TheBrownBottle Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 If the club was planning to expand the East Stand, why would it sit back and allow that land to be sold for £180k? They could have bought it themselves for the equivalent of a rounding error on PIF’s accounts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if we did need it, the council would likely comply with supporting a CPO, meaning we would likely get that land for much less than this chancer wants.

It seems unlikely to me that a private business would get a CPO, no matter what the emotive appeal of the business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would if it complies with a greater council plan. Spurs did exactly this to gain land for their new stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we moved, and SJP was turned into an extension of Leazes Park, I could see a CPO being given. To expand the East Stand? I can’t see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I'm getting this gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach that after all this palava, what with talk of Beamish and fake suns bolted onto the back of a new east stand that they are going to come out and say that after careful consideration, we have decided against expansion or a new stadium. Would be classic us, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be classic us, like. Whilst being a Newcastle supporter programmes us all this way, I don’t see how the club could sell that option against a backdrop of growing the club and increasing revenue streams, quite simply doing nothing is not an option unless they’re looking to the flip the club which is highly unlikely in my opinion.

midds Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Been of the same opinion for a long time now about the ground an I've always very much been in the 'let's stay and make SJP as good and as big as it can be'. I'm hugely attached to that grass rectangle of land that has seen nearly 130 years of football and history and tradition, you literally can't buy that as it's completely priceless. How many sporting teams can say they've got 130+ years of memories all played out on the same bit of turf? I love the bones of the place and expanding to 80,000 on the current site would be dreamworld but that's simply not feasible Due to the current state of football finances I think we 100% need that new stadium, just up the road, in order to just have the chance to compete. If we want the team to be as big and as good as it can be then I can't see that happening without a new stadium. And if we're doing it let's make it a fuck off, massive 80,000+ stadium that's going to ensure the next generation of fans can get a ticket too. It'll hurt but I think it needs to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the fact there's a camera up on one of the houses, those 2 must have some sort of business relationship. Could be a tidy profit in it for both of them.

It is very unlikely that the land was advertised. It’s essentially 2 individuals who each have a holding company/business trying their best to cash in. It would have been a deal made at the golf course, not the estate agents. They have seen how the people who owned the Strawberry land have managed to sell up to the club, and will be wanting to do similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Bit from Edwards on new stadium towards end of podcast, thinks feasibility study has been done for a while, preferred option is expanding St James, but states other option is Castle Leazes/Leazes Park, basically thinks their procrastinating on it and just need to get on with it, as if new stadium objections will take years to resolve if that’s what they go with. Interestingly while talking about expanding St James he mentions the Leazes and Milburn also, which would suggest some kind of wrap like the Bernabau.
