I’ll go one week in singing and one week in the abusing Longstaff area.  

 

Be nails to get seats in either area!

It's been a very long time since I last posted on here. Time to break my silence.

I'm 72 now and first went to St James's in the '60's. I went pretty much every other week and saw all the Fairs Cup games. 

It was a completely different ground then, in every way possible. For league games the atmosphere was pretty poor, only a few - and the Fairs Cup games - was the crowd rocking. 60000 Geordies shouting their hearts out. 

Going to the present day St James's, it's a totally different ground. 

A complete refurbishment will make it a completely different ground again. Capacity won't allow a new generation of fans to experience what I experienced.

For heavens sake, move to a new 'state of the art' ground with an 80000 capacity and let everyone experience the thrills of watching our team, and let the world look on in awe! 

I've lived in many houses in my life and loved them all. We all move on in life and learn to love new things. 

I, for one, ache to see the new ground in all it's majestic splendour. 

 

I’m near 50 and have not experienced as many iterations of the ground as you but 100% agree.  This is exactly how I feel.
