TJJ88 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 SJP deserves a trophy before a farewell at least. I think there was plans to at 8k to Gallowgate & Milburn corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Madness people talking stadium moves whilst Bruce is still here, the SD signs are staying and the current setup seems to be crippled by indecision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Surely safe standing will increase the stadium capacity by quite a lot should that get approved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine it's not an easy site to develop with being industrial. Maybe do a swap. As manorpark has alluded to, city planners were unhappy with original scheme. This have now been revised, and proposals for the site are now moving forward. Edited October 13, 2021 by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not the timescales for planning approval that made them resort to SJP redevelopment ? Edited October 13, 2021 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not the timescales for planning approval that made them resort to SJP redevelopment ? Yes, the City Council had approved it, and (amazingly) the Freemen had agreed to support it. They liked the plans for an enlarged Leazes Park encroaching into part of the land that had been occupied by the football stadium. That (St James' Park) was going to be reduced in size by about 50% of land area, and would have been converted into an indoor arena. Local protest groups had gained support though and would have taken it to a public enquiry. It would all have taken far too long SJH said, so they opted to expand St James' Park instead.

I think an enlarged and improved Leazes Park incorporating the current SJP site could bring real benefits to the city. It would open up Leazes terrace and bring an improved green space right into the city. It would certainly encounter opposition again, but I think the overall benefits to the city with usable park space would gain a lot of support.

This is how Leazes Park opposite Leazes Terrace (with the East Stand gone) was going to look like with the half-sized St James' Park Arena plans . . .
