Fugazi Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I love how I can be in Wallsend and still have a view of SJP, get a great view from up on the pit heap.

henke Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 The 1988 stadium is the one for me. The gallowgate steps, and the toilets. Totally different thread but when standing at football went part of it died. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Looks class but the atmosphere would suffer massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I think if it was possible to extend all the way round the ground I'd miss the Newcastle United sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I think if it was possible to extend all the way round the ground I'd miss the Newcastle United sign. im sure they could move it? never going to happen - listed building behind, the horseshoe will happen eventually, just as the rest has happend.

Colos Curls Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Aha, here we go: http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8229/2h5s1s1.png Beautiful. Do that and id not be bothered about any kind of expansion again in my lifetime. I love the lopsided look of st james', it's unique and instantly identifiable but that horseshoe look would be fantastic and I think it would harness the atmosphere in better than the current layout, noise from level 7 currently dissipates (IMO) out into space and you can't really appreciate the good work done up there further down the stands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I just cant stop thinking and dreaming of one day some billionaire takes the club from Fat Mike and instantly say they will expand the Gallowgate to look like that..just imagine the atmoshpere everytime we score a goal at that end of the ground..and imagine the sunlight steaming through the glass roof there..sunny day at SJP or a night match, the view of the stadium would be fucking stunning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 the only thing thats keeping us from filling those seats is not coz we aint won anything..no not all..the only reason we can see emoty seats at SJP is coz some fans are against filling up Fat Mike's pocket..no true Geordie will miss a match coz we havent won anything in ages..
