Guest Chris P Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 How much to knock it all down and build flats?. It feels in a bizarre kind of way, that's what the cockney cunts set out out to do, or is it it just a sign of over inflated times when the economy of the north east finally gets caught by all the things falling around it . The whole thing reminds me of the beginning scenes of the the likley lads when they knocked down Byker in the 70's. I hope it doesn't go that far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 They would need to get planning permission to knock the ground down and build flats - I aso think the land the ground is on is owned by the council but am not totally sure on that tbh. Either way if such planning permission was granted it = political suicide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Freemen of Newcastle / City Council. I think they have made some sort of city law that means nothing else can be built on there apart from a football stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The ground doesn't belong to the club - in the 60's they were only getting new leases for very short periods as the Council and the Club loathed each other - that's why there were no 1966 World Cup games at SJP as there was no security of tenure and the club refused to invets anything on a short lease. When Sir John came along they negotiated a much longer lease ?99 years? or longer The ground is also confined due to the Listed terrace on the east side that belongs to the University Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 City Council own the land, it actually works as a nice safe guard against any mongs like Ashley, TBH does he even know the land the stadium is built on doesn't belong to him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I ve asked this before but what happened to the land at SJP Metro Station and the old brewery site? Prime for redevelopment if Ashley acquired said land in his original purchase. is the old brewery site not going to become the new science park. i'm not sure if the club ever owned that. i thought they just owned the land where the magpie and old novocastria club was ?

Stu Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Aye, that whole area around the ground has already got developments planned for it. The new hotel (Travelodge?) behind the Strawberry & Science City on the site of the old brewery. With the Newcastle Uni Business School opening last year next to the entrance to Chinatown (which itself has been smartened up with the new gate) and the new shopping development a little further along on Percy St - the whole area from the city centre to the ground is being transformed. Prime time to develop the stadium further IMO. Council/Govt may even offer grants/subsidies for the jobs created. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime for redevelopment if Ashley acquired said land in his original purchase. He did aquire it. That is one of the theories i have heard re him putting us into Administration. He creates a new company, transfers all assets such as land to this new company and leaves only the players in the Football Company and puts that into administration.
