The issue with the Gallowgate remains the same regardless of the funds available to the owners. It is a potentially insurmountable task to extend the Gallowgate to any substantial degree - a civil and structural engineering nightmare. The risks - not only cost-based ones - would be a nightmare. I suspect a move will be the only option for any kind of substantial increase in capacity. The site is a fucking nightmare, basically - blocked by listed building on one side and likely blocked by the Metro station on the other. I can't see how the structure to expand the Gallowgate can be safely built. Fortunately we are now owned by one of the family members of the property developers the Reuben Bros, and by the P I F. They are not the type of people to see problems, only solutions. Edited June 26, 2023 by manorpark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Could the Saudis not buy a second sun (just for Leazes terrace) and the we use the current one ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Stick a big mirror on top of the stand to reflect light down onto Leazes Terrace. Make it deformable so it can be converted into a death ray if they complain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 But stick some actuators on the back of the mirrors and a bit of engineering and we could if they get out of line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive, not sure if it would work in such a small confined space at the back of the East stand . If the residents are up for it tho, id go with it.

Definitely 👍 but presumably we would be using old one right up to new one being fully ready. Hence having two sitting side by side (in view of each other at least) for a while.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, of course - but it would be a bastard to build (and might be impossible). As Sima pointed out above, the Metro changing lines at SJP makes it even harder - the simplest solution would be to shut the station either temporarily or permanently while you either rebuild it or grout it.

They used to get pelters when standing at greys monument. If I recall correctly they even had the gall to object to the expansion of SJP due to increased traffic. They we’re basically NIMBYs with a few genuine tree huggers amongst them. Dolly Potter and the Friends of Leazes Park. Sounds like a shit JK Rowling knockoff. They were 100% NIMBYs.

"Nimbys" is a performative adjective predetermined to negate the subjects interests. It's perfectly reasonable to wish to retain one's aspects. Wether its from new motorways, football grounds,, new builds, schools, halfway houses for nonces etc etc. Nee one wants to be fucked over, it's only human nature 😏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
