Way-hey! 43 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: I think we’ve been really unlucky with the initial exec appointments, particularly Ashworth. Unlucky? Eales was fine, did what he could and hope he's in good health given his diagnosis. He did appoint Mitchell, though.... not much we could do about Ashworth getting poached and look how that worked out for him. Hopkinson and Wilson are an improvement on our previous regime IMO.

Unless it involves hanging OneDek off the back of the Gallowgate, I’m not sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 57 minutes ago, bobbydazzla said: But apart from all those things you mention above. And apart from the FA, SFA, UEFA, FIFA saying it's not possible. And apart from the massive logistics hassle for punters. And apart from us not knowing that we actually will need a stadium to play in whilst ours gets renovated, rather than it being a new build and SJP doesn't get bulldozed until the new one opens. If we removed all of those potential issues, shirley you've got to admit that Murrayfield would be a goer ? Still in two minds mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 1 hour ago, LFEE said: You do realise how long we’ll need to be at SJP regardless whilst they build a new stadium? They explicitly state as much in the clip, it felt like more than anything they were gently nudging the fanbase towards "we're moving, but we need to still improve while we're here". Granted I could be reading far too much into nothing I do that sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 40 minutes ago, bobbydazzla said: You do the math. Is it a 5-a-side pitch? Looks like the new one is smaller than the old one compared to Leazes Terrace. Otherwise a great looking stadium! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 5 minutes ago, bobbydazzla said: I don’t think it’s accurate. The stadium has moved further up and is no longer behind St James’ Terrace. The road you see is Strawberry Place, the Metro Station and Strawberry pub are out of shot south of the road. As someone else has mentioned, the stadium also appears to be larger but fitting in smaller on the footprint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) So the stadium footprint is smaller than what we have but still has tens of thousands of extra seats plus loads of snazzy corporate areas and we can see that the pitch is at street level so they haven’t built down. How high is this bastard gonna be ? And we’re going to double the length of St James Street ? Something is rotten in Denmark, mark my words.
