Rich Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 27 minutes ago, JT24 said: I mean that this is Luke Edwards putting out another no-information article, which is continually rehashed every six months, about Newcastle United. Not sure this fan base continues to give him the time of day. Can guarantee every stadium article he writes is far, far and away the most clicks he gets on any of his output. It’s not journalism anymore, as we know, just engagement farming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Any idea of what income we've been getting from the stack? Only asking as i've seen Villa are only planning on expanding Villa park to 50k and our relying on that and the warehouse to up the revenue. Not sure if thats even open yet? @brummie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 There is fuck all chance that this government give us any funds for anything. Let’s not forget that they were asking the Saudi’s not to invest in the North East but to invest in the Cambridge-Oxford corridor instead. Additionally, after his antics at the weekend, there is even less of a chance that anyone at the club tells Luke Edwards anything relating to stadium updates in future.

Absolutely full of shit. Sorry, @LFEE(maybe I’ll let this joke die soon enough). I don’t mind it… 99/100 I usually agree with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 1 hour ago, Scoot said: They will know exactly what they are wanting to do. Saying they haven't decided is just a way to avoid answering any questions on it. I think the people running the club day-to-day know what they want to do but I don't think PIF have signed off on anything. I also think that once they do decide to build a new stadium, the process of getting all the ducks in a row will inevitably lead to leaks all over the place because of the amount of people they will need to speak to, show plans to etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if thats even open yet? @brummie Villa have struggled to sell out for many of their home games these past 2 seasons. No need for them to go above 50k really. Also they're pretty fickle so if they had a downturn their fans would likely leave in droves. Remember they got relegated the same season as us. We pretty much sold out every week in the Championship whereas they closed down large parts of their ground. Going over 50k for them would be a huge and unnecessary risk.

nufcjmc Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I think the media haven't helped fuel the narrative of slow to act as well in all this, we have had more than one journo talk about the project at various points in the last 18 months/ 2 years and at times the decision has seemed "imminent" the fact that the club itself in various fan forums and media duties has been talking about it for so long up until very recently with the new executive structure poured cold water on it all being anywhere near close. Previous iterations of the board have said its a tough decision but it seemed that the feasibility study was all that was standing in the way of an informed decision even Craig no Hope talked about rendering being shown to the board last year. Now the club cant win here say something and you have protestors going at you from all angles and it may be years away, say nothing and don't even acknowledge stadium investment or moving is an option you would get constant pieces questioning the ceiling cap on the club due to lack of infrastructure investment. https://www.themag.co.uk/2023/12/newcastle-united-launch-new-stadium-feasibility-study-increased-st-james-park-capacity/ feasibility study launched December 2023. https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/stadium-plans-discussed-as-fan-advisory-board-reconvenes - early 2025 was what was mentioned here back in October 2024. The issue is the second you say its a thing in the mind of the public/fans its naturally going to be open to criticism as people have their own views on how long is reasonable to wait, any project is going to take years to implement and right now isn't a PSR restriction so while I appreciate it has to make business sense it will also help the medium/long term aims of the club to do it. I think we all agree our position is unique our ground is in an iconic and great position and we are boxed in with no land to expand into that we own and every move comes with either a challenge to build or a challenge to move to.

Wandy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Whether or not a new stadium actually happens, if we can at least take as gospel truth the club have done a feasibility study on building on Leazes Park, then this surely means that they have already consulted and appeased all of the relevant people, so that there won't be any opposition if PIF give the green light?

We are in the age of instant rolling 24 hour news cycles, social media feeds pushed out by any old knacker for click bait, multiple sources, traditional media using anything and everything for their own needs. Creates a level of entitlement from the person guzzling the information from them, the person then gets frustrated with no news on XYZ and pumps out frustrated messages all over social media, amplifying the subject again. People have no idea how complex it is purchasing land, proposing development ideas, speaking with local councils and central government, engaging with disputes and moving away from a stadium that's been home for over 100 years.

All stakeholders on board including the council and Kim McGuinness. The Mayoral Development Zone once up and running will be the vehicle to drive this through and think Edwards article confirms it’s going to be a huge regeneration for that part of the city, which was never going to be a quick process.

They won’t have, given that it would have leaked and Dolly Mk II would be running their mouth off. There’s far too many people to consult - and far too little importance on NDAs in that space - for folks not to talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomYam Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I don't know if there's anything in it but, as I'd always hoped the takeover would lead to serious investment in projects around the city centre (and especially the stadium vicinity), I found Edwards's line about city centre investment intriguing. It got me thinking...is there any scope for a new stadium immediately to the west of Barrack Road or a slight rerouting of Barrack Road itself? It doesn't look feasible with the Stanhope Street blocks of flats etc, but could there be a way...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
