Just as an FYI in discussing this area. Doesn’t mean that housing will be built. The land can still be sold by them say to the club if they want to build a stadium.

Utilitia Arena defo not going to be knocked down for 4-5 years Heliport owner has no plans to sell Homes England just bought the brownfield land and already got surveyors / land prep etc. Arena Stadium is not happening like. Neither was the club acquiring St James metro site, until it was (as I said earlier). I'm not saying we WILL move there, just that it's not impossible. Land prep work would have to happen for either plan so that can happen regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be social housing you can bet on that, there might be a tiny proportion available for rent and believe me it won’t be affordable rent that will help homeless people. If they were to build all social housing on the site I’d fully agree with you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of brownfield just off the length of Scotswood road and the added economic benefits of a new stadium and successful football cl7b. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say it wasn't , it was you who said the scheme is only worth it if it's social housing. I said all types of housing need to build.

Kid Icarus Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 3 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: I spent several years accompanying my uncle with severe MD to SJP on a match day - believe me, getting to the Leazes end was no picnic for him. He struggled with that. Walking from central station to the arena (as we did for boxing one night) was a shitload easier. Appreciate what you're saying. Directly there, no question. From already being in the city centre it's a different story in terms of getting to the arena, but especially coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
