AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Love the idea of even considering a ground that’s over 100 miles away Could poach quite a lot of Scottish fans I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Sure it's been mentioned but what about digging a pitch sized (bore) hole on the town moor and have huge grass banks as stands 100k all standing till new ground is built. Simple and effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 This thread a piss take or what? Moving to a groundshare over 100ml away ? Bore holes ? I knew in 2016 England was full of idiots but fuck me it's bad like. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 If you wait a while the arena conversation will come back around followed by brick by brick and the gallowgate expansion with added metro issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 They’ll close a large section of the Gallowgate to allow the extension to take place. Probably for a year. SJP will be an all season ticket ground with reduced away capacity for the duration. Fan zones will be introduced in the city to ease discontent.

Liverpool were able to build around and above their stand which was still in use I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 If it would be possible to redevelop St. James' I suppose we could conceivably just borrow Stadium 974 and apply to site it temporarily at Castle Leazes or Nuns Moor https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63885578 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't need to close any parts of the Milburn or Leazes when we extended back in 1999/2000 and I reckon building technology has probably advanced these past 20 odd years.

JonBez comesock Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Fan parks wouldn’t work in the town for home games , as the tv feed/ delay would mean you hear the real crowd roar a few seconds before we score ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Might sound even dafter but if they could somehow build a level 8 on the Leazes and Millburn but kept the prices at like a tenner or something I'd be up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newintoon Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I think I have a solution, Why don’t they just use Kingston park stadium but newintoon that’s not enough capacity, halftime bus the players and ref to Gateshead stadium where the next lot of fans are waiting for the 2nd half, everyone wins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Could even use the Amsterdam Arena. Only 55 minutes on a plane and then a short train journey. Quicker than getting up to Edinburgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Just a thought but could we not use one of the stadiums in Qatar for home games ? Most of them are being demolished , so I can’t see why not ? It’s only a 7 hour flight time from London.?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) I've heard the moon has wide open spaces available, we could be the 1st universal champions. Edited December 16, 2022 by Dokko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
