If they do move up there, where SJP is now will need to be turned into "park land" so there is a trade off. However, wasn't there a story a little while back of the Rueben's buying the Barker and Stonehouse site ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 How many people got to those Platinum club beambacks does anybody know? Was standing room only whenever I was there. Was a surprisingly good experience, raw, basic - basically a massive pub with a live Toon match. Fanzones not so much by the looks of them and from experiencing that Euro'96 round the corner from SJP, which at least smelt like beer due to the breweries.

Anyway, here’s my 2 cents. I feel like you have touched on the need for a fanzone in regards to FFP. Having a fanzone where shirts are sold, food and beverages etc would increase our income, especially if it can be used outside of match days and in addition to having match going fans, we also have fans outside watching the match (where applicable). On top of this, if we are extending or rebuilding SJP, then they will likely be wanting to host events, such as Champions League finals, and I’m guessing they will use it as pressure to take the FA Cup semi-finals back to neutral venues. For UEFA and FIFA competition finals, you are required to have a fan park outside the stadium. Currently we already have mini fan parks, but having a dedicated permanent space allows us to one up our competitors. In the case of Euro’s or World Cup bids, it’s something over the SOL. I can see many reasons why we would be interested in a fan park, and I don’t think one reason alone would be the reason why we do. Iirc theres quite strict criteria to be classed as an UEFA elite category stadium to host UEFA Finals although capacity wise we would be ok there is loads of other stuff Looks at stuff like minimum size of pitch, the grass even needs testing in a UEFA laboratory, VIP parking, control rooms, size of pitch, floodlighting, sizes of dressing rooms, hospitality areas, PA system (ha), size of press conference rooms and media facilities etc Search for UEFA category criteria and theres a document third down on google Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Assuming our fan zone will include food, drink, big screens and a massive fuck off club shop. High tech asf in design to mesh with our new ambitions and be very much a place where the club can hold activations and events with players, former players, etc. I’m assuming it’ll also include some “meeting/banquet” space for them to hold indoor events too and allow for it to be booked by locals and be useful for other sport events too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 There's a fairly regular complaint in the Match Atmosphere thread about the same two or three songs being repeated over and over. Personally I think that part of the issue is away games essentially being a closed shop these days but a fan zone could help - songs/chants on the big screen, a decent DJ/MC keeping things ticking along. It might be a bit cringey but there'll be plenty who are after exactly that sort of thing and it could help the atmosphere inside the ground too.

I would guess that the things you've mentioned would be integrated into the expansion whenever that would happen which obviously is in the long term bracket? Unless there is enough space to develop the gallowgate behind the fanzone. The reason is that I'm thinking the new gallowgate will be a huge superstructure and eat up a huge piece of land Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
