I can't help but think that any cunt caught hoying stuff at the match should be slapped with a life time banning order. No place for that in 2022, especially considering how many bairns go to matches now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Just joined the back of the queue for palace tickets and I was 7,555th in the queue. Given multiple devices etc that could mean about 5,000 people logged in. So much for needing an 80k stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Aye. If we can manage to mirror the Leazes End at the Gallowgate that's enough imo. Might be a different story if we're going for the title in five years though. Edited August 3, 2022 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if this takes a good while to sell out. And it’s a 3pm KO! I’m sure the club are aware of this and will have data/stats to back this all up that a 80k seater stadium is a daft idea.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Palace likely won't take the full away allocation either so there'll be even more going on sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obvious that needs to be reduced like I posted before, there appears to be an issue in the family section. As kids have grown up and freed up seats it leaves a situation where an adult ticket may be some rows away from the nearest available child ticket Edited August 3, 2022 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 9 separate devices/browsers on the go ffs SJP was 99% filled to capacity last season and we spent most of it in the relegation zone. Even in the Championship, occupancy levels were at over 98%. That data all points to a stadium expansion being required. Mehrdad mentioned trying to get SJP up to 60/65k. I think that's about right for us.

Rich Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I did the maths once upon a time, but would extending the Gallowgate to L7 (if even still viable) add around another 7,000 seats if it just followed the exact way the Leazes is done? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) About that, aye. L7 upped the capacity from 36.6K to 51.2K. Once you factor in the corners it would be around 59-60K. I wonder if we could somehow add a big corner to the Leazes/East Stand without touching on the Halls of Residence. Possibly move that section brick by brick?

Be in that neighbourhood but I wouldn't exactly mirror it anyway and instead do an extra curve on top representing the tyne bridge behind it....cos I'm soft like that. Keep its more unique than uniform. Edited August 3, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's about right for us. Yes, I think 60,000 is about right and I’m sure it’s attainable. But the ridiculous comments about moving the ground to the Arena site and building a 80k seater just isn’t a good idea. I’ve missed out on a ST and I’d much rather never get into SJP again than have a half full Arena stadium every week - ask any West Ham fan what they think of moving and im sure they’d tell us to stay put.
