Me neither. I'd take a rework or subtle modernisation of the current one, having a club crest based on the city crest is great.

If they announce a huge stadium at Leazes Park wouldn't they have the land sorted out? Wouldn't there be some sort of public record for that?

Be a whole load of NDAs flying around. Some true, some made up to hide true intentions.

Aye, emergency meetings at the PL, new rules drafted.

To which we are NOT invited, as usual on these occasions!

Best mate used to work for city council in their land/property dept. His mate still does. He’s asked the question a few times and all he gets in return is a laughing emoji and nothing else, guessing NDAs galore. Suffice to say it’ll break soon enough. 
 

Imagine it’ll be a land swap, aka SJP created into green space paid for and maintained by the club as an agreement for the new build.

They could have an agreement with the Freemen subject to planning permission being granted, that could be done privately without the land registry record needing to be updated.

 

Depending on the council's scheme of delegation, which I can't be bothered to look up, it's likely that a decision over selling council owned land would need to be made publicly. I know the Freemen own Castle Leazes but I think Leazes Park is owned by the council?

 

They could potentially have agreement with council officers that they will recommend the sale or lease of the land to the club, but it's likely that the final decision would be need to be made by a council committee in public.

Whilst Man Utd are building their new stadium, Arsenal going to expand theirs, Chelsea looking to move, and Anfield still needing 2 new stands, there isn’t a chance that they will propose such rule changes.

You also have Aston Villa wanting to do something with theirs, and have just announced a fan zone last week, Crystal Palace starting work on their new stand in the summer, Leicester wanting to build a new main stand, Nottingham Forest building at least 2 new stands, even Leeds want to expand their stadium, and Birmingham City are wanting to build an Etihad like campus. The latter two I know are not in the Premier League yet, but could be in future seasons.

So all in all, even if they did try to vote through the rules, they wouldn’t get the required support for it.

 

Once our new stadium is announced though, we’ll just get the likes of Arsenal fans calling us an oil club.

Leazes Park is owned by the Freeman of Newcastle, and they make a big deal out of it being so. I also believe they own the SJP land, however the council are in charge of day to day running of both.

A conditional land deal could definitely be done privately then.

And their stadium is called the Emritates, which is the national airline of what country again 😀

Ya, I absolutely do not want a new crest. I’d rather they continue to have fun with the current two others from our past but our badge is a work of art.

Will end up with some generic circular fucking shite no doubt.

[Andy84]

Wonder if where SJP is now could we have something like the stack x 100 with bars / food etc galore.  Make it best match day experience in the world

I wouldn’t take the possible change of crest too seriously, it’s coming from Burnsie.

We’ll get one, but not because Burnsie is saying it.

Did you know that we are 1 of 25 clubs who can legally call our logo as a badge or coat of arms.

We were given the authority to do so with our castle badge.

I no longer have Twitter, you have to be a Twitter member to see replies (including threads).

The only way of seeing it is a direct link to the tweet.
