cp40 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Never seen that picture before; that would be amazing, best ground in the league by a mile... It certainly would look amazing but it will simply never happen. I know, sadly not... people used to say keegan would never come back Who is going to plant a bomb in Leazes Terrace? is there enough members on here to storm it I'm probably going to be doing a PhD in Newcastle next year (starting September) so I could apply to live there and then I could be the mole on the inside? What's your PhD on? Cancer research (get me)! Unfortunately not bomb building or structural engineering, which would possibly help us in our attempt to bring it down from the inside work on concrete cancer, develop a fast acting one.... also that works on stone instead of concrete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 can we not extend gallowgate ? i know about buildings and s*** about the east stand. and i know all accross level 7 holds 15,000. so same size all around ground would be adding another 15,000 then however many more seats would be there. probably hold about 80,000 tbh. we would only sell out 60,000 for sunderland and maybe teams like man utd, liverpool etc... but we could easily give away teams 7 or 8,000 which would make it amazing for atmosphere shame nout like this will happen... Yeah it would make for a great atmosphere but only Sunderland, Man U and maybe Liverpool could bring anywhere near that amount to SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm sure I read something a while back talking about extending towards leazes terrace but only going back a small amount so they wouldn't interfere with the buildings. It could be done but it would be really weird, suppose we could just have one really steep sided stand for the craic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Is there a plot of land close-ish to St. James' that a new stadium can be built on? The brilliant thing about the stadium now is that it's right in the center of the city. If a new one were to be built, it'd suck if it was quite far from the city center.

French woman,,objected and got it stopped,. think she has now departed, god rest her soul... its too late now tho,, its st james forever It would've been contrary to the city development plan, as the area is designated as a conservation area. So it would've gone to a public enquiry whatever, which gives the final say to the secretary of state. A few people protesting against it wouldn't have made one bit of difference. There are objectors to virtually every major planning application, if they had the power to stop things nothing would ever get built. When planning applications are refused it is for planning (and sometimes political) reasons, not because of individuals protesting. But the application for Castle Leazes wasn't refused. For whatever reason John Hall pulled the plans before the process had really started. Who knows what the final decision of the secretary of state would've been, Liverpool's stadium on Stanley park was approved at public enquiry, despite local residents objecting to it. Tbh, I think it was probably pulled for financial reasons more than anything, when it became clear there was no money in the 'sporting club' idea. As for other sites. Well, the area of moorland over the road from the BBC isn't designated as part of the town moor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Still think the best bet, if we want to extend is to put the gallowgate back over the road, then the east stand build up instead of back. Stadium would be lopsided but it would at least be the same level (or as close as possible) all around. Would cost a fortune like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
