Wolfcastle Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Think they probably thought the homage was naming the restraurant after him and a stand too would be overkill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 If we did do a rebuild of SJP it would be interesting to see how it would be done. Another Wembley style bowl would be shit. You really need something like Spurs’ stadium. Ok so we will never be getting say NFL games in Newcastle, but we should be building a stadium that gives UEFA no reason to deny it hosting European finals. I also think corporate boxes maybe a way to go. Selling each sponsor a box or rather selling boxes and then sponsorship inclusive maybe a revenue maker. That Dallas Stadium that was mentioned earlier, it has over 200 private boxes. Indianapolis Colts stadium has over 100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the PIF bought us as an investment and not something to just chuck a billion quid at in one go. We should probs count ourselves lucky the PIF think it's worth spending over 200m for an extra 8000 seats, plus there's no confirmation they actually think that other than a couple of statements that say they are looking into it. After the shit we've been through it's just nice to think its a possibility Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 8000 extra seats in the Gallowgate and that glass screen above the east stand would be the best option other than a new stadium at the arena Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 There’ll be a point where either a rebuild (over time) or a move are needed to improve all the facilities and take us to the next level. It might not be popular but it’s hard to see how we compete if we can’t offer the facilities that other comparable premier league and champions league clubs have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got everything going for it that St James’ Park has, location, proximity to city centre etc, and its a bigger site. I don't. It's a good site don't get me wrong but the arena site would be as good if not better and the college site just off Scotchy Road would likely be even better. Moot point though as I don't see us moving. Edited November 30, 2022 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I can't see how we stay unless we can get the capacity to 70k+. If not more. It doesn't make sense to go on with so many people locked out. We don't even have any world superstars playing here yet, and we haven't started challenging for titles. The location is the main thing though, absolutely has to be a 5-10 minute walk from the city centre. A move further would be disastrous for the city.

Keegans Export Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I think the main issue with SJP as it is (vs the "Elite" stadiums) is the corporate facilities, or lack/quality of, rather than just the capacity. Adding 8k to the Gallowgate isn't really going to change that so I think long term we will probably move. Land swap with Leazes Park most likely.

I remember my first season ticket was in the Newcastle Brown Ale Stand, which was of course () was The Gallowgate. nobody in their right mind would refer to them as anything other than the gallowgate, leazes, milburn, east stand. so lets get that sweet sweet sponsorship money rolling in. same could be said for the stadium as a whole, but I won't start that again this thread goes around in circles enough as it is! p.s has anyone thought about moving the Leazes Terrace (brick by brick) down to the arena site?

Planning for houses on the land around the Arena has been approved, and when the Arena itself re-locates to the Quayside, plans are (though not yet approved) to build houses on that site also.
