Stifler Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) 24 minutes ago, Jackie Broon said: They don’t need to but there are numerous reasons why it would not in the club's interest to do that until the plans are at a more advanced stage. On the flip side, they maybe should have been promising information on it for the last year, and recently come out saying the results are imminent?

Turnbull2000 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) If it were a new ground, surely word would be out due to the land acquisitions needed? My instinct is that they're hoping to expand Gallowgate over the Metro station after Euro 28, and if that's not technically feasible, they'll just look to improve current facilities.

I think word would probably start to drip out one way or another as things progress. Edited September 24 by Jackie Broon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancrate1892 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Personally, what I would have done was build a small stadium at the arena site something like 25k permanent seats and 10k temporary seats to accommodate all season ticket holders (I'm not one, so 2 years of pain) and knock down SJP and rebuild on the site. The arena stadium could have then been converted as nufc new training complex where the ladies and the U-21s could play. Ambitious yes, but the chairman said he wanted to be no 1 and that can't happen without that level of ambition. Sadly that's not an option anymore. It just seems like we are losing momentum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Can't wait for the day we get the Tweet out of the blue linking to a club statement saying the club is delighted to announce it has acquired land and is to begin immediately the construction of a new 96,000 capacity stadium. Why only 96,000 is only a question Mitchell can answer. Howe possibly if we get beat in the game prior to the announcement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we weren't wasting £650,000 per week on Matt Targett we could afford an even bigger stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 My word we are light years behind seeing that. If PIF aren't confident enough of a return on investment with a new ground (be it financial or sportswashing), it'll probably not happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I mean, that’s obviously not what football means to me but it doesn’t seem to affect the normal fan that much. Guess it takes up areas that could be used to cheaper normal tickets, but other than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
