St James' Park

[NEEJ]

Put a permanent Hoppings at Beamish!

[Whitley mag]

Eddie from Tyneside Life now uses the park regularly and doesn’t see it as being run down, thinks building on it for a few thousand extra seats is destroying the city’s history.

 

[Miggys First Goal]

So the cunt never used it before, probably much like 99% of the local population.

His shit videos are doing more damage to the city’s history than anything else being considered

Generally speaking I like his videos but when it comes to the SJP debate he is such an insufferable smart arse. I will piss myself laughing if we do relocate into a part of Leazes Park when he has said it will never happen. He has said he will close his YouTube account if it does happen. Somehow I think he will find wriggle room for that not to happen. I’d also love to know how he believes the Bondibot ‘Option 3’ to be nothing more than a “fantasy”.

Why does the price keep going up every video?

Not our money, who cares how much it costs?

 

Also the money will go into the region, paying people to build it. It's not like someone just creates a bonfire and burns £4bn KLF-style and then a stadium magically appears from the ashes. In that sense the more it costs, the better. Redistribute some Saudi oil money to the good people of the North East.

Does the cunt still do them ground tours? It would be fascinating to hear from someone who paid to gan and see an Eddie leezers ground tour.

I bet he mentions that leezers terrace is grade one listed and something that nobody else knows that he can categorically confirm/deny

Blokes a whopper, remember seeing him down Sheffield United more arsed about filming videos and trying to interview people than watch the game and support team...

I was just about to post the same thing. Tottenham's stadium cost around £1bn, and it's in fecking London.

Costs will definitely have gone up since then but not by 4 times. Dickheads!

So nothing unusual. Speculation passed off as news based on rumours which others have said with some fluff around it.

In all fairness they say $4bn, which would be more like £3bn. It would also mean that will be at a super stadium, like Atlanta, Sofi, and Allegiant etc.

 

I don’t see how rebuilding SJP would be considerably cheaper than building a new stadium though, if anything I think it would be more expensive.

Especially as you're either going to have a massively reduced capacity for an extended period, or have to pay someone to play at their ground, or build a (temporary?) stadium/extension somewhere else.

Yeah, first of all you have the land we need to buy from different parties, with rumours of us recently buying Wellbar Central (Sky offices).

 

You then have the complications of building over Metro station, which is possible, but will cost more. Add on the re-routing of both Strawberry Road, and Barrack Road.

 

Now add on how we are either going to do it in stages, or play elsewhere, likely a bit of both.

 

Then finally, the cost of the new build stadium in anyway.

Are we buying the Wellbar Central or just renting some office space for the growing ops team?

No idea. I heard that we bought it, but that rumour originated on Facebook. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

I sincerely hope that its a rebuild at current St James or overlapping in to Leases Park but this project is going to run till 2030 or 2032. The whole infrastructure to the north, south and west is gridlocked for an hour after the game. I either park in the college or at my daughters in Fenham and with always staying till the final whistle it can take an hour to get out the car park. Add an additional 20000 and the whole town will grid lock. Gateshead council have wrecked the road layouts from the Tyne Bridge and Swing Bridge and I still can't understand how trains can go over the high level but cars can't so the only options for South and West is the Redeugh and  Scotswood and the traffic lights at Michell Bearings are already being used to drip feed traffic across Scotswood bridge to prevent A1 & Chainbridge Road being too busy which then gridlocks Scotswood Road back in to town. The one way systems along Percy Street and the RVI force all traffic to go on the same routes out of town. Add in the fact that half the parking spaces in car parks are now permit holders only makes it worse. If we can increase match day to similar to Spurs, have another 30 events a year with Oasis, Taylor Swift, Boxing etc. the additional money for the club, and also the city, will be massive. Hotels, restaurants and bars will be back making profits again and the city will be buzzing. Building in part of Leases park and convert the St James Park land to an arena / 'Disney type village' Newcastle Fanzone and it will totally rejuvenate our city and is vitally needed but the council will really need to sort out the roads and car parks. They'll probably solve it by charging a £30 toll to try and make it car free. The infrastructure work will take longer than the stadium.

The high level bridge has structural issues. It’s not far off needing rebuilt. They made decision a while back on having trains go over it, or cars.

 

Gateshead have fucked things with Askew Road like, but once the motorway comes down, it will be a lot better.

Newcastle has to start making better use of park & rides though.

Driving anywhere in or around town is like a purgatory of bus/taxi lanes and one way systems. Gateshead have obviously been in full collusion to ensure a 15 minute detour round Gateshead for what was a 2 min journey previously. Combined with the inability to park anywhere that wont cost donating a kidney...Long term plan is clearly to have both centres car free.
