Same, but the city centre location is absolute deal breaker. FWIW I’m fine as long as they keep general sale and don’t go back to 100% ballot, but obviously that’s just for selfish reasons of access for me.

Pablo Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 New stadium like the Sofi, in Castle Leazes or Leazes park please and thank you. Good afternoon, good evening and good night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 they're not stupid enough to move it out of the city centre, there's absolutely no chance it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have lots of spare land to build a new stadium fairly easily. As you well know thats not the case for us. Most important thing is we have the money up front they don’t.

Keegans Export Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Agree with all the above - I'd rather stick with SJP exactly as it is than move out of the city Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Feels like a massive moment of truth all of this. We’ll know where they’re planning on taking the club pretty soon - one of those moments where actions speak louder than words. While I know that not everyone agrees re what should be done (new stadium would be my preference; plenty would rather see SJP expanded), I haven’t seen many (any?) who’d be happy to see the club shifted out of the city centre. I definitely wouldn’t be happy to see the club moved out into the suburbs. I do wonder what the consequences would be if they did, though. I suspect a lot of grumbling and complaining, followed by fortnightly sell-out crowds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know that the feasibility report is due, and that was before Man Utd started talking about a new stadium. They are trying to prepare the fans for news, and might be trying to appease those who may not agree with what the decision is. We have also parked our tanks on the Premier Leagues lawn. ‘We know that Man Utd want to build a new stadium, we know that currently there is no rules preventing us from spending a fuck load of money on a new stadium, don’t try to bring in rules to prevent that’.

If the intention is to go bigger than 60,000 or so and sell out for all league, cup and European games then it needs people coming from outside the north east and a city centre location makes that easier. And anywhere else and the public transport becomes a big issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it. I'm just impatient and this is the second time the news has been pushed. Summer is now October. And even when it eventually comes out it don't imagine it be set in stone. It's been nearly three years and we don't even have training ground plans. Anyway I don't want to be mr negative. It is exciting and hopefully by October we will know more.

WilliamPS Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 My own guess is staying, but with an extra tier on the gallowgate and two rows of boxes added to the east stand. As boxes can be built up instead of back that might be possible without impacting the street behind. Capacity up to 60,000 but corporate revenue through the roof Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Based on nothing I think we will build a new one, if it was an expansion I think we would have already known. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted August 13, 2024 Share Posted August 13, 2024 Everything points to Castle Leazes IMO: available land, less planning issues and still in the city center. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
