Its not about aesthetics. Its about everyone being in a pub thats heaving. My son in law got us tickets and my lass a ticket whilst we were walking over the Red Heuegh bridge. They were in France but we were always going to love going to the pink Triangle in  Toon . We saw a Bruno masterclass and Lewis Miley slots his first goal. (WTF).  Maggie punched the bloke in front of e her. Absolutely fucking brailliant

I know it'd never going to happen but anyone from the conatruction industry know how long would a brick by brick process take for a building as big as the that to move?

I’m a quantity surveyor.  I actually worked on a renovation in the North East where a sandstone brick facade replaced in sections.  The cost would be mind-blowing; yes, the materials wouldn’t be as expensive given most are recycled, but all the finishes would need to be done.

 

If you’re demolishing a sandstone facade by hand, and you’d need to number the blocks etc as they come out, then I’d allow 50% additional time for everything that goes with that.   Say 4 hours per m2 of labour - comfortably. For comparison, a two brick thick wall (very thick) takes about 2.5 hours to demolish per m2 - but those walls are likely less thick than those sandstone blocks, you’d need to be a lot less careful, and the removed blocks would need to be carefully enumerated and stored.

 

The costs would be insane.

When you put it like that it sounds potentially very cheap. 

 

Leazes Terrace is less than 150m long. Let's say generously it's 15m tall, that's 2,250m2 for the front, the same for the back, plus the two ends, around 5000m2.

 

Four hours of labour per m2 makes 20,000 hours. 

 

I don't know what this skilled labour costs, but let's assume £25/hour.

 

That's only £500k. Pocket change in the scheme of a stadium rebuild.

That’s just the facade, and that’s only the demolition of the facade.  And labour costs are not the only cost in terms of that demolition. 

 

Its also listed so it’s a non-starter.

I know this is back of a fag packet but 50% additional labour to go from smashing a building down to carefully removing each brick and cataloging them seems way off - I’ll go with 10x.

I would if the bricks were the same size as a house brick.  But they’re much, much bigger - far less time removing the mortar. 
 

edit: when I was on a project in the NE replacing sandstone facade blocks, the total labour time per m2 was around 16 hrs/m2

Said it before. Easiest way is to incorporate those buildings within the new stand. 

Make a feature of it. Leave the far sides as the actually entrances. 

Simples

Leazes Terrace isn’t the biggest issue.  It’s the terrace on St James St next to it - that completely limits the footprint of the stand. You can’t make the East Stand footprint any bigger than it already is in any real sense.

That's just minor detail though

 

If we can move Leazes Terrace brick by brick, then doing the same to St James Street will be a piece of piss

 

Wonder if we could relocate both terraces to NEOM, that place could do with some historical buildings
