Yeah something iconic that would eclipse anything else in the country would sharp have people forgetting about St James. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not basic enough for the East Stand mob though. It needs to look much more Soviet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Unless an announcement is imminent, we're getting too close to Euro 2028 to achieve any noticeable enhancements to St James. Personally I think I new stadium will not happen, so any Gallowgate expansion and Leazes refurbishment will come around 2029-30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Leazes Park as close as possible to the current stadium. Turn the current ground into a Wembley way with bars and restaurants either side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 I really think you lose so much when you lose a stadium. Going to the Ethiad/Emirates/London St makes me sad when I think about what's tied up in their predecessors, nevermind what it'd be like losing SJP.

Kid Icarus Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 A new reason to be certain we're moving again then It's not implausible like, but I wish the balloon on it was forever burst, we knew without all reasonable doubt that we're staying at SJP and we could move on.

I never missed going to Maine Road, it has to be said. Highbury was lovely, mind. But Arsenal’s new ground actually has an atmosphere. Don’t think West Ham’s move to the Taxpayer Stadium is a useful reference point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 I never made it to White Hart Lane but the Spurs stadium is incredible now. West Ham obviously terrible but they just saw the opportunity for a free ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 3 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: Also the Reuben’s didn’t get involved just to turn up to a few games.. land development is their thing so if SJP were to be eventually knocked down.. they would have first option as bringing something totally new to that area. No they won’t. NUFC own the stadium, but the Freeman of the city own the land and lease it to NUFC with the condition that it has to be used for sporting and/or leisure activities for the people of Newcastle. If we do a land swap with Castle Leazes, then where SJP is will be turned into an extension of Leazes Park, with potentially a permanent multi purpose fan zone, and/or an amphitheatre like structure. If we move away from the area altogether (say the Arena site) then the Freeman of the city will take back control of the site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing he had a say in was the blinds that cut off the top tiers, however they are rarely used for Atlanta games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 How poor we were during that PSR deadline day has made my mind up that we have to leave SJP behind and build a new stadium. We have to avoid selling our best players to rivals in oreder to generate revenue. Having a stadium that generates income is one of the way to get the club to compete financially with others and I don't see a minor expansion to SJP can do that. Leazes Park or Castle Leazes are just about acceptable locations to replace the current site for me. Hopefully, who our owners are, and even with people.like Eales from his Atlanta days, we'll not get a typical modern stadium but get something really, really top class that the we have not seen yet on our shores. Better than even Spurs' hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Said it the other day. Walking around SJP on a non-matchday you realise just how grotty & dated it is. And that's just the exterior. As people have already said, it's the location that makes the home of NUFC special. Building a new stadium 200 yards north of the current location is not going to make that location any less special. In fact, incorporate the new stadium into a new-look Leazes park and the new location could look incredible if done right. It's time to make the move. If the Saudis put that move to Leazes Park on the table, and the fanbase somehow reject it, then they wont be here for the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
