Comegetasample Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Time for the thread to be renamed St James Park sans Leazes Terrace then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Can understand a bit more now when they said the Gallowgate Club will be there this season but not the season after. Edited June 29, 2022 by bowlingcrofty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. Since Mehrdad commented on the 60-65,000 thing a while back - the logical step will no doubt be to expand the Gallowgate. I believe the Strawberry Place land development fell through as well? Perhaps a slight reconfiguration of the East Stand as well. Would make sense as to only having 31,000 ST holders if the East Stand was also misplaced for a while? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Recall reading there were more season tickets holders living in Gateshead than in Newcastle. Given the whole NewcastleGateshead marketing, perhaps build a newbie, if we must, near Gateshead Stadium? Whadayasay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Expansion of our current ground is a no brainer if they can sort out the how with the city/owners/properties nearby. Would absolutely love to see the already monstrous stadium look even more intimidating! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hope they've come up with away of extending the East stand. Seems a waste of time doing anything if that can never be touched Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure the last expansion started during the 99/00 season and was ready for the start of 00/01. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hope they improve the food and drink quality in the ground. Not asking for ridiculous pricey gourmet shite a la Spurs but just better quality stuff in all areas of the ground. Plus would like to see things like Tyne Bank or Wylam beer instead of the piss swill that is Carling which is all you can really get.
