Wolfcastle Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Something like that. Did suggest an Olympic gallery at the old Wembley type scenario where its like a small extra tier literally hanging from the pre-existing roof. Were not after a lot I feel from the East Stand, couple extra thou. Couple extra rows like the extension at the San Paulo pre Italia 90. Since we'll be doing it up anyway at some point.

Kid Icarus Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 "When you look around you just see the stadium at every turn, that's such a powerful thing. I wouldn't want to change that at all. If we can improve and enhance the matchday experience for supporters we'll try and do that in every way that we can, but for me it's our home." Eddie absolutely gets it.

Whitley mag Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 It would be great if they could tie in announcement of stadium naming rights with detailed plans about how they’re going to develop St Jame’s. I think if they said it’s being called Aramco @ St James from 2023 and we are spending 200 million on the stadium to increase capacity it would really get everyone on board.

Kid Icarus Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) No it wouldn't. 200m isn't going to make 'Aramco@St James' Park' and shitting on our history worth it. Edited October 15, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardsleymagic Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Personally I wouldn’t like anything that was @St. James’ Park. It reminds me too much of @ sports direct arena and also the name of the ground should be more prevalent. I would prefer St. James’ Park sponsored by……… or something like that.

Dokko Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just rename PIF to SJP and we're golden. Otherwise, leave it alone. I've heard 38 million Saudis desperately want to subscribe to the NUFC Channel for £10 a year, so no need to look elsewhere for funding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Was it not just renamed the Sports Direct Arena ? Surely folk realise to compete and comply with FFP this is a small price to pay, if St Jame’s stays in the title I’m more than happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 It's funny because Mehrdad, Staveley, Eales, and Howe all seem to disagree. Eales has mentioned stadium sponsorship, but only with fan consultation and nothing like that @st james' park monstrosity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 If the money is right and it helps push the club onto the next level I honestly couldn't care less what they call it. The supporters will always call it St James' Park anyway. German clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt have thier stadiums sponsored and the fans haven't batted an eyelid and German fans are against things like this. They just still call their stadiums by their traditional name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Fundamentally opposed to any stadium name change. I don’t care about the X millions it may bring in, St James’ Park is sacrosanct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two completely different circumstances Exactly. Name change under Ashley = zero benefit to the club. Name change under PIF = 10s of £millions every season to be invested back into the club. Those scenarios aren't up for comparison. Like it of not football, especially Premier League football is big business these days and clubs need to maximise every possible stream of revenue to give themselves the best chance of competing. PIF couldn't bankroll the club themselves even if they wanted to so this is the road we must go down. We need to close the gap on "the big 6" commercially and this is a good way of doing that. As I said all the fans will still call it St James' Park anyway and actually when I think about it, myself and just about everyone else I know don't even refer to it as that. We just call it "the ground". As in I'll meet you outside the ground after the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nun tumblers Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Oh fucking great let's not compete with our rivals,no change at any cost. Fucking dinosaurs. Spurs can rename their staduim for anything upto 1Billion so if its the Apple st james Park staduim it's no big deal ffs...also if we had to build a new stadium preferably in the city boundary it not going to be called SJP is it!! you've got to move with the times.

I didn’t mean 200 million sponsorship for clarification, though if you look at what Spurs might be getting from google is it that outrageous ? I meant they’d announce they’re spending 200 million on making the stadium 65k capacity, that figure may also be wildly optimistic aswell due to complications of extending the Gallowgate and todays prices shooting up for materials.

Kid Icarus Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) If you honestly think the money that a name change would bring in would be worth it, you either need to look at the amounts brought in elsewhere, or you value the St James' Park name very cheaply. It doesn't take a dinosaur to know that. At nun, not WM. Edited October 15, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
