Rafalove Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 Stay at St James’. Do everything we can to expand. Under no circumstances should we ever move away from the city centre. Would kill something very unique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know old stadiums don't have the glitz or glamour, weren't built with mass corporate areas and restaurants or even nice communal areas for a drink, but I still prefer a stadium just being a good footballing venue first. San siro always sticks out to me as just visually imposing and impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 Forgetting for a second the temporary logistics of where to play for a couple years, would those opposed to a new stadium be more open to it if it was on the exact same site? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are built with glass and steel, which are as bland and soulless as it gets. Not just for football, but for architecture in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. I don’t see the temporary logistics as much of a problem. Just build some temporary stands in Gateshead. Would be a poor experience for a couple of years but completely worth it.

One thing is for sure SJP is certainly not a brutalist building. Interestingly, the 1973 newly-built East Stand does have a 'hint' of brutalism in its use of materials for its construction.

Dr.Spaceman Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 New stadium please. Hopefully it pisses off loads of people who sit there for 90 minutes and do nothing but tut and mutter to themselves when they're displeased with something, to the point they don't renew their tickets.

You’re talking hundreds of millions. £100m - £200m I reckon for the temporary stadium according to best estimates. Spurs cost £1.1bn, Everton seemingly heading towards £800m-£850m. All part of the investment to bring something spectacular that showcases the Saudis to the world via NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 I was in the Gallowgate today for the first time this season. Horrendous experience. No one within 30 seats of me in any direction made any attempt to sing at any point in the game. Until there is a significant change in demographics in the match going fans, I think good atmospheres are consigned to one off occasions like PSG.

Heron needs more mates in the corner, that's all it is. The random ballot and seating BS has ruined a lot of it. We were clinging on to something before that came into play.
