bobbydazzla Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) 21 minutes ago, OpenC said: I just don't think there's an approach to the Arena that equals virtually any of the approaches to SJP from the city. IMO you'd just end up with hundreds of billions of cars parked on all those derelict little streets, people going straight to the game and people going straight home. It's far enough away and through a dismal enough part of town to make people think, "I'll just go to the game" I reckon. Once you get to that mindset, you might as well put it out at Callerton Parkway Chin up fella Millions of billions of people have watched Giggs at the arena and the only complaint I hear is that the venue is utter dogshit, not the location. It's 10 minutes brisk walk from our current home with plenty of decent boozers nearby Being at the arena site would be nowt like moving to a soulless out of town location like Great Park or Silverlink And I don't think we'll move to the Arena site, but lets be a bit more positive about its merits as an acceptable location for the Sven Adult Books Magpie Megadome Edited October 3 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a hedgerow high enough for a horse to practice jumping over that would be as big as an east stander lying on the track. Bad enough having Amnesty after us, let alone PETA.

They are skint & Louis-Dreyfus could definitely be persuaded to allow it if the financial incentive is significant enough. A Mackem on RTG has posted about hearing a rumour that we have discussed it with them already. A two year ground share apparently. I just can't imagine Northumbria Police agreeing to 40k+ Newcastle fans descending on Sunderland every other week. I don't doubt that SAFC would potentially be up for it but it'd be a massive issue with the amount of absolute doylems on both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he had to issue a grovelling apology for letting us use a fucking bar in January. I genuinely think he’d be run out of town if he did that.

Keegans Export Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) 1 hour ago, Kanji said: unless corporate + stadium sponsor name = +25m a year, I am still struggling to see how this massively closes the PSR gap unless they raise ticket prices a massive % (which would go down awfully). Of course we will have a nice healthy bump of annual revenues from this for increased matchday income, some additional events/concerts, and of course some naming rights too I am sure. TBH, for me, this still is more about the next stage in our evolution as a club to have world class facilities and show the footballing world of our true ambitions. Don't disagree at all with your last paragraph there but in terms of income, and assuming we're talking pure capital investment rather than loans... An extra 10k STs at £700 each = £7m/year An extra 8k "general sale" seats at £50 per game = £7.5m/year An extra 2k Corporate at £7k each = £14m/year Obviously these are all just numbers plucked out of thin air but that's just shy of £30m/year which I think is more than we got from our soirée into the Champions League. I haven't included in that any potential naming rights, extra fixtures from cup or European games or other things like concerts etc. Edited October 3 by Keegans Export Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
