Anderson Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Be interesting to see how they go about doing anything with East Stand. Difficult to envisage how it can be done without a complete knockdown and rebuilt considering there's next to no scope to expand it's footprint and it's already cramped enough as it is.

That's not even new info. Mehrdad said himself a while ago that they hoped to expand to 65K. I still think the feasibility study may be used as the reasoning to move/completely rebuild, rather than a modest expansion. On Wednesday the club moved up a gear, you could just feel it, and I bet NUFC gained a lot of new fans that night. Will a modest upgrade to a creaking stadium really cut it, as football enters a new age? Not for me it wont. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s a valid point on whether that really allows us to compete (on a stadium level) with the likes of Spurs. The never ending modernisation v history debate I suppose.

It's not just about adding capacity though, it's also about adding and improving facilities such as corporate, catering & accessibility, and pitch views too. I don't see how extending Level 7 to Gallowgate and a small, additional tier to the East Stand does that by any significant manner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city centre location is non-negotiable, be it on the current footprint, Castle Leazes or the Arena site. But everything else is up for debate, for me anyway.

You would think they will desperate to include some additional corporate in whatever they are able to do. Generally, I’d agree with your point though. We’d be sacrificing the ‘quality’ of stadium for location and heritage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel a bit of an outsider on this topic as a non-local but this is it for me. They could knock down and rebuild the entire thing for all I care. It doesn't feel like so much history lost. Does anyone know the actual oldest part of what's currently in place? East Stand from the '70s? Moving from the land itself though feels different. The closest I've come to acceptance is all the talk of Leazes Park, but feel an agreement should be in place that the old stadium site make up for the loss of green if so. Moving much further just feels like a loss of something in my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The East Stand is connected to the old Edwardian West Stand, as they were both in situ at the same time. And with the East Stand it has been developed to what we now know today. If the East Stand was knocked down, that connection would continue on to the new Leazes and Milburn. Sounds stupid, but there’s something in that continuation for me. It makes it real. Moving just wouldn’t do it for me. Even if it guaranteed my ST back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
