JLC Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I've a seat in SJP in one of the so-called "posh" sections so am one of lucky ones I guess. I'd be in favour of a new stadium, purely so as to allow access to those who are locked out. It's a generational opportunity in more ways than one. I adore SJP but we need to get the younger generations in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to bookmark ? If there is to be a new stadium - zero chance it is ready to move into in less than 36 months let alone in under 24 months. More like 2028/29 at the very earliest.

A new stadium for us will easily be closer to a billion dollars ala Spurs stadium, I’d imagine. They won’t spare any expense if that’s the route they go. edit: I also just looked up the newest football stadium in America, SoFi Stadium and that cost 5.5 billion. So yeah a new one for us is going to run at least one bill easily. Edited August 11, 2023 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Everton's stadium is looking like it will cost close to 750m pound, I assume a new ground for Newcastle would be likely north of that when it's all said and done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These could change obvs. I think the planning permission is due to lapse soon. In saying that, until they start developing it, it would likely be available for fee, just like the Strawberry land. You would need to develop the whole area around it though, because it is fucking grim around all those garages.

Well the football argument is that rebuilding the stadium is a way to channel non-FFP funds into the club (by investing in "infrastructure") which can then create FFP income (via matchday, corporate and sponsorship income). The "sportswashing" argument is essentially "We're Saudi Arabia, look what we can do". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all E. New Stadium C. I reckon they want a double tier on the east stand with a gap between the two tiers (light for cunts) and the upper tier to integrate into a new upper gallowgate. But they probably want to know what possibilities there are with the east stand because it impacts the gallowgate new build Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vedder Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 A new stadium is most likely IMO. The Saudis aren’t here to mess around. Giving us a stadium as good as any in the league would a long way to cementing us amongst the elite. They’ll be playing it cautious because they know fans are attached the SJP and they’ll need the council on board with any plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 You can 100% see why the arena site would appeal. It’s still in the city centre (just), it takes roughly the same length of time to walk there as SJP does in terms of most of Newcastle’s pubs (I’m sure a key consideration for owners …), it’s much closer to the train station, and dramatic aerial shots above the ground on match days would have the city’s bridges lined up behind it. It’s actually a more visually appealing location if done right. Not saying we will move there. But it wouldn’t be the worst idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also be a catalyst for huge investment in that area of the city. Edited August 12, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
