Arknor Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) 4 hours ago, pubteam said: 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. NUFC would have to take over the management of the park from those Urban Green muppets. The playground also needs completely replacing, right now there's a banner up asking people to donate ...... State of the council in this city..... I bet they wasted tens of thousands trying to disrupt rat runs etc but the city centre park is a proper abandoned **** hole If the park was going to be properly maintained and SJP given to the park instead of turned into student flats, then I'm sure most local would be all for it.

Not so sure think the Nimbys from Spital Tongues and folk who have nothing better to do with their time will campaign against it, unfortunately even an enhanced and better park wouldn’t pacify the tree huggers and swampy brigade.

For what it's worth the city would benefit vastly from a new stadium on a "bit" of the park rather than the mismanaged scrap of land that currently lies unused and unloved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I can't believe we haven't physically started to extend or build a new stadium yet, we desperately need the increased income. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If done correctly and openly on that Castle Leazes plot AND with an extended park very few would object. Most who objected in the '90s were set against the plan to retain St James's (possibly in reduced form) AND build a new stadium on Castle Leazes. Offering an extended and enhanced Leazes Park, while building a new state-of-the-art stadium, would override the objections of all but a handful of hardcore idealist environmentalists.

At one point it was proposed by Hall that the newly bought Newcastle Gosforth RFC (later the Falcons) would play there as part of the ‘Newcastle United Sporting Club’ thing when the club bought them out.

I honestly thought they’d have had a lot of it already discussed amongst themselves and organised. It took 18 months for the deal to go through - it’s not as if they didn’t have the time before the sale. And over two years is a significant chunk of time to get balls rolling - I don’t understand why the first feelers only started last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you’re coming from tbf - and I accept that I’m a wee bit impatient with this stuff. Just find it disappointing as every passing year makes it harder to pull closer and catch up to the sky six. Spurs’ revenue just went up by £100m.

And ours will jump significantly next year with our new sponsors (Sela and Adidas, as well as the smaller sponsors) not to mention Champions League money (obviously thar will drop the year after). I know people want things here and now, but considering where these owners had to start from post Ashley, I think we're doing just fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise the Sela and Champions League money has been accounted for on this years books (23-34) don’t you? The accounts for next year will only include uplifts in smaller sponsorships and the Adidas sponsorship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you’re right but I could see a fair few being up in arms, these environmentalists rarely see the upside of things like this, expect a fierce battle if it went this route. A useable park in the heart of the city with a lake etc, would be a real asset to the city though and I really think club should be thinking along these lines. SJP is not fit for purpose in terms of facilities and overall experience, I actually find the place grim these days, the view and atmosphere in large swathes of the stadium are a pretty soulless experience.
