Given the whole NewcastleGateshead marketing, perhaps build a newbie, if we must, near Gateshead Stadium? Whadayasay? Probably down to how the City of Newcastle is cut short North of the Tyne by North Tyneside and Northumberland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 How will an expanded Gallowgate in the mirror image of the Leazes end change the atmosphere ? The Gallowgate end significantly creates a better atmosphere due to its lower roof, but this could be down to the more vocal fans being in that end also. I would worry though that the atmosphere would suffer with the current structure just simply continued around to the Gallowgate. Expansion is a must, but the current Leazes development has never been conducive to creating a good atmosphere and keeping noise in the ground.

M1tche Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think a move should only be consdidered if the current stadium is somehow holding up our progression as a club, but I dont see how that would happen tbh. St James' is iconic and should be expanded where possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) I don’t think we should be even thinking about moving until this project is properly established and we’re winning things. Waaaaaaay too early to even think about the possibility, let alone discuss it. St James’s is our heart and soul. You don’t rip that out lightly and probably not at all.

NE27 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 We are half a season into new owners and we have new players/new manager/new director of football/upgraded training ground facilities/new sponsors. All this in that time and we've done nothing of note as yet(ok staying up was pretty massive) There may be a time in the future where we are consistently successful and a new stadium is a must. For now an upgraded/expanded St James would be absolutely fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expansion is a must, but the current Leazes development has never been conducive to creating a good atmosphere and keeping noise in the ground. Atmosphere sounded comfortably the best in all of our home wins under Howe, peaking versus Arsenal. Get more fans in the ground supporting this team that tries and these owners who are striving to be the best form of NUFC every year and our atmosphere will never falter - we aren't like any other club or any other type of fanbase.

This is the SJP/Gallowgate of my youth which I can feel sad to have lost, but at the same time I’m really glad too ?♂️ Think I’d have the same mixed feelings if we moved (preferably, after yesterday’s debacle, to somewhere I could get a fecking season ticket for!)
