huss9 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 bollox as usual. not sure where the chron's going with that. he's a finance guy. stadium expansion isnt going to be limited by money. we're gonna need top architects and construction whizzes, not accountants.

timeEd32 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The headline is weird and my phone almost blew up reading it, but the main point is he has experience with big infrastructure projects. He also has experience working with foreign based leadership, FFP issues with Leicester, and balancing the books for Championship clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, a Solicitor acting for 'Newcastle United Football Club Projects Limited' submitted their priority search (basically means you have priority over any other applications that might be subsequently submitted), which you usually submit just before you're about to submit your application to update the title etc. Nothing ground breaking, but those searches were submitted against the land in green, so looks like that's what the club has indeed bought back The applications for the top two bits of land have completed at the Land Registry.

Rich Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 https://archive.is/WfkIR "But The Times has learnt that the possibility of increasing the capacity of the East Stand is now under serious discussion. Newcastle built the stand in 1972 and it is now dwarfed by the more recent extensions of the Milburn Stand and the Leazes End because of restrictions involving the listed Georgian buildings behind it on Leazes Terrace. Those buildings are grade II-listed and a limit was put on the size of the stand when it was built because of issues regarding light. However, advancements in engineering and architecture mean there is the possibility of a redesign that would use more glasswork and allow extra light to go through the stand, potentially leading to a significant capacity increase. The club is looking at every possibility to extend the stadium, but that side of the ground has emerged as a better option instead of building at the Gallowgate End, which has a road behind it and a Metro station underneath. Newcastle want to increase the capacity of the stadium to reflect their growing status, having qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. They expect to have the results of the feasibility study by this time next year. In the meantime, Newcastle are developing hospitality options inside the stadium during the summer."

NSG Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Great news if they can do the east stand, because eventually the Gallowgate will get done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Increasing the East Stand to have a capacity of 16,000 from 6,000 seems unlikely. Would love to see the mock ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Not what most expected when it came to extending SJP. Be interesting to see the next move if it’s a non starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Maybe there is an incentivising people in Leazes Terrace to accept a loss of light. Remembering clubs have bought streets to demolish them for new stands before, admittedly the street next to Ewood Park that Jack Walker bought and flattened was hardly Leazes Terrace standard.

Yep, this seems looks very much how SJP will end up looking I reckon. They will do the Gallowgate when the club's profile & never ending demand for tickets justifies the costs.

timeEd32 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Very interesting - if that is actually possible and then a future Gallowgate expansion could happen if demand warranted it it would mean there's a path to having the second biggest club stadium in the country, right?
