I've got a great group of lads around me and would want to stay in the similar areas next to the same folk. This needs to be one of the crucial things. Not just keeping season ticket holders together where wanted, but having people sitting with their mates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearljam10 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Luke Edwards According to Newcastle United this evening they have not decided on capacity of new stadium, various options are being looked at for land adjacent to SJP, of varying sizes. Also adamant that final decision on whether to build new home or expand SJP has still not been made, presumably because PIF have to make it. Preferred option is a new stadium internally. I think we all need to wait for final plan to be made public. As frustrating as it is waiting #nufc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 It's a 25% increase tbf and I understand the concept of ensuring demand outstrips supply. What matters is what they do with the capacity. Obviously they'll want to increase the corporate offering but making sure there's a substantial signing/standing area too is essential in my opinion.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 31 minutes ago, Scoot said: Exactly. No wonder we get called twisty badtsrds that are never happy. 65,000, 13,000 more people is absolutely fine. If we go 70k + and then we have a bad season some "fans" will start finding excuses why they can't go and there'll be empty seats. Don’t think anyone is moaning or twisting. Just might think that if you’re going to build once a lifetime you should go big. We could probably sell another 15k season tickets if we wanted.

ExiledGeordie Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) 65k does seem quite small an increase but I guess they have their reasons. I was thinking 70-75 but no more than that. Edited March 13 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I agree that 65k is canny, as long as there is room for future expansion. I'd also be a up for a look which is in keeping with the city and the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Not going to get too invested until we get some actual real news on this, about what it’ll look like, where it’ll be and what the capacity will be.

NUFC_Chris Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Doubt it’ll be 65K. In Mark Douglas’ piece in the i paper a couple of days ago he was saying 68-69K. I’d guess this is speculation with a kernel of truth thrown in that we will indeed be moving stadiums. All the details re capacity etc won’t yet have been decided.

Wallsendmag Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 1 hour ago, Slim said: Presume they have enough data to know what the capacity should be so not going to worry about it. In their own words a members chance of ballot success is around 1 in 4 so it would seem an extra 8/9k extra non hospitality seats will still be undercooking things a fair bit. This means that they can keep ticket prices high with supply not increasing all that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Yeah. Best just to wait until things are official before we get in a tizzy. 65k seems low would have at least expected 5-10k more. It's fine if it's built to be expanded as needed though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) As long as theres decent scope to expand/add more seats/tiers in future if/when needed, then I think a new 65,000 stadium is fine. Shame though, that it seems it wont be right next to/overlap the leazes end of the stadium during the build, as had been guessed.

christ Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I dunno like but I tend to trust people at the club who have all of the data and not a bunch of people on the internet who get a semi-on at big numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedder Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As an ex-season ticket holder, now member, 65k would be very disappointing. If the team becomes more successful, which I guess is the aim, tickets will become harder and harder to get. Also think there’s a big trend for people wanting to go to see live sport. I think Arsenal, Spurs and the likes wish they had built bigger stadiums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf mine is much better than that bit I know some who's isn't as much as that. I'm sure the club said last year that your ballot success chances were about 1 in 4. It does appear that it's even less than that this season for many though. A modest increase such as this means there's still going to be many fans still locked out. Maybe that's what the club want, but really it's akin to throwing money away when you're locking potential customers out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
