Absolutely not.

It would however be a great location for a small stadium for North Shields. It has been sold to developers though, whoever they may be, and we’ll likely see some houses on it.

It would be easy to take a spur off the Metro down there too.

I hear you, maybe doesn’t tick all the right boxes. I thought it was likely going to be flats as well when I saw it which feels really shit. Royal Quays is already on its arse, it feels like a dead zone round there and could do with something to breathe life into it

Ironically the football soccerdome on the otherside was bought and run down by Mike Ashley.

 

Bigger space but I can't imagine he would sell it to Newcastle lol

What is it now? I used to love playing fives there. Is it just abandoned now?

It’s never been owned by him, he took the lease on when he bought JJB out of administration, but he never owned the building.

I actually forwarded the details of the building for sale sign onto Costco a few months back, because they are expanding in the U.K.

I doubt they would take it on, but it really needs to be like a supermarket or Primark if Newcastle Quays next door is going to have any chance of getting customers back. The building is owned by a different company though.

Not really, it’s also not that far away from Percy Main or Meadowell to warrant it. A decent footpath would be sufficient.

Situated a brisk 1 minute run for your life away from Meadowell Metro

Wallsend lass ? I reckon she done it to you.

 

Oh aye, I did nothing, we met in the Jacuzzi and she took me into the changing room, her rat face boyfriend turned up later in his Citroen AX, I'm sure the whole thing was in VIZ a few months later.

Way too close to their Gateshead site.

 

They would just cannibalise sales from each other.
