I'm all down for that. We could call it a Dossier.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too right about the architecture and I’m guessing HTT ll has been talking nonsense again as you mentioned him ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 If you take Sunderland as an example they flattened loads of their period architecture to build that bridges monstrosity and are left with an eyesore that nobody gives a crap about - I personally think it's important to retain the historical integrity of the city even if it means stymieing the potential plans for the stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Not sure how serious this proposal is but one option for Man U is to knock the stadium down and rebuild. If we stay where we are then I wouldn't be surprised if we went down this road. Obviously there's the problem of where do we play whilst it's rebuilt?

It’s easy for Man U, they can just play at Wembley and it would just mean their fans don’t have to travel as far for the matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Think we could pull something off like this by starting the new stadium structure where the Leazes car park currently is, and moving the foot print of the stadium away from Leazes Terrace. Would be complicated keeping SJP open during the rebuild, but with this lot anything is possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Wasn't sure if it was an unpopular opinion but glad to see others don't like the sign. Definitely thought they would improve it. Still nice to see tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sign being exactly the same as it used to be is a big part (for me) of letting our former owner know exactly what we think of him and what he did with this. Shearer's is B A C K as if it had never gone away !!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It looks like the bar near some shite out-of-town identikit stadium I've been to - I think Wigan. For anyone that's been, it's that one between the car/coach park and the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) The original is much better than his effort. Not that I want it changed in the slightest, but if I did, I'd go for a more radical redo than his thing. I'm no expert in this stuff, but I don't understand why 'digital times' mean images need to be less detailed and more homogenous. And fuck it, if we're going to be the richest club in the world, presumably we can afford to stand out from the pack and develop imagery around aesthetic ideals and luxury, rather than being pushed around by marketing budgets and design graduates. Re Shearer's, on one hand, I agree with @manorpark. Respect to the owners for trying to clean the club and restore it to better times. I think they're doing their best. That said, I never thought Shearer's should've existed in the first place. It was a huge sign of the club going in the wrong direction fast at the time, with Freddie Shepherd clinging on to selling a fading cult of personality alongside Graeme Souness rather than developing the fundamentals of the club as Robson had wanted to. It was the kind of thinking that brought us Michael Owen and proper football. In a roundabout way it was one of the things that set us up as marks for Mike Ashley to later target. December 2004. Bad memories. Edited March 26, 2022 by 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
