Kid Icarus Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The point made about stadium rebuild/expansion meaning it'll be more affordable for people with less money has hardly any credibility like. Spurs' stadium is often pointed to as what we could have if we do it right. If this is doing it right I'd rather do it the 'wrong' way. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaVqbKd/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still build a new stadium and fuck over pensioners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie1892 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 ive been told by someone that we are exploring a new training facility up near the airport. Which to be fair makes a lot of sense as they all pretty much live in Darras Hall anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timnufc22 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Whatever happens, it's vital the seating arrangements incorporate more signing/standing sections. If the gallowgate end was extended to match the rest of the ground, it would be a thing of beauty. Some great pictures here someone has posted over the years: https://www.facebook.com/GallowgateExpansion/photos I would miss the sloped roof, but there's no doubting how imposing and intimidating this would be. You could get an additional seats in the L4 milburn/gallowgate corner and along with the new L7 seats you could get an extra 8k seats, possibly 9k who knows. This would take the capacity to potentially 61k. Is there a reason why we don't host more gigs etc for additional revenue? Perhaps there would be more scope with additional inside facilities added to a new gallowgate end? Capacity wise, I think 61k is enough and it's important to keep some element of demand as someone said earlier. Edited April 3 by timnufc22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Would people be bothered if we ever renamed the stadium if the future? Is is a big deal - not from Newcastle so don’t know what the feeling would be - Obviously don’t want an obscure name like KitKat arena - something like Adidas Arena, Allianz Stadium, Aramco Arena etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Not sure I’d care that much. It’ll always be St. James’ Park. Football’s a carcass anyway in terms of the off-pitch stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Without the rules to prevent our progress, I'd be annoyed. With the rules as they are, it's understandable if it brings in extra revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football’s a carcass anyway in terms of the off-pitch stuff Yeah it’s an avenue we would have to explore I’d guess - I suppose for many the stadium being as (location) probably means more One of the things we have to improve is the concourses in the ground - they are awful - I suppose lack of size doesn’t help but the in ground experience is so bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know both wouldn’t bring the same money as an official ground name but it would still be a decent chunk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Was early for meeting my friend at the boozer yesterday so I had a wander around Leazes Terrace. It really is a beautiful building like. So much bigger than I realised too, moving it brick by brick to Beamish would be hard work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I don't know who else has it but one thing I've noticed recently is Man City's advertising hoardings are obnoxiously big. They seem to be twice the height. I assume everyone will do it soon. Not sure if that would require killing the first row? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have built it like that rather than other grounds that end up having the first row missing when required. Or like you say its money and nowt else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It's two rows of boards, that's why the look so big, City had to remove around 1,100 seats to install them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or like you say its money and nowt else For some reason I only noticed it this season, but I just looked it up and they installed the two-tiered advertising boards in 2021 so they could offer "the most commercially valuable pitch side media space in the Premier League." Took out 1,100 seats to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing explored in a rebuild is the possibility of shifting the pitch into the milburn and raising it so pitch level is above where the press boxes are, then construct the new east stand further away from leazes terrace with the extra space, that would also enable more scope to fill out the east stand corners that hold barely 2000 each. The new east stand could contain new changing rooms, tunnel and media/TV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
