Just reads like ITK wankers at crossed wires to me. His first tweet with the outlines certainly confused the Twitter lot, not sure this bloke tweets regularly and seems clued up, don’t think he would make this up. This pic makes me wonder how they’re going to do it though, if they’re not encroaching this much ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pic makes me wonder how they’re going to do it though, if they’re not encroaching this much ? Building along the edge of Barrack Road looks possible while losing as little of LP as possible. Struggling to see how the bandstand at least wouldn’t be impacted. But you can reduce the footprint by building up - as in having the stadium built above bars, restaurants, shops, even parking etc. And by finishing three stands - assuming 70k capacity - you could get all the current ST holders into the new ground before demolishing the current SJP and completing the new ground.

Stifler Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 IF what he is saying is true, then it would still mean that we would need to find somewhere else to play, as SJP would have to be knocked down to complete the rebuild. If you aren’t encroaching on Leazes Park all that much, then that basically means we are building over the car park and that’s it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I'm very sceptical. He doesn't seem to actually know what the plans are but he's got a hold of a slightly wonky image and a tiny snippet of text? Plus that picture doesn't really show anything other than "We can't just extend L7 all the way round because all of this stuff is in the way". He seems to suggest a rebuild on the current site is what the picture is referring to but I don't see any evidence of that. I'm much more inclined to believe Hope that it's either extending the Gallowgate or rebuilding somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If it's legit it looks very much like an illustration of the limitations and the reasons that an extension of that kind can't be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case we would need a temporary home whilst it’s built. Peter is legit person he is a lawyer and always getting correct inside information.

Jackie Broon Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Could it be that he's talking about a new stadium on Castle Leazes that wouldn't creep into Leazes Park as much as he thought? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Still don't think an on site rebuild is possible due to 1. LP encroachment and 2. I don't think you could build it without at least some time at another ground. Depending on where the footprint sits you basically increase one or the other factor on a sliding scale. That's not referring to a gradual rebuild of all sides btw, which could be done, but would retain the capacity limits as discussed.

Not sure it’ll be rotated, but might explain the wrap design if they’re still short on room towards Leazes Terrace possibly.

Joelinton7 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 At least when big Joe shoots it might land in another stadium, instead of on the moon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Was in the returned away seats today and, fuck me, it's such a striking view. Never seen anything like it in all the other grounds I've been to. Not passing judgement on what's actually best, but think a Gallowgate expansion with the East as it is would *look* class - still view of the city, big imposing stadium.

But most documents at that stage would be treated as commercial in confidence; and there would be zero reason to show them to a random who happened to be a lawyer. Unless he has a pal in one of the design team’s offices who likes sharing stuff - an architect, engineer or QS - then the odds are he’s talking out of his backside.

You could incorporate that view into a new stadium. Have a section cut away with a panoramic view of the city with the Tyne Bridge as the centrepiece. Would look class.
