Tiresias Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 i generally hate the super modern stadiums, all shine no soul. I am not against against new stadium by all means, I just dont want to rush headlong into something without consideration of what may be lost by moving it somewhere else primarily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Emirates. See Wembley. See Spurs stadium. Wouldn’t want any of them as our home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised they didn’t get 100% ‘stay at SJP’ given the way the question was presented. It’s how I would have voted - and I’m one of those who think that the best option would ultimately be to move. But the question was disingenuous. Pollsters and psephologists know that how a question is worded is vital - it’s why they tend to be careful in their phrasing. Disingenuous man Don't be daft.

I'd be interested to see the demographics of those who competed the poll, I didn't contribute, nor did the bloke I sit next to at the match. I doubt the fella in front did either.

Dr Jinx Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 NUST are a lame duck now and have been pretty much since the takeover. We needed an advocate when Ashley was here, not that he listened but we were pretty much voiceless if not for them. But now, yes the club will make the odd mistake but social media has more sway in causing action than NUST do at this point. I just see all this shit as an exercise in trying to stay relevant and more certainly playing to a certain section of the support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you not want that We've already got one of the greatest football stadiums in the world, that the owners appear to value as such themselves. "Potential invigoration" is not a particularly appealing gamble for some of us when the aforementioned dead area of town is literally a falling apart industrial estate, and will likely continue to be. Would you say the area around the stadium of light has been "invigorated" by people flocking to the area enough to support a full time business? Ours would look the same unless PIF are buying 20 square miles of quayside and putting in all the shops and cafes and bars that people are imagining will spring out of nothingness for the one or two days a fortnight the area gets used. I just don't see how a football stadium supports a non-viable part of town on its own. Is it the go-karts, Spice Girls gigs and NFL again that are going to do it?
