Maybe a proper thick question, but can we not demolish SJP in it’s current form and rebuild it in a way which has a bigger capacity?

 

Would of course leave us homeless for a season or two though.

 

Who would we share with in the meantime?

You would imagine something would be possible but would require building a training ground or campus first with a mini stadium to play the games in. 

 

Barca have the Mini Estadi and City have the Academy stadium

People want to move the stadium? I know we cant expand as much as wanted but good god I would't trade having stadium at top of city for the world. Albeit also realise keeps getting fucking blocked off by more and more shit buildings

 

It's not what people want it's what the consortium will require. The revenue for a 70,000 - 80,000 stadium is big compared to 52,000. It's the reason other clubs have extended or planning to extend. Unfortunately there is very little that can be done at St James'

Too late for the riverside. The entire plot beside the Arena is just about to get approval for residential.

 

Yes, I posted this link about that earlier in the week . . .

It's had approval for a while hasn't it? Would imagine it's not an easy site to develop with being industrial. Maybe do a swap.

 

As manorpark has alluded to, city planners were unhappy with original scheme. This have now been revised, and proposals for the site are now moving forward.

Am I right in thinking manorpark that the Freemen gave the Castle Leazes site the go ahead in the 90’s, and if Hall had gone the distance it would have then gone to govt planning for approval.

 

Was it not the timescales for planning approval that made them resort to SJP redevelopment ?
