TheBrownBottle Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Another consideration re a new stadium is naming rights. Much to Mike Ashley’s chagrin, SJP is SJP regardless of any attempt to have a stadium sponsor. A brand new stadium opens up real naming rights benefits. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as romantic as they come when it comes to football - I don’t like the commercialism the game now attracts. But I’m also aware that the real world operates in a different way from the one in my head. A new ground in five or six years time would allow the owners to get maximum value in the market - likely with a KSA company splashed all over it.

Voted on by the supporters. There is a danger that my dad and his mates vote for Tony Green every year, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Ain’t getting no marble clad stadium. Marble can’t cope with the climate, water gets in and it cracks. That picture frame structure in Paris was originally clad with Marble, but after a few years it stated cracking and chunks were falling off it.

geordiesteve710 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Re: the Magic weekend, I do believe that the RFL are looking at the calendar (or IMG are anyway) and this may make the weekend in the longer term. BUT I think to some extent the recent public comments are about trying to cut themselves a better deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expansion to the new stadium would be fine as long as I thought I could get in once it was done. I just don't think we could add enough seats to make that likely unless we build a new stadium. The other option is to wait until we are shit again, then a 52k stadium will be plenty big enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I saw Jay Z once and he was like a dot in the distance, still loved the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
