So that photo is supposedly showing hills 50 miles north of the stadium and the photo was taken few miles south of SJP?

From certain vantage points in the Carr Hill / Sheriff Hill / Windy Nook area you can literally look down on the entirety of Tyneside and beyond, viewing the North Sea to the east, the Cheviots to the North and looking towards the Northumberland/Cumbria border to the west. There's a park in Carr Hill that has a hill on it and standing at the top you are literally looking at a whole area of east, north and west that probably covers not far off that 50 miles in radius.

Aye, I actually drove down there from work this afternoon, absolutely crystal clear today.  Not sure what he took the photo with but you can definitely see the cheviots etc.  I feel fuckin stupid that I've saw the view thousands of times and never actually noticed how far you can see :lol:

Haha.

 

One of the yards my work has is in Sunderland and we often find it’s quicker to go through East Boldon. On a clear day you can see the Cheviots from the South Tyneside/Sunderland boundary.

Judging from that picture we could probably move further back than castle leazes and just build our new stadium in the Cheviots and be within city perimeter.

 

Insane perspective.

 

Or we could just dismantle and move leazes terrace, anybody thought of that?

interesting video, but that'd be absolutely terrible. moving from our gorgeous city centre to Long fucking Benton :lol: 100k fans trying to squeeze into Casa Antonio's for a pint.

Aye, the pubs at Lane Ends wouldn’t quite cut it to be honest. It’s an interesting video but I think he’s way off the mark.

I reckon he has a point in terms of the training ground, but don’t think we will play our games there. Can genuinely see us staying at SJP and extending the Gallowgate.

I'm all for moving and building a new stadium if we have to move but Four Lane Ends? I couldn't think of a worse place. I wrote previously that I'm confident the council would find somewhere to put the stadium in the city centre if we have to move.

On the one hand I could walk there in under half an hour but in every other way imaginable a stadium at Four Lane Ends would be absolutely shit. Not sure how the Ship, The Black Bull and The Benton Ale House could cater for 70,000 thirsty football fans either.
