Yes. In an ideal world it could be a light rail extension to the transport infrastructure. It could also be a pedestrian and cycle route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has to make that decision though, it’s either or, I doubt it can be both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Let's keep SJP, develop a new stadium on the arena site and rotate every other week. Could sell half-season tickets to just one or the other. More money. More fans able to attend. All our problems will disappear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate it’s a hundred yards or so, and only really relevant for fans going to/from the stadium via Central Station. resurface it, tidy it up, make it look nice, and that’s it done.

Not a cat in hell's chance, of course, which is why I said 'in an ideal world'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vedder Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) That would be my preferred option over extending SJP. As somebody mentioned, the prospect of just more level 7 seats isn’t very appealing. A new ground where we could actively make singing areas without the legacy issues of ST holders. Plus more corporate money to help us overcome FFP restrictions. I feel like our plans to be an elite club are in danger of being watered down. Edited March 4 by Vedder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Just watched that Tyneside life’s video on SJP expansion. He genuinely doesn’t have a clue for most things but he does have an interview with the chair of the Leazes Park conservation committee who is also on the fan advisory board, and she said they’d be open to a conversation where SJP is moved further into the park, in exchange for funding guarantees for the park to improve the facilities etc there.

Doc Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 This is the best option by a country mile, expanding/upgrading SJP just seems far too restrictive numbers wise. 65000 will hopefully be nowhere near enough for ticket demand if the club get to where they state we want to be, as others have said and I cant see any way to get the required corporate numbers in SJP to hopefully keep general sales tickets to still be relatively affordable. Probably the only way to keep it near enough where it is with minimal disruption, not overly keen on the Arena site myself and anywhere else can feck clean off. Blank Cheque for funding guarantees for Leazes park in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 In this dimension its not possible to build a big stadium anywhere or anyhow where many of the seats aren't 'level 7' esque in terms of view and distance from the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant keep a good narcissist down 🤓 Same old .... puts a vid up which references a previous vid where he talked to City Councillor Marion Williamson who specifically says there would be probs less objections this time around ( re building on Leazes Park ) then in the comments in response to someone he says theres NO chance of us building on Leazes Park .
