cp40 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Plans to up the capacity to 70k (by turning the pitch 90 degrees!) shown to investors in the past few years... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-ingenious-plan-turn-st-16138611 looks mental- would it not be easier just to move to castle Leazes , that french woman that stopped us is no longer there.

I really hope who ever buys the club is looking into this. Really interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Interesting idea. Murrayfield for our home games in the interim? Pretty sure the uni have sold Leazes Tce from what I’ve heard n all, not that it’ll make much difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Where would we play for 2-3 years while that was done? Wouldn't have to move? Just be no stand behind one of the goals for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Is anyone free Thursday next week? Between 4pm-7pm there is a public consultation (at the Sandman hotel) regarding the new proposed development on the Strawberry land (St James’ Park Metro station). I think it’s very important for as many fans as possible to go and make sure that we don’t want a development that will prevent a FULL expansion of the Gallowgate end (not a smaller or partial expansion), and the Metro station. Greg[/member] any chance you could make it? I know this is the sort of stuff that you do for a living. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to happen and nothing will be done to stop it. It's a new stadium or bust going forward if NUFC want to expand. Ashley has won, we are f*cked and it has all happened with barely a whimper of complaint from anyone within the city. Geordie pride eh? This where the likes of the Magpie Group should have been directing their energy, instead of pointless chants outside of SJP & Sports Direct on Northumberland Street. Days to go until Rafa's probable last ever home game and not a peep out of them for months. They have shown themselves to be utterly inept at effecting any kind of change.

Out of interest what did you offer up in the way of forcing change? Gave up my season ticket, will not set foot in SJP till Ashley has gone. Absolutely refused to buy anything from SD. Attended all Magpie Group meetings & events. Phoned radio phone-ins. Had numerous arguments with friends & family to try to convince them to boycott matches. Enlightened them on the scandal of how Ashley is quietly asset stripping us and how they are actively supporting it by continuing to turn up at SJP and renewing their season tickets. Any ideas of what else I could have done? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 So as well as no extension of the stadium it will no longer form part of the skyline because of these Ashley towers ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 So as well as no extension of the stadium it will no longer form part of the skyline because of these Ashley towers ? Not just that, but the Metro will not be able to be expanded west wards from SJP. This is pretty much the only way to extend it, without developing lines separately from the current lines.

Non issue, it'll never be expanded west. It is in the thinking to be, as is a whole host of other areas also. Wouldn't happen for 20 plus years anyway and would take a massive amount of money in a form of a grant from the government. Having in recent times paid huge amounts for the upgrade of the system (still ongoing) and the new Metro Fleet (upcoming), I don't think the government will see expansion as a priority anytime soon.
