Buy the leftover slides from the now demolished Wet n Wild

Build a muckle slide from the Quayside Wetherspoons down to the new floating Sven Adult Books Magpie Megadome

Finish your £1.25 pint of John Smiths in Spoons at 14.45. Hop on the slide and you'll be at the ground in under 2 mins.

Safely in your seat before Hey Hey Lets Go gets aired by DJ Onedek

Would be magnificent

Pipe dream i know, but wouldn't it be awesome if a 90k stadium could be built actually over the river. Would instantly make the stadium the most famous in the world purely for the architectural and engineering brilliance it would take. Could also 


Are you alright?

Takes a big old toot on his pipe, has a brilliant pipe dream, starts typing out his dream, nods off before finishing typing 

 

We've all been there

I know us amateur property developers, civil engineers and town planners have talked the Arena site to death for various reasons

 

But

 

My good lord, a massive state of the art stadium perched on high ground above the banks of the Tyne

 

Imagine that being the main thing millions of billions of people see as they cross a bridge into Newcastle by rail or road

 

It'd be absolutely fucking breath taking. A proper statement piece

Orange: Castle Leazes

Purple: Leazes Park

Green: Strawberry Place/Sela fan park (Gallowgate expansion)

Blue: Arena site

I vote blue 

 

Add in under neath the bridge as well, alongside pottery lane for the craic.

Is there a risk to building a stadium by the river? 
 

Does the Tyne flood?

 

Is a risk area with rising sea levels?

 

Flood risk is unlikely to be an issue for the arena site, the site is all flood zone 1 (which is everywhere with less than 1 in 1000 year probability of flooding from rivers and sea).

 

Part of Skinnerburn Road is flood zone 2 (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 year probability), which could require some mitigation to ensure access but that would probably be pretty straightforward.

 

There would be a flood risk assessment with any planning application and that would take into account climate change, but given the levels of the site there would be unlikely to be any showstopping flood risk issue.

Don't say that, we could then feasibly be in the deathly grips of the north sea!

Plus didn’t the quayside flood earlier this year, not sure what the arena sight is above sea level though.

The arena site is raised by a considerable amount. To think about it, it is about the level of the rest of the city centre, but the road beneath it is alongside the river bank.

If that floods, then the whole of Newcastle would be in danger.

The arena site is 10-25m above the edge of the river, flooding from the river is never going to be an issue for the site itself.

Was going to say. Used to park down there quite a bit and there’s a steepish hill up to the arena and loads of steps up if you go under the Redheugh Bridge.

Discussing the relocation of the ground with mates at work yesterday and the overwhelming consensus was to move next to the river at the Arena site. Someone mentioned they had heard that NUFC might have talked to the architects at Everton's new ground about the logistics of building next to a river. Has anyone else heard anything like that?
