The club if the noises are to be believed are looking at some fairly sensitive land and unlike other grounds we are talking in the very heart of the city and like it or not there will be push back from certain quarters you suspect.

 

have I missed something? what land are you talking about here??

Behind the Leazes stand including the park potentially etc. Maybe even Barrack Road.

 

Any land bang in the middle of city centre is sensitive. Look at the whiners going on about the Stack etc which is only temporary.

We need to get the folks that developed Eldon Square on the job. They tore down half the city center to build that and in an area way more sensitive than a part of a park on the edge of the city center.

Some would say “simpler times…”

If we built a new ground what would we call it ? 

 

ChatGTP suggests 

 

Tyne Park

 

Hadrians Arena 

 

TBF I like them both.

If it’s on Castle Leazes then I’ll never forgive anyone who doesn’t call it Castle Park.

 

Hearts pinched the most ideal name for a stadium though with Tynecastle.

 

It will be ‘Insert Sponsor here’ stadium.

In that case we'll do what the mackems did... just call it Tynecastle and pretend the original doesnt exist.

Assuming, like most remaining sponsorship opportunities, we'll be waiting for Man City's case to blow apart PSR/APT (🙄) so we won't be naming after a sponsor until sometime after 2045 so...

 

Leazes Park Stadium makes sense. Just calling it Castle Leazes would be great.

 

I don't feel we have anyone iconic enough to name a whole stadium after, although the Carl Serrant MegaDome has a nice ring to it.

The Sven Adult Books Magpie Megadome 

 

It is already decided

CEO talking sounds as if no decision has been made at all.

I’ve not seen the interview yet, but the line from the club would be to not let on what decision has been made before the FAB and supporters have been consulted, and everything is public.

I hope new guy knocks fan consultation on the head, whatever they do the fans will argue over it, fine for the badge thing, although we were never consulted previously when it changed, but the massive project that is a new ground, just fucking do it and maybe let fans decide the name.

 

Involve the fans and some will want a say on the taps for the bogs. As a rule us cunts, as a group, couldn't agree what colour the sky is, whatever they do, there'll be ructions from some, fan consultation ? utter waste of time.

We won't have a say in the name of the new stadium. Hopkinson got $800M in 2018 for the naming rights in Toronto so the name will be the biggest sponsor, whoever that is. Just watch Ashley throw £1B at it. I'm happy to pick the taps in the bogs though!

 

We could though, all hypothetical though "Aramco St.James' Park Stadium" for example. But if you can get an extra few million for simply "Aramco Stadium" so be it IMO.

Imagine if we end up with the Sports Direct Arena
