The ballot is what fans asked for. It was put to the club during consultations, and also relayed to NUST who also put it to the club.

The queue system works for people who can either get away from work for nearly an hour or more at 10am, or have an office job where they can do it as they work.

It was no good for anyone else.

 

Also, they said that the Stack vote isn’t official, but just to see where fans minds are at, and it’s clear that the balance is shifting or has shifted to a new stadium.

They will do a more in depth, and official consultation with fans in the new year.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well that's a relief. For a second there I thought we may have been paying our Chief Execs and various managing directors for absolutely nothing when we could just put everything to a vote in front of pissed up radgies in-between Sweet Caroline and Seven Nation Army

I think the decision (a new stadium on Castle Leazes) has possibly been made for a while and work towards that is happening in the background.

I don’t disagree, but the thing is that now fans are changing their tune from the initial consultation 18 months back.

[Minhosa]

Been a concerted and low key PR push towards a new stadium for a while imho.

Which I think seeds have possibly deliberately been planted for.

[Stifler]

Yes there has, but I don’t think what has been said is false.

At the end of the day, if they turn around and try to put it at the Racecourse, then fans will not stand for it. If it’s at Castle Leazes/Leazes Park, fans will accept it.

[et tu brute]

A new stadium will get the majority vote now in any case. It's an absolute no brainer in every way. The decision has already been made anyway, they are just cleverly slowly rolling it out. Even Howe when he was last asked about the stadium had changed tune.

Is Stifler actually Adam P?

[bobbydazzla]

Should build a new stadium but also leave the current SJP in situ so middle aged blokes can go up there and sit in silence or grumble to themselves whilst avoiding the distress of going shopping with the wife.

 

Let them carry on doing the same thing they’ve been doing for the last 20 years but without a football match spoiling their me time

I dunno like, I’d quite like Ando in the stadium continuing with co comms

[patrone]

It's all decided, and regardless of what or where, there will be as many whinge as there are love it.

 

Eales/Silverstone and the others said the same about the ticket situation, there's no decision that will make everyone happy.

 

Oh and Paul Mitchell comes across really really well

Get to fuck.

My voice isn’t as deep as I’d like it to be, but it’s not like the dog whistle he has. Additionally I grow a pretty decent beard, unlike the flour dust off a loaf bread that he grows.

Don’t take it so personally dude. I have literally no idea what you sound or look like.

Probably for the best to be fair 🤣

Great thread on Reddit today of new NFL stadiums that were built next to existing ones. Seems appropriate given where this may be heading:

Atlanta

 

Chicago (new built inside of old)

 

Houston

 

Philly (clockwise from bottom - new NFL, new NBA/NHL, old NBA/NHL, old NFL/baseball, new baseball)

 

New York (New Jersey)

 

The thing that stands out the most is the size of the new ones when capacity isn't all that different. For example, the last one only has 2k more seats. It's suites and facilities.

MetLife stadium hasn’t aged well considering how recently it was built and stadiums that followed not long after, would be a bit gutted if I was Jets/Giants fan.

 

As much as it’s a new stadium for me it can’t be a soulless bowl surrounded by car parks off the A1.

With only a couple exceptions all NFL stadiums are. Baseball has the best stadiums in the US.

100%

 

I’m pretty biased since I live here but Coors Field is one of the best:

It’s awful. The location is bad enough but it’s like they didn’t even try. When someone says soulless bowl that is the stadium that comes to mind for me.

Cannot think of any football stadium built post 2000 that have any character. 
 

Also cannot think of one club that have improved dramatically on the back of moving to a new stadium. Would give you Brighton actually, but they were playing at an athletics stadium prior to that characterless monstrosity they have now.
