Don’t know how accurate this could be…option C for me!

Looks like just what might happen if planning regs and physics weren't a consideration

Option C (despite probably being close to impossible) has turned me on a little…

A very well-made version of all the ideas we came up with on here in 2021. I love it tbh.

 

I like that the options all feel possible as well, or at least they don't feel really far-fetched. Even option B is only not possible because of the right to light for Leazes iirc.

So much work and detail in that video yet they didn't know Newcastle was one word.  Worrying.

[Stifler]

Aye, rebuild for me, not with that design though.

[Wandy]

Option C for me. Although we could design something better looking than that. I think the integration with Leazes Park looks fantastic too.

[Kid Icarus]

A, B, then C. 

 

B's a non-starter, A much more likely and plausible than all of them I think.

If we go for option C then I think I will keel ower with excitement.

[cubaricho]

Option C (with a much better looking stadium) would be massive and why I think a lot on here would go for.

Man Utd discussions starting. We can’t afford to be left behind…

Would literally commit murder for C.

[LFEE]

Option C for me.

[pubteam]

I've always thought option c was the best route, the park is in need of major development anyway. Surely it would suit the council or whatever bullshit non profit they have looking after it if Newcastle become custodians of the park, imagine approaching the stadium through the park, it would be unreal.

[UncleBingo]

C for me marra.

[Keegans Export]

If Option C is viable (big "if" in my opinion) that would be amazing.

Seb Coe can fuck right off as well

As someone who isn't from the area and has only been around SJP once - what would be the main constraints making it a "big if" as an option?

Eating into Leazes Park is the primary issue I'd say

[CPL]

Wow awesome video! Option C for me!

Japanese knotweed in the park

I think the park being a Grade II listed park is the primary issue.  Option C should be a non-starter.

One of the main ones would be getting permission from the Freeman of the city, although there are rumbling that they are receptive of an offer of a land swap.

 

In the location the video depicted, it would mean taking out a bandstand area. Technically it could be relocated though, and was massively damaged a few years back and had to be virtually rebuilt then.

[OpenC]

Is Option A 95% the same as Celtic Park or my imagination? Have they got a similar issue to us with the small stand, or are they just happy with how it is?

Why should it be a non-starter? The park is a tip and if the club can work with the council/friends of Leazes Park so that new parkland is created if SJP is demolished and the club takeover management of the park it is win/win for everybody.
