Pokerprince2004 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 3 minutes ago, Stifler said: 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 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Quote The idea would be to finish the construction of a new stadium within six to seven years, which could mean Newcastle move into it at the start of the 2031-32 season. Christ, that feels ages away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Whitley mag Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) 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.

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.

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.

Magpie Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) 1 hour ago, Yorkie said: 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. Edited February 4 by Magpie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 23 minutes ago, Superior Acuña said: 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 Spurs were also good at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
