St James' Park

The proposed ground is further into the green-belt land in the park than a previous design, in which the stadium would have overlapped with the footprint at St James’ Park.

It's not green belt. That and some other dodgy terminology indicates he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about from a planning perspective.

It's now been edited to say 'park' instead of 'green belt'.

If they've started showing proposed designs to people outside the inner circle there'll be loads of details leaking out sooner rather than later. Before the next home game I reckon.

It was shown to the NUFC delegation at the meeting earlier in the month.

 

Nothing in that article is news, it’s all just a repeat of what Luke Edwards has said, but re-published under a different journalist ahead of the celebration event to gain more clicks.

It’s news that the FAB have been shown. That hasn’t been reported anywhere else yet.

65k will be the second largest club stadium after Old Trafford, it's plenty

Well if YAR needed a nudge on writing the cheque, I suspect holding silverware aloft at Wembley will have helped. 

 

I know why it's painfully slow, but fuck me hurry up.

 

There's a fair chance that our chairman won't be in charge of the PIF by the time any stadium is built.

Agree, 65k, where it can be expanded to say 72k in time is more than big enough.

West Ham has a 68,000 capacity but I think they're limited to around 63,000 at tbe moment. 65k will still be well oversubscribed for us. Should go to 70k which will still be sold out every week.

 

I just think that leaving SJP for an extra 12,600 seats, many of which will be corporate, so let's say 8k extra standard seats, isn't really worthwhile. Still have the same issues as now with 1000s locked out.

[Checko]

Just make it 69,069 capacity. No-one will complain.

So how long before the Karen's start whinging in the papers or petitioning the council that Leazes shouldn't be touched? Surprised the ronny Gill hasn't dragged some out yet...just to get some articles out

[Aiston]

Hopefully after today they realise they are aiming a bit too low

Would love to hear the thoughts of those thinking 65K would be the right size for the potential new ground after yesterday.

 

Don’t underestimate the potential of this club. Price it sensibly, build it and they will come.

Yesterday was a free event on a Saturday, I really can’t see us getting much more than 65k on weekday games against certain teams.
 

Yes, they’d easily get 15,000-20k more season ticket holders but it would attract so many ticket touts and we’ll become a tourist attraction. 
 

I rather a full stadium of the right type of fan than just sheer numbers.

I’d love to walk through leazes park with whoever made that while they tell me why it’s so great. Is it the crackheads? The honk of weed in the air? The wrecked playground and the lack of kids? It’s the park equivalent of a derelict house.

[Slim]

I expect if they build a stadium there the park will be improved as part of the deal.
