But the issues they had are the same Unable to improve current stadium due to location/footprint In need of more modern facilities including Hospitality options that bring the big money in tired (grey and dirty in our case) stadium that doesnt fit with the ambitions and aspirations of the clubs owners Clubs like Liverpool and Citeh have been able to expand on their current locations because they have the available footprint to expand and reconfigure while remaining where they are. Unfortunately for us and exactly like that excellent Buffalo Bills documentary above, the cost of renovating and expanding SJP is just not cost effective and will be more than likely prohibitive to our progress Edited January 25 by Cookie1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schalke Marseille PSG? Milan are getting a new one Juve Atletico Madrid Barca Real Madrid Think we need to wake up and realise we cant stay glued to SJP and its limitations if we want to move forward Huddersfield, Hull, Rotherham, Reading.

That plan could see an enlarged Leazes Park IF St.James's Park were demolished (unlike Hall's). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The park is run down and in need of massive investment. Imho its the perfect solution. The park gets renovated and the club gets a bigger ground. Existing ground is simply converted into parkland.

Are you thinking the Saudis have the money to suspend Leazes Terrace in the air, allowing it to remain in place while the Earth's natural rotation drifts it out of position towards Beamish?
