NG32 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thought more people would be disappointed that Ashley is about to kill the prospect of ever extending the ground stone dead. Only other option would be to build a new stadium out of town and call it Sports Direct Arena. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Any word on which hotel it'd be? Sure I read something a while back but I can't remember. Assuming someone shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Any word on which hotel it'd be? Sure I read something a while back but I can't remember. Assuming someone shit. No idea, it maybe a speculative build. I'll be going to the event, my main concern is that there is enough room for a Gallowgate expansion in future, if there is then I'm behind proposals to develop thy land. However I'm concerned that so much of it is being used for student accommodation. I hope the finishing quality of it is good, I'm particularly a fan of the business school on the other side of Barrack road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I can't remember the last time I went to a football match with a decent home crowd TBH, it's terrible almost everywhere now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Any word on which hotel it'd be? Sure I read something a while back but I can't remember. Assuming someone s***. In the US they build nice full service upscale hotels or luxury hotels near stadiums, including a good mix of high end and fun bars - you get the feeling this is going to be budget as fuck, look terrible as fuck too.

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 St James Park always seems like it has a terrible atmosphere until you go somewhere else in the country and realise that despite it being dead, it's still rowdier than most other places.

Stifler Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Would've thought Newcastle is reaching hotel saturation. Apprently we are still about 10% of room availblilty away from the prime % of availability. I.E. Enough rooms needed for the city but enough free rooms to make room prices competitive. The shortage is in higher class hotel rooms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Would've thought Newcastle is reaching hotel saturation. Apprently we are still about 10% of room availblilty away from the prime % of availability. I.E. Enough rooms needed for the city but enough free rooms to make room prices competitive. The shortage is in higher class hotel rooms. They need them in order to bid for things like the UEFA Cup final as well. New Hampton Inn looks a bit disjointed but I think The Crown Plaza will be pretty swish. New Motel in The Bigg Market looks classy!!!! And New Premier Inn next to the Gate will become as shite as the one next to my office very very quickly. That one's not been the same since Holiday Inn flogged it and the derelict snooker hall makes it look 50 times worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
