Can the Milburn not be extended upwards? It would probably require a road re-route to counter encroachment onto the current road, but it’s been done before somewhat…

 

You want another tier above Level 7? Really?

 

You already almost need binoculars at the top of L7. Anything higher than that and you'll need the James Webb Telescope.

Yes, if it can be done, why not.

Even if it’s just a few extra rows…

 

Going full Hamm on that lopsided-ness eh?

 

Be class if we could at least have a matching gallowgate end like, but maybe a full height single tier!

 

Sounds class in my head[emoji38]

This is along the lines of what we need. L7 extended to Gallowgate and a lined-up glass wall on top of whatever East Stand we end up with, so that all sound is kept enclosed within the stadium.

If there’s gonna be a poll I think, St. James’ Park “No! You can’t remove leases terraces brick by brick!” Is too long for a thread title like.

TBF it is possible to move a building, it's just to expensive, Beamish Museum do it all the time but on a much smaller scale with donated buildings ready for demolition

Just keep in mind that any prospective new stadium (if they had decided they had to go that route to increase capacity, at a different location) could cost around £500+ million (London Stadium cost £486 million, in 2011 money - or £689 million, in 2022 money - according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Stadium).

 

If a new stadium would cost ~£500 million, then a sizable budget would likely be available to move some historic buildings to enable the ground to be expanded without the expense of a whole new stadium.  For example, £50 million to move the buildings and £200 million to expand and renovate St. James' Park saves then 50% of the cost of a new stadium.

I've had a re-think this is how we should proceed,

1 Dig doon Al la barca style

2Take the roof off the east stand its fooking awful. 

3 make the east stand safe standing only

 

Me and me fatha reckon that brings the capacity to 71,114

 

I'm gana email AS gadgie anyone got his email address
