One of the main ones would be getting permission from the Freeman of the city, although there are rumbling that they are receptive of an offer of a land swap. In the location the video depicted, it would mean taking out a bandstand area. Technically it could be relocated though, and was massively damaged a few years back and had to be virtually rebuilt then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Is Option A 95% the same as Celtic Park or my imagination? Have they got a similar issue to us with the small stand, or are they just happy with how it is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should it be a non-starter? The park is a tip and if the club can work with the council/friends of Leazes Park so that new parkland is created if SJP is demolished and the club takeover management of the park it is win/win for everybody.

Whitley mag Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Think a few would get a shock at the strength of opposition to building on the park, the friends of Leazes Park and every swampy within a 100 miles would be claiming they use the park for yoga every week.

All happy to come along and tell someone who’s just bought nothing more than a pile of stones that they need to rebuild it as the castle it was in 1452, and won’t take no for an answer, yet unwilling to work with people in alternative plans. One episode of grand designs should be enough to make anyone realise what a pack of Roy Croppers they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the best option I think and if it was allowed to happen I think a redeveloped park on what's currently SJP would be hugely better than what we've got now (a falling apart rat infested grade 2 park) but there would be just as much opposition now as there was last time it/Castle Leazes was mooted imo Edited April 16 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to protect the park as well but it seems like making a much cooler overall situation would be a good idea for the city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just don't see any of the options going ahead, when you take into account the number of season ticket holders affected and lost revenue. I would imagine we will hear some more concrete evidence in the summer after the club have completed their tick box (imo) exercise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomYam Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Option D - on Castle Leazes - for me. Option C is a move away from the hallowed turf so why not move a further 200 yards north as it'd be less contentious (gar less encroachment into the park), less complicated and imo a better setting for the city.? Option A is more realistic than Option A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If on option C of the rebuild, we moved just above the where the grandstand is, instead of on it, we would not be in where listed park zone is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie1892 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Class video, will even let them off with New Castle Option C all day long, can we not incorporate the bandstand and terrace into the stadium somehow? Call it the bandstand end or summat and have sam fender in there pre match on the weekly. I guarantee that if the club owners offer enough money to the council and freemen to fund other projects then it will get done regardless of tree huggers and such Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
