andycap Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Could we play at gatesheads stadium? We could buy it aswell so gateshead have a home for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) My guess is ground sharing isn't an option. PSR rules the waves so we can't take the dip. Not for 3-4 years. We've the Euros as well. It's a new ground and wether you want to move or not the new ground will be awesome. My guess, again, is Castle Leazes or Exhibition Park (opposite the North Terrace) We'll see.

Stifler Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Aye, don’t see why we would hate the Freeman. Surely without them we would just have an urban mess of developed land, no public parks, and no hoppings, which actually enabled us to enter the competition we last won.

Whitley mag Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Fairly big development if conversations have taken place with Freemen, first real sign there seriously exploring the option. Makes perfect sense to move, a rebuild of St James just looks very complicated and don’t think there’s any viable option of playing anywhere else whilst work takes place.

andycap Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Where would be the most suitable option for us to ground share? Sunderland maybes cannot see there owners turning down the extra business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Could we not just build a temporary 48,000 stadium like they one they built for Qatar world cup from shipping containers. Not sure how long that took to build but you could build it anywhere local. Must be a better option then having to go to Sunderland 19 times a season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 The only other option is to build somewhere new and use St James's until it's finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Absolutely zero chance we share with the mackems. Sunderland would be a war zone once a fortnight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a better option then having to go to Sunderland 19 times a season While all the stadium costs are confidential, it isn’t thought to have cost much less than a regular build of similar size. There is zero chance of PIF pouring hundreds of millions into a ground which would be used for a season, or two at most. Spending £250m and bringing in £70m isn’t even on the table. It is move or a small extension to SJP (if that is possible). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Wherever they decide to temporarily play, I just hope it's most convenient for me if not it's a terrible decision by the club and especially Mitchell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Would our season ticket holders be fine with only getting to go to every other home game (at a reduced price obviously) for a season, if it meant SJP was getting a big upgrade? I kind of get the feeling that a lot would be quite upset about it, if it was to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) Isn't the whole point of Option C (Leazes Park), that it's phased construction so only the Leazes End would need to close? What do other clubs normally do when they're expanding and need to close a stand? Edited October 4 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) It would be a lot easier to get NUFC fans to the SoL than you might think. The stadium is on the opposite side of the river to the city centre, therefore the police could just barricade any access to the other side of the river where all of the bars and shops are. The stadium itself is an easy journey down the A19 and along Wessington Way, so straight in and straight out without fuss. This idea that the area would be a battleground is a total nonsense. The first few matches there might be a handful of wannabe hoolies but once the novelty wears off it would be a non event.

I kind of get the feeling that a lot would be quite upset about it, if it was to happen. If we go to a new stadium, we will get a load of backlash from season ticket holders who don’t want to move. The alternative however, is that they either pay £1,000-£1,500 for their season tickets, which they will kick off at, or they have their season tickets suspended whilst work at SJP is ongoing. There is also a possibility that they would be subjected to both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
