Whitley mag Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) East Stand built with raac concrete by any chance, be a nightmare for the rest of the ground if the flask and rug brigade have to be dispersed.

It was, but it seems the amount of spilled Bovril over the years has strengthened it to the point where Leazes Terrace isn't the problem anymore...... its that the East Stand is now indestructible.

patrone Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Was in the platinum on Saturday and I've noticed the receipts for the bar now show "NUFC Hospitality" rather than Sodexo that it was last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Had an email this afternoon advertising "Discounted Hospitality" for the Wings Suite - down from £300+VAT to £250+VAT for Burnley and Palace games. Still 200+ spots available for each game. Does feel that if the performances and results don't pick up it may look like they've gone too far too soon on the upgrades to the Hospitality offering.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Hopefully If they don't sell they'll put them into the resale for members as Leazes end tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just poorly thought out and overpriced for an area behind the goal. Fair enough have a sports type bar area if you must, but for me you’re trying to attract fans with a little bit of extra cash rather than corporate for an area like that in the ground. As a comparison the Barracks in the Milburn is cheaper and is sold out for the season. Edited September 21, 2023 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidity and greed leading to unnecessary empty seats. And you’re right - they’ve jumped the gun, but it tells you where they intend to take it.

GeordieT Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 There for “an initial lifespan of three years as the club explores potential uses for the site”. So would appear any expansion would be a minimum of c. four years away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it being chosen as a venue if UK/Ire get Euro 28 i doubt we could have done anything by then anyway with all the planning, design period then all the work with the metro station.

Kanji Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Tbh there’s no way an expansion of that kind could be done anytime before 3 years anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one location they have the land....in the other location they don't. It would make far more sense to work on the gallowgate expansion whilst spending the next 5 years buying small bits of land like st James terrace and st James st to at least give the east stand a chance of having a larger foot print Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
