Those with The debentures are possibly an exception but they probably only apply to SJP too 

[Harry 209]

If new stadium is going to take seven years imagine how bad SJP is going to look in its last season in 2032! It's scruffy now, God knows how it will look with seven years of zero investment.

Does anyone know what they are building behind the Gallowgate End? Someone said it was going to be digital advertising but it doesn't look like that to me, too big.

It is digital advertising boards, Nexus have planning permission on the City Council portal for it.

Ah right thanks.

The changes they've made to the training ground suggest they aren't going to just completely ignore SJP if/when they decide to move elsewhere.

Was interesting Luke Edwards "source" was saying it will be more around 68k for a new stadium or between 60-65 to stay.

 

Look at it that way and thats a hell a lot of money £800m to stay v £1.5bn to move

 

It wont be Yasir who will sign off on it anyway will be someone higher in PIF, i can imagine the Matfen Hall meeting was maybe a discussion of options before Yasir/Jacobo Solis takes it back to PIF

It’s not as simple as - “this one costs £800m more”. It includes potential for future revenue, potential for further expansion, more control over the whole area where the new stadium would be, future projections on costs for remedial work etc. There will be an enormous number of variables they’re looking at when making the decision. The PR associated with having a stadium built with their money and in the image they want is probably a big factor as well in the sportswashing stakes

You do know that the only person senior to Yasir in the PIF is Bin-Salman, right?  Or was that the implication?

Yasir is the main man in PIF isn't he? Other than bin Salman himself signing it off there's nowhere else for it to go

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Thought Jacobo Solis is quite influential for PIF as he heads of their investments, he is obviously now on our board of directors too which surely helps.

Seems like it wasn't the implication, though

You have to take into consideration everything else the new stadium could offer as well, not just the upfront increase of 3-8k more seats.

Many more seats needed than that.

 

23,000 additional seats in the "Leazes Park Stadium" at 75,000.

 

That is what is needed to make the whole thing worth doing!

I was talking about the difference between the two options Baldwards was talking about, to be clear.

This would seem to contradict the spirit of Brad Miller declaring a new stadium would involve having 'lots and lots more seats' than a redeveloped SJP at the stack meeting. 

 

Part of me wonders if it's part of a campaign of lowering expectations so that when a final, bigger plan is revealed it picks up additional pro-move momentum, that they're obviously still worried about.

It’s not just about rise in attendance. It’s about building a multi use venue from scratch for us to get max profits. People don’t want to hear it but it needs to be multi event. NFL, turn it into a race track, concerts. Anything else we can think of.

Monster Jam is fun as fuck to be fair. Not sure how well it plays to English sensibilities though. Ripping tall boys while the trucks break your ear drums is a great night.

Did Miller not suggest the revenue would be double from a new stadium, which will be one of the main drivers. There’ll be a lot more executive boxes around a new stadium, not to mention increased sponsorship.
