Stifler Posted Thursday at 18:44 Share Posted Thursday at 18:44 The club has just done a Q&A session on Zoom. When asked what could be improved at the club, plenty of people said a new stadium and training ground. Loads of mentions of tickets. When asked about other clubs or sports teams they admire for doing stuff we don’t, loads of people cited Dortmund, and Man City for the merchandise availability.

There was plenty of mongs on that session mind. 😂 - thankfully I think they’ll filter out that shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the faces, and their either looked like and East Stand pensioner, or a Bunsie simpleton. The majority of the responses were ok though I thought, always going to get a few spanner’s.

et tu brute Posted Thursday at 18:54 Share Posted Thursday at 18:54 It's in the hands of the council really and also the freeman of the city. Surely, it's in their best interests to process an area within or very very close to the city centre. The football club is the heartbeat of the city. A new state of the art new stadium, will not only push the club forward in terms of revenue and commercial opportunities, but will also have the same knock on effect to the city itself. I also think the same attitude should be taken for a new training facility and stadium for the youth teams and ladies team, though that can be located and built in a suitable area, not dependent on city centre limits.

English heritage will likely get involved, especially if we want to take up a section of Leazes Park. It will end up going to the secretory of state for approval/rejection.

The town moor maybe an option also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magdad Posted Thursday at 19:26 Share Posted Thursday at 19:26 I’m convinced even if they got permission for leazes park, as soon as the ecologists moved in for a survey they’d find a flock of lesser shagged seagulls or something that would screw it all up anyways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they wouldn't even be a stautory consultee on development affecting the park, they are only a stautory consulted on Grade 1 and 2* Listed Buildings. It's possible they would get involved and request it is called-in by the Secretary of State but I wouldn't say it's a definite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancrate1892 Posted Thursday at 21:43 Share Posted Thursday at 21:43 Isn't the leazes bandstand and the balustrade grade 2 listed structures? We could build a new stand over them and sit in them in the new concourse having halftime drinks and snacks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrymac1966 Posted Thursday at 22:41 Share Posted Thursday at 22:41 Disappointed in Leazes Park. I go fishing there but the city council have taken our 4 designated parking places so not only no guarantee of getting parked but also £15 now if you can. Loved my days there but quit this year also maintenance is under a new firm who dont give two hoots about managing it properly. Last time we had to move our bivvy for that light show and had blokes up above us in the trees cutting massive branches down for the event.... It was once a brilliant angling club but even the committee are mega pissed off with the councils attitude...money is everything to this lot and its so so sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
