bit of a fantasy.

I should say I've probably got more hard line about staying over the years for a number of reasons. SJP is for me personally an intrinsic part of what it means to be a Newcastle fan. Losing that with it never to return means potentially losing a huge part of my emotional connection with the club. Then the other factors for me are: the sterility and 'matchday experience' of modern stadiums that some people love but I can't stand. Other clubs getting new stadiums and their fans wishing they hadn't left/preferring their old stadium. Stadium moves resulting in an increase of: ticket prices, tourist fans, matchday experience gimmicks/distractions and a decrease in atmosphere

I just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's thoughts are re stadium expansion vs moving, rather than what's happening at the moment which seems to be posters on both sides of the argument thinking that they represent a majority opinion. A couple of things to bear in mind off the top of my head, but I'm sure there'll be others: Vote splitting: It's limited to 4 options to try and not split the vote, but ultimately options 1 and 2 are at present votes to stay and 3 and 4 are votes to leave. Age bias: As with most online surveys you're less likely to get the opinion of older generations but with N-O in particular it's going to be heavily Millenials (27 to 42) and Gen Xers (43 to 58) so probably won't be representative of younger fans either.

If Chelsea and Man United are the ideal two teams to be in for one of your players, Spurs and Newcastle must be the opposite

Would be interested to see what the polling would be on it like. Probably a better indicator than everyone thinking they're speaking on behalf of the majority.

NUFC Blog single handedly made it uninhabited imo

We could walk away 3,000 miles and still not get to where yous are 'around' (safety )
