Dokko Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 NCC are thick as fuck if they don’t bend over backwards to keep the stadium where it is. Match day brings in a lot of income for the city. I’m hoping the land is bought back or plans adjusted. Has any work started yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 yeah, the stadium location is an absolute godsend for the local economy. it was the main reason the rugby league fans demanded the return of the big weekend to newcastle from anfield. there's so much potential for local businesses eg foodstalls with regards to the use of strawberry place as a fanzone on match days etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city/SJP got a lot of love from the Irish and French lads I got talking to in the Hotspur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 should completely close down strawberry place match days. let out sites for local brewers, foodies, artists etc. stick a large screen above the club shop showing old games, goals, interviews etc. would be great.

That money would probably still be spent in the area, and the opportunity to encourage new business could turn their heads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That rugby cup thing was worth an estimated £17m to the city before it arrived, but sure i heard it came in at £30m in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city was bouncing and you couldn’t get a hotel room as far north as Berwick and as far south as Darlington Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I believe this was the original design to rotate the pitch 90deg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I believe this was the original design to rotate the pitch 90deg. If we go this length to isnt't it better to demolish the whole thing like Spurs and build brand new Stadium? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I believe this was the original design to rotate the pitch 90deg. Where are we supposed to play while that’s getting done? Stadium of Light? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Gateshead would have thought or could build a temporary one for cheap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Darlington’s 30,000 ground is probably the best bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 St James' is literally as good a location for a football stadium as possible, would be complete lunacy to move elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 With no crowds allowed for potentially 18 months. Rebuild the ground as soon as planning is sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The only options are buying back the land outside of the Gallowgate and building it up to level 7 or building a new stadium. I'd much rather see us try and get the land back to build the Gallowgate up or just leave it the way it is with massive improvements to what is already there. We've 10k more seats at the moment than Juventus, the stadium size won't hold us back and moving definitely shouldnt be considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Yimentov Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 We could just continue to make the Sir John bigger. Just keep pushing back into Leazes Park until it's 5 tiers high and the East Stand looks like a toothpaste box from the back row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely gets above 41,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Think the answer is to modernize and renovate what we’ve got and try and be creative about expanding the current ground by any means possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I believe this was the original design to rotate the pitch 90deg. Why does the current Milburn stand look weird like after the change? Pretty sure the Saudis can hire any engineer or architects to solve our stadium expansion situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Because with the pitch rotating it would be closer to the road, so it is fitting around that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Building on the Gallowgate would add 8000 and I would probably make the lower sections of the Leazers and Gallowgate safe standing but I'm not sure if that would increase capacity as well.

Guest Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 We’d surely have to move ground for a couple of years for that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
