It would also require the demolition of at least 3 and 4 St. James Street. If that were an option it would be much easier and less impactful to extend the existing east stand back the same distance.

ToonScotman Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Would love to see us expand/ upgrade SJP but would hate to see us move from where we are. Definitely need to upgrade the training facilities for players and youth something like leicesters state of the art complex would be impressive.

And I don't need to get out my BRE Daylight and Sunlight Assessment pack to tell you a 12 storey-ish building within about 11m of residential windows isn't going to be acceptable. Let alone the impact on the setting of a Grade 1 listed building. Edited February 18, 2022 by Jackie Broon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I really don’t think SJP gets redeveloped, because of FFP we are hamstringing our selfs if we redevelop SJP due to naming rights, I don’t think the owners would go down the road of renaming SJP.

nufcjb Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 We have the wealthiest oweners in the world who are bulding a fucking city literally in a desert. They'll find a way and hire the best engineers money can but to expand and preserve SJP at its current location. They would have thought of this when they started to get interested in buying us and city center stadium, wpild have been a factor in it.

Ben Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Would we go to SOL for a season or two until the ground is redeveloped, I think the idea of twisting it 90 degrees and moving closer to Barrack Road is probably the best idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty_Lash Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 It should be possible to expand SJP to 70k or so even with the constraints of leases terrace. The yellow wall at dortmund is c.25k behind the goal. Why couldn’t we have that behind each goal? We’re then at 50k plus milburn and east stand. Another idea could be to demolish the east stand completely and build it back as the corporate hospitality area with the boxes effectively stacked on top of each other meaning the stand doesn’t have to take such a large footprint. Maybe then put a giant screen on top of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the only time Sunderland were getting sell out crowds was when Newcastle were playing their home games there It's just a shame we can just buy their unused upper tier off them and stick it on top of the Gallowgate.
