Stay at all costs. 
 

 

Losing our best players? Getting further and further from winning a trophy? Maybe even Howe…

 

Really don’t get your fascination about the ground it’s falling apart if you have a wander around when empty. The acoustics are terrible. Some of the views are woeful and we’ve a giant screen only the away fans can see.

 

Since my first game in 1983 all 4 stands have changed. The pitch has been dug up. The box office and club shop moved as have statues. What is it that you are clinging on to?

It's not that simple is it. It still is majestic enough to blow folk away, football people. As the Bromley mob, players and fans .

Tbf Bromley have always been a Non League team up until this season. Even in League 2 they'll be used to playing in small ramshackle type grounds.

 

Whether it was SJP, Old Trafford, Emirates, or Tottenham stadium, they would have been blown away as it's a world away from what they're used to.

Is that what’s happening at Newcastle? We’re losing our best players while getting further and further away from winning a trophy?

 

Completely bizarre fantasy where people think moving to a 70k corporate bowl at the Silverlink would magically produce success. It wouldn’t, it’d just further neuter the match day experience while allowing gorms on the internet to brag about attendances like Top Trumps.

I'm yet to speak to a Newcastle fan who thinks that moving to somewhere like the Silverlink would be a good idea mind

Silverlink, its the most dire soulless place on the planet, its just a massive car park surrounded by crap shops.

It's just your generic out of town retail park, the likes of what have been popping up all over the Country these past 25 years or so. I live 5 minutes drive away, and it serves a purpose at times although I'm far from a regular visitor.

 

Couldn't think of a worse place to build a stadium, nor do I see where there's room to put a 70k ground there anyway.

Yeah same here, we only drop in if its the absolute last option.

Staying at the current capacity at SJP would be infinitely preferable to moving out of town. 
 

Nothing out of town should even be on the table. Hopefully it isn’t.

It would be carnage coming off the A19 road and then all the shoppers.
