broony Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Just had a survey sent through from the club about upgrading / replacing st James park. questions like: what do you want from catering. Do you want more bars inside the stadium? How much more would you pay for a ticket in a newly redeveloped stadium? How much would you pay for a ticket in a brand-new stadium? Would you prefer a redeveloped St James Park or brand-new stadium? Et cetera Edited December 4, 2023 by broony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL games will usually be over 3 hours though. There are literally operas that are shorter than that, so not suprised some people might want a bit more comfort. Aye live NFL games are awful, there is a need for a telly to entertain you between plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, NSG said: The last section of this “hypothetical scenario” is asking if you support them building a brand new stadium. Think Mehrdad got a bit ahead of himself in that interview last year when he said they wouldn’t ever consider it. I would support the building of a new stadium but for me the location would be crucial. A brand new stadium built on the existing SJP site for example, i’d be fully behind similar to what Spurs did.

bobbydazzla Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Q1: Do you want to retain the Gallowgate Pigeon, if the stadium is redeveloped ? Q2: Would you be willing to help to move Leazes Terrace onto the tennis courts, brick by brick ? Edited December 4, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Course they do that's how you get the revenue up for FFP. I'm part dreading that all when it's like that super modern spaceship stadium, constant social media blitz super club bantz on social media. I love the team, still feel connected to them, bit of a fear when we are man city equivalent we will be winning stuff nda it will be routine and dull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I’ve been watching updates on the Baseball stadium in Toronto. They have done a decent job, but alas anything like that is not going to be viable until the U.K. government allows us to have alcohol at games.

Like fuck would I be happy with a stadium at Silverlink though, despite the fact that I live around the corner from it.

We’ve 30-35K ST holders. 72K+ memberships as of October. 3-5K away fans. Corporate allocation only going one way (up). The current stadium is sonically poor and will soon not reach UEFA/FIFA standards and limited to what events it can hold. What exactly baffles you?

Wandy Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 We aren't going to be moving from the city centre, it's simply not happening. It's becoming very clear though that a complete rebuild on the existing site is looking the most viable solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know any set of fans that have gone to a new stadium and prefer it to the old one. It’s sonically poor yet nearly every player and manager says how good the atmosphere is. Couldn’t care less about it hosting anything other than Newcastle games. I think going much bigger would be too big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could add another 10k-15k in season ticket holders, expand away fans to 5k, and have 20k members tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest I think if they built a stadium they’d want it to be the best in the league. It’s the location for me it has to be where it is currently, so maybe a temp stadium like we saw in Qatar whilst they get on with it.
