We’ll still be playing at SJP in the 2035/36 season.

 

 

 


I’d imagine they’d want to showcase it 2030. Tight but possible.

Mate, who's got an 8 seat box, got 8 PLUS 2 Business Tickets last Cup Final. 10 in total. 

Just the 4 this time but they're very pragmatic and not too radged about it.

Can’t see any chance of the government calling it in. They’re desperate for investment and growth. Trump spent half of one of his tedious speeches last week praising Yasir and joking away with him. While the government are trying to build connections with the likes of Saudi Arabia, they’re not going to call something in because some people are upset a stadium might be built in a run down park in an area they’ll be worried about Reform.

It is the North East though.

£2bn worth of investment up here?

They’ll not want to be getting called out for why they can’t at least try and do something themselves.

£2bn would 150% more than what the Metro system cost to open up in the 70’s-80’s, even accounting for inflation.

I’d be surprised if our region has had a single project that has even came close to that price spent on it.

Labour are proving just as bad as the Tories when it comes to neglecting the North East. Numerous schemes have been cancelled, and pretty much every new infrastructure promise has been to London, the South East and pretty much anywhere but our region. Latest example...

The only hope of any significant spending around Tyneside is currently dependent on the Saudi state.

Who was it a while back basically asking the Saudi's for handouts, was it the council?

 

Regardless, I remember thinking at the time that on the surface it wasn't a great look but really if we hadn't been neglected by one government after the other then they wouldn't have to.

Yeah I know, but surely £2bn on 1 project, and another £200m+ on another project 4 miles up the road will just embarrass our government.

Nah, they'll just spin it and try and take as much credit for it as they can get away with

Biggest meeting in the clubs recent history? To be a fly on the wall.

 

Hope they're recording it for a to-be-released documentary on the stadium build.

Get those plans released after the meeting tomorrow. 

They have got to go to the FAB meeting first. No one who attends the FAB meeting are saying how much they know of the plans or not, or if they have seen images etc.

 

I actually don’t think that well here anything official from the club this side of the cup final.

As it happens, the weekend after the cup final is an international break, so it might be a good idea to release the information then. That way people are able to focus on it, and the discussion and the media attention won’t be getting in the way of fixtures.
