TheGuv Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm so bored of this argument about Leazes Terrace man. It won't be moved, it can't be moved and it shouldn't be moved. I'm sure there's a way of increasing the capacity without affecting Leazes Terrace. PIF and co probably have already got people looking into it otherwise Mehrdad wouldn't have brought it up last week. Can we just leave it there please, it's exhausting.

pedro111 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Regarding adding to the Millburn and Leazes, would a level 8 be any higher than the likes of Barca's ground etc? They seem huge. I know it's not ideal but better than nothing I suppose. Keep the tickets cheap and boost attendances. I wouldnt mind going up there if it was cheap.

ponsaelius Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I think not caring or taking an interest in your city's history is sad - particularly when it is actually so distinguished, unique and celebrated - but this is people's prerogative if they wish. But coming on and trying to simply argue that a Grade I listed example of Grainger's Georgian Newcastle is actually just a bit shite is a new one altogether.

Is it fuck, and I’m dead against moving from SJP. The city of Newcastle has been around for eternity basically in one form or another and THE city centre is the most important part of this city and Leazes Terrace predates SJP. I’d rather we stayed at 53k to keep Leazes Terrace even if it meant we couldn’t expand as a result, and with that I’d also rather stay at 53k than relocate if it means we lose SJP from its current plot if we can’t expand.

Nun tumblers Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It's just a building I couldn't get all misty eyed about it mind. The navel yard offices were a prime example of an art deco building . They just flattered it. It was much better than that monstrosity on the coast Rd the tab factory. Who are these fuckers deciding what gets listed.

number37 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Do we even need the East Stand? I imagine Wor Flags have already had a logistical nightmare printing out ten thousand leaflets in size 50 font explaining how to use the flags at the weekend (and apologising for disturbing their nap).

Wallsendmag Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Wandy said: I'd say Leazes Terrace should only be considered altering/moving if the East Stand side of the stadium was to be considerably increased in capacity. For example, extending Level 7 all the way around it and therefore increasing overall SJP capacity to around the 80k mark. Until then there's no point really discussing it. But I have no doubt that a more efficiently designed East Stand could replace the existing one, on roughly the same footprint, to give a pretty decent increase in capacity over the existing eyesore. Agree with this. Surely the way building technology has advanced in the 50 years since it was built should enable us to build a stand with similar (or slightly larger) footprint to the current stand. Although one thing they can't do is cram more seats in. I was in there for the Man Utd and Cambridge games this season and its noticeably far more cramped than the other 3 stands!

Abacus Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 So, semi-seriously, what about the idea of a foldaway upper tier to the East Stand? Granted it would be an engineering marvel on the scale of Babs Windsor's bra, but they do love an engineering marvel in the middle east. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are these fuckers deciding what gets listed. I vote for you and gjohnson to become the leaders of our newly named city of Newcastle upon Nothing But Football. We should demolish every listed building, outlaw Conservation Areas, concrete over every park and replace them with football pitches, sports bars and car parks.
