Two Stack events (last night for Euro28) and 27th with the latter being attended by Hopkinson might shed more light on things though. Yeah I’m interested in the 27th event. I don’t think we’ll get definitive info, but I hope we get some new hints at least. I think we may know more about the club badge from that event as well.

No...clearly too costly for even PIF to stomach. An extension would be almost as much as a new stadium, and no matter what the nay-sayers on here say a large cheque would make the environmentalists saying Leazes Park is essential for environment/conservation (in reality a few permanently angry dog walkers) go away. Best we can hope for in the short to medium term is a spruce up...no serious expansion/move until the concrete crumbles so much its unsafe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course nothing will happen between now and then. We are 2 and a half years away from the Euro’s. Planning alone could take 18 months or so.

et tu brute Posted November 13, 2025 Share Posted November 13, 2025 It's going to have fuck all to do with delaying a new stadium. Why would it when there is no chance they would be upgrading St James'? Extortionist costs for no real benefit. Building plans even for a new stadium would probably not be in place before 2028 anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 13, 2025 Share Posted November 13, 2025 Well, that is one way of looking at it. Don't commit, have no Euros in Newcastle. Or, commit to keeping the stadium ready for 4 group games and 1 quaterfinal, which will bring very good revenue stream across the local businesses to Newcastle and have a great positive impact to the city and region from all points of view. That's how I am looking at this, my beloved SJP will be in the Euros in 2028. get in. A new stadium could get announced, approved and planning underway in nearby Leazes Park that won't even impact SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red tape around development in the city centre is insanely hard and it’s crazy that people here from the city don’t seem to grasp that. There is no decent available land in the immediate vicinity that solves it for people and the club has 0 leverage so any seller or municipality holds all the cards and can charge any price they see fit.

BoSelecta Posted November 14, 2025 Share Posted November 14, 2025 Always amuses me when people have zero information and go doom and gloom. If you’re gonna make it up in your head why be so miserable? 90,000 seater, best acoustic venue on earth, 20,000 standing section with the current site developed into stunning public gardens for fans to wind their way through towards the ground. That’s what I heard from some gadgie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted November 14, 2025 Share Posted November 14, 2025 Few negative Nannie’s in here and without going all Ando7 keep the faith.

GOTONEW Posted November 14, 2025 Share Posted November 14, 2025 The Euros would be the perfect time for final decisions to have been announced (long before, hopefully) and every game at St James' will have the world hearing about what's next. If that's a new ground, then commentators will be mentioning "The famous ground will soon be gone", "The last big tournament to be held here" etc etc. Would be a great way to get a worldwide audience interested.
