wyn davies Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Quite happy to move stadium just up the road , at the end of the day it's all about whether it's cost effective to stay and improve and the answer is no it isn't. 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.

Kid Icarus Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 17 minutes ago, Wandy said: These polls are always dubious but even that one shows that more than twice as many people were in approval than those who were opposed. I think the club caved in far too easily back then. If anything now though, the "friends of the park" lot have been more receptive to the move, providing that the club do their bit in bringing the park back to it's former glory. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other sizeable portion of the support who are now locked out may have a different view on it IMO. I don't really give a monkey's what anyone outside of the fanbase thinks about it anyway. Their opinion is irrelevant, it's all about what the support wants that counts here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 If money really was no object, I'd like to see them put a temporary stadium (apparently some of the stadia from Qatar can be used) in Castle Leazes, flatten the current SJP and then build the best ground in the world in its place. I honestly think that with the ambition the owners have, 60k will be nowhere near big enough and we need to be looking at 70k+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the club always shows the ambition to punch its weight, we'd always fill a stadium of that size for league games.

OpenC Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) We need a sub-poll to see what the 2s will do when the club says nah, the Leazes Terrace thing is legit and we can't do fuck all about it.

The general public will have their say, and there will undoubtedly be NIMBY killjoys who oppose it, but this isnt the debate. The only question that we are asking is whether the fans would want the move. Edited June 25, 2023 by Wandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that leaps to mind is CenturyLink Field, which is home to the Seahawks NFL Team. Fantastic accoustics. Its materials and design magnify the sound allowing the decibel reading to be the equivalent of the noise level of a jet engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Don't really care as long as it's option 2 or 3. Just hope they expand significantly so it's not a big concern whether it's possible to get hold of tickets or not. Although I understand the concern from locals with connections/ST holders that it could affect the atmosphere I value my convenience higher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Someone I know went to our game at Spurs and wasn't impressed with the noise. One thing that perplexes me about that place is that it hasnt even got a roof that gives decent cover from the rain. It's like they designed it as if it was situated in Spain. If we get a new stadium then it had better have a proper roof, ie one that goes all the way up to the pitch and also keeps the sound locked in.
