It's the reason I'm still convinced it will be a new stadium, together with the fact that there will be lost revenue and a lot of season ticket holders affected, whilst work goes ahead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 If SJP was to be rebuilt, would any of you accept having a ground share at SoL? They could do with the cash so am sure they’d lap it up. Would just feel very very dirty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Cheap revamp of Gateshead stadium when the work is getting done at ours. Just get the scaffolding guys in from Russia to build a few temporary stands! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the work that would have to get done covering and uncovering pro-safc signage every week, just to stop vandalism and defacement, which would probably happen every week regardless.

They’d just remove it.. look what they did to their own bar before we played them ? Probably pull all their seats out too and replace them with a neutral colour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s cameras in there, and more cameras can be installed. Ban people for acts of vandalism. It being the SOS isn’t exactly a good excuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that any different to San Siro, New York in the NFL and LA in the NBA where two franchises share the same stadium? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be done quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, massively. Those stadiums are genuinely shared, and belong to each team. The SoL would not belong to us and people would have absolutely zero respect for it.

If the boot was on the other foot, would you want to help them out? I certainly wouldn’t. Imagine having to see your biggest rivals celebrate some potentially famous wins in your ground. Fuck that ?

You can’t equate the two, they need money and as the owner has shown they are more than happy to role out the red carpet for us. Don’t think it will happen either mind, the plans we have for SJP are still shrouded in mystery as we know absolutely nothing at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t entertain allowing us to use their ground now. And rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 If we offered them decent money to use their stadium as a big toilet they'd happily take it and provide the paper. Both sets of fans though wouldn't be happy. Some of ours may take joy in 'taking over' and filling their ground for a change, but I'd rather we looked at buying Gateshead stadium, revamping it as a football ground only, and have our u21 and lasses play there alongside Gateshead giving them a home and a chance to playing in the higher leagues.

You know every time we played there they'd have to have police sectioning them away from the ground as they beeeeew the fans coming to the stadium. Rather go beeeeew the mags than support our lot, but we're also the best fans in the werld. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I wouldn’t want to be boosting their economy every fortnight no thanks. Besides it’s a bleak fucking shit hole and would be depressing as fuck after the novelty of taking over the place had worn off. The local boozers would bump their prices and take our eye balls out and you’d inevitably have to give a gobby little mackem scrote a good hiding at some point risking a jail term. Just send the bulldozers into Castle Leazes now and start fucking digging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
