New Everton stadium

It looks worse though. Internally Spurs stadium looks much better. Everton’s just looks like a German stadium that uses bleachers.

I’d be dissapointed if we fall short of a 70k capacity. The location is fair with me, although so have concerns over the bandstand terrace of Leazes Park.

The rest of it comes down to details really, what exactly it will offer, and what it will look like.

I think whatever what it is, it will likely be a lot more acceptable to a Gallowgate extension that still leaves the rest of the stadium with a lot to be desired about.

 

Yeah exactly my thoughts. First thing I looked for was the capacity and was underwhelmed with it being under 70k. I was hoping 75k-80k but overall it does look exciting. Can't wait for further plans to be released 👍

Yeah, ai’d accept 70k to be honest, but just under just seems like they should have just added an extra row around it.

You’d hope that the design would allow for fairly easy expansion if needed, 70k could be a conservative starting point but with the ability to fairly easily add an extra couple of thousand if needed

Christ, that feels ages away. 

Took Spurs about 10/11 years from announcing to opening the doors of their new stadium. 
 

I fear we’d have a similar timeline.

Yeah, quite possibly.

I have always said that I think we are 6-10 years away from a new stadium.

We are still probably 3 years away from spades on the ground.

Glad the club have seen sense. Now we just need some of the fans to 🤞🏻

 

Still find this view/tone quite obnoxious.  Fans are allowed to have the opposing view without being told they're not seeing sense.

Just hope PIF have the balls unlike John Hall to ride out the planning process, the majority of Tyneside will want this stadium, but there will be a very vocal minority of Swampys, mackems and anti Saudi brigade who will kick up a stink.


The other proposal which includes leaving the East Stand largely untouched, just doesn’t cut it if where looking to be best in class.

 

The East Stand will need demolished like the flyover before long.

Fans are allowed their view, but the ‘I’ve got my season ticket and I’ll not move despite it keeping others out, and holding the club back’ is allowed to be called out for what it is.

One reason why I think they might opt for redevelopment of SJP/Gallowgate. 
 

If they didn’t want to commit to a brand new build and all the challenges that will come with it. 
 

Hopefully this plan is announced soon by the club, this could be a real catalyst for both the club and the city. A whole regeneration of that area.

This, and the majority of the rest of the stadium will only be 20-30 years behind it.

I don't have a season ticket. I'm opposed to it.

I’d say it’s up to the fans and the citizens of Newcastle, and Tyneside to be doing all they can to put in letters of support, even sharing an online petition in support.

Don't think there's any need to get into the nitty gritty of the debate again. But in a nutshell I'd sooner stay at SJP than see us occupy a bog seat design like Spurs.

 

We all know where you stand on the issue, there's no need to be an arse about it. There are good reasons to move and there are good reasons to stay; it depends on what you value and not everyone is the same.


I know where you're coming from but if you take the SoFi stadium as an example, that is a bowl style stadium before they put the elaborate swish on top of it. And when you see that stadium from the inside it looks spectacular to say the least. The Spurs stadium is also a bowl but with their one tier kop stand a slightly different bowl shape but also just as spectacular.

 

I think we can be rest assured that whatever 'bowl' design they do come up with it will be out of this world.

What's the tl;dr of why you loved the Spurs stadium? Not being an arse, just asking.

 

Went for the away game and my take aways were - big ring of corporate around 3/4 of the ground was grim, lacked character, view from 10th row was substantially worse than would be from equivalent of SJP. Caveat that didn't go to bar. Atmosphere was also proper shit - but don't think can pin that on stadium much.

 

I just found it very impressive, high-sided, seats quite close together, I like the continuous ring shape as well. Class gold cock on the top of course. Even the massive club megastore was impressive since we didn't even had a club shop then. 

 

I went during the time I didn't care about Newcastle so maybe anything progressive was unbelievable to me :lol:

 

Spurs were also good at that time.

The East Stand is what makes me 100% certain we’ll be leaving SJP. You simply cannot increase it to a size that is sufficient.

 

I do not want to see a “lipstick on a pig” Aviva Stadium style refurbishment done to it either. It looks utter shite.

 

Real shame as staying is the number one choice for me but if this location is true then I’m warming to it.

Fair to say just about club that has built a new stadium has had a vocal percentage of fans who have opposed it, usually for heritage reasons, which is fair enough.

 

But given the choice, how many of them would want their old stadium back?
