ponsaelius Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I don't think Spurs stadium acoustics are good at all. It felt absolutely impossible for away end to make any noise carry when I was there, and home end wasn't much better. The hotdogs were great though.

Mountain Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I think 80K has to be the target, no point going to all that bother just to add 20 thousand more seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I think we are missing an option. I'd like to stay in Newcastle, but I'd be happy to move outside as long as it was north of the Tyne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Pay SAFC an extortionate amount to go there for a bit while SJP is developed so they have to accept our 'blood money' and play European football, selling it out for a year or two. Then all down to the Seaburn Stack in our gravy stained shirts to celebrate. Edited June 25, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all North Tyneside is home to the hardest and most fervent mags about. Just ask the mackems when they got chased into the Tyne by North Shields finest. North Tyneside council loves selling off the green belt so planning permission won’t be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The unique thing about your ground is that it is right in the city centre. I don't think you realise what a difference that makes to the way a club feels to its city, especially as you are a one club city. You'd be fucking nuts to piss that away and move to some enormous bland-o-dome in the middle of nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomYam Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 So many people talking about moving the club to Leazes Park. This is completely unfeasible (as it should be) as it has national protection due to being Listed and in a Conservation Area. Building a new stadium on Castle Leazes, however, is possible because the Freemen broadly supported such a proposal in the mid '90s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make United both clubs moved from their previous locations Newcastle East End were at Brough Park I believe,not sure where the West club was so a precident has been set. Our origins began in 1881 in Byker with Stanley FC/Newcastle East End. In the demise of Newcastle West End FC, the club moved into (the superior) St.James's Park in 1892 and changed the club's name to Newcastle United. Like other upwardly mobile clubs that simply had a name change or stadium move, our inception date should be when the club was formed - 1881. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a new stadium on Castle Leazes, however, is possible because the Freemen broadly supported such a proposal in the mid '90s. Very true, also instead of building an arena like Sir John wanted, the current SJP could become an extended regenerated Leazes Park. Leazes Terrace would have views over the new park and we could have a Wembley Way going through it to the new stadium, the current land at St James metro could house a new fanzone and huge club shop. This sort of regeneration would be a great project for PIF and give the city centre a new bigger park right on its door step. Change can sometimes be good if St James is deemed not feasible for redevelopment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) I don't think the owners would consider any move beyond the current location. The city council too would not want us to move as it will have an impact on the city's economy in some way. Hence, if there is a need for a location for any new stadium, compromise will be made for an SJP land and Leazes Park exchange. Moving elsewhere is a non-starter for any parties.
