madras Posted Tuesday at 14:39 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:39 (edited) Is it not that being in London there is a lot more for them to host ? Edited Tuesday at 14:39 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having gone to many stadiums that are designed to maximize revenue SJP just isnt close to being suitable. In particular, the concourses don't allow for much in the way of commerce... food, merchandise etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we couldn’t host the NFL. The stadium set up is all wrong for it and the corporate and catering facilities are a million miles from what they’d accept.

Also - concerts - given the access points and structure for the likes of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé etc, SJP is also wrong. Someone explained it previously and why everything from location to stadium structure was ill fitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs is a 7 day a week operation because of where it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted Tuesday at 14:47 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:47 Funnily enough SJP’s great location is also a hindrance on commercials. Most football clubs can sell pints and pies to the punters as a captive market - when a football ground is in a shite location, fans will turn up earlier and spend their cash there instead of in city centre pubs. I’m not advocating a move from the city centre btw - should NUFC get a new stadium I’d want the location to remain city centre - just pointing this out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size and set up of the Sam Fender stage was done. It's as much that the North East just isn't on the circuit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's no way with a refurbishment and extensions that would change ? I'm ambivalent as to whether we move or not providing its not out of the the city centre btw. I see the advantages and negatives in both scenarios. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
