Ronson333 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Luke Edwards just been on Sky saying the feasibility study is about to end and he expects the club to stay at St James park. He says from his sources that’s what the club want. Thinks we’ll expand the Gallowgate and make tweaks to the east stand to get capacity up to 65,000.

TBG Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 50 odd thousand and still spotted Paully. Looked like he nearly got taken out with a shot second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 65k? About a 13K increase. All depends on how it’s done, there are flaws with the ground that can’t be resolved by expansion alone. I’m really torn in all honesty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Unless the areas at the top of the steps behind the Gallowgate are expanded and proper queuing lanes are set up (or additional turnstyles built in) an extra 13k people trying to get in to SJP is going to be an absolute disaster.

I think the queues now are already a safety hazard at times especially at the strawberry corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means we’re likely stuck with a match day income around half that of Spurs. It wouldn’t exactly be a strong signal of intent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 After visiting Spurs’ ground for the NFL at the back end of last year, their facilities in the concourse is night and day to what we currently have. Having said that, the argument is there to not allow the chicken bites and chips posse any more comfort away from the terraces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows maybe they can remodel it to the extent we can bridge the gap, but him not somehow don’t think so. This is all only speculation at this point though so let’s see what the future holds.

Gor to be within the city centre, let's see if the thousands of season ticket holders will be happy having to miss a season (at least) whilst building work takes place. I honestly think a new stadium is a no brainer to hugely improve revenues and I'm still convinced that's the path they will follow. I also think the majority will be happy with a new stadium as long as it's within the city centre. Time will tell though, but am I fuck taking anything with any conviction Edwards says about anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
