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.

So close…

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.

I wish he’d fuck off with the “Geordie Brexit” shit.

 

Especially because the opposite result would be a catastrophe this time.

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.

 

 

 

Without getting political as it’s not really the thread, but to say that the government ‘cancelled A1 upgrade’ when it was never funded in the first place isn’t really true.

I’m just glad that whatever is decided tomorrow will be communicated to a Yank who only remotely cared about the club post takeover.

Didn’t she switch from Man U to us after the takeover?

She’ll be devastated we’re getting a new ground before Chelsea.

That was all photoshopped in fairness to her.

I hope Adam Pearson is going to be hiding in the bushes to provide us with some pictures of the meeting 

 

Seriously though this is a monumental decision, praying we go all out with a new world class stadium. Would also hope Edwards info of the new stadium being under 70k is also slightly wrong

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.
