Lets say they commence 2029, 3 year programme. That's pretty much a decade from buy out. Edited April 30, 2024 by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not Manor Park that said the Gallowgate wasnt structurally strong enough to simply extend? Would need completely removed and rebuilt as it was literally built over the old footprint or something Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 I reckon they'll demolish the East Stand and rebuild full of hospitality. After being there at the weekend, the view you get from those seats is too primo to be a "standard" price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, put the posh seats and the cameras in the East Stand and make the rest amazing I reckon. I still think three big sides and one small looks like Parkhead which looks amazing I think, and doesn't traditionally struggle for atmosphere.

Mentioned this a few weeks ago - to have no corporate at all running along the entire touchline isn't sustainable to maximising income.

J7 Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 Quite disappointed it’s not a new stadium, however hopefully it’s something innovative and not just a copy of the Leazes at the Gallowgate. Personally think the two bigger stands are terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't reduce capacity building the Milburn/Leazes extension, so fingers crossed Overly romantic and maybe being different for differents sake but I'd still like a Tyne Bridge arc in a Gallowgate extension. Squeezes an extra thou in and would look purdy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 (edited) I'm pretty much expecting everything short of a new stadium. Once the works done, I imagine it will look radically different, new roof, new seats, new layout, new corporate, new media area, new dugouts and changing rooms. SJP needs to be fit for purpose but by keeping the ground in the same location, you keep it's soul alive. I think the compromise might be a major stadium sponsorship, perhaps not the name itself but pretty much everything else. Undoubtedly from the middle east. 20m per year for the next 20 years wouldn't half pay for some of the expansion costs. Imagine something like SELA in neon lights shining across the city, which don't forget you can see as far as the A1. I think I can just about take this compromise for a class stadium.
