bobbydazzla Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) A member of the city council has leaked the plans More like a member of the city council has leaked a massive dose of acid into Tyneside Life’s morning brew I managed 30 seconds of that moron’s drivel and then had to switch off Edited October 12, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number37 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 It would be mint if it turns out the tennis courts are listed too because they were the first of their kind in Britain or something. Also, might just be a technicality, and I'm not one to piss on anyone's parade but even from a very quick glance I get the impression that there's nowhere near enough room to just casually slide Leazes Terrace back a wee bit.

Leazes Terrace is actually an enormous structure. I don't think people even realise it's an entire rectangular block not just a single front/back street. Then take into account the fact that the park and Leazes Crescent are both Grade II listed, and there's hundreds of mature trees. There'd be nothing left of it all by the time you were finished. The age old 'take it to Beamish' joke is genuinely a more reasonable suggestion. There's no doubt that the club has the money and means to do it. Demolishing and rebuilding stuff in fascimile isn't even particularly difficult. But it doesn't mean they'd ever get consent to do so. The club will be focusing on what they can do with St James Terrace as that is the more immediate, and more surpassable barrier. Along with what they can do with the metro to extend the Gallowgate.

Also, there are probably over 100 different owners and no matter how much money they throw at people there will always be one or two who will refuse to sell their homes. Even if the council were to agree to undertake a compulsory purchase that is not a quick and easy process or guaranteed to go through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenC Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 They're just going to keep moving everything vaguely south east, I heard. All the buildings and the roads, everything. River Tyne, the lot. The unfortunate outcome is that Sunderland will end up in the North Sea but it may solve their catchment area issues at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Hosting Euro 2028 is a bit of an irritance tbh in terms of timing. I think you're going to be pushed to get work completed before then, while starting any work after that puts it years down the road. Hopefully we sack it off if necessary to get the stadium expanded.

So why would there be such a committee at all then? He made the video so he could claim some ITK credit if it ever happens. Trouble is he will look a bit of a tit if it does.

Boooo! Give me a group full of games full of radge foreigners taking over town any day. The Matt Le Piss in me says we’ll have announced a new stadium by then anyway.
