Yet they still cant sell out home games and its a shite quiet ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we took the existing east stand down and then just built the highest, steepest structure possible... Would it add enough to make it worthwhile? It makes perfect sense for the gallowgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes perfect sense for the gallowgate the gallowgate is currently 9k. dortmand's yellow wall kop end is 25k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we took the existing east stand down and then just built the highest, steepest structure possible... Would it add enough to make it worthwhile? It makes perfect sense for the gallowgate I think that’s the next step: redevelop the gallowgate into a ludicrously massive kop end than move all the east standers into it as the east stand is demolished and replaced with a tall, narrow steep stand (given constraints of leazes terrace). Add more corporate hospitality here with a safe standing section below. Taking capacity eventually to somewhere around 65-70k and with a less lopsided-looking stadium and the extra match day revenue from the corporate hospitality to help us with fpp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 9342 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The building costs to demolish and rebuild the Gallowgate from scratch would be ludicrous. And what would you do with the fans who sit there while you spend 6-12 months rebuilding it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe priority to cup games or something. You could probably have some of it used/uncovered like the Milburn was for a bit. The alternative is you move. If it’s Castle Leazes - maybe. Anywhere out of the centre and it would lose a lot of what makes it so special imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the map it looks an ideal place for a new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 6003 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Why does the article say 'despite the defeat in the final' or 'plans remain unchanged after the defeat' as if the club's long term investment plans were based on a surprise run on a cup final?

Howmanheyman 43945 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Build behind to the north west of SJP, make SJP into an extension of leazes park and it's not losing too much land overall, plus make it a lot nicer, spruce it up, offer to pay to maintain the area of leazes park. Make Newcastle city council an offer they can't refuse. It'll be virtually in the same place as SJP, nobody will lose a seat in the building of it, it can be a super stadium, I honestly can't see past this unless there's some kind of concrete law stopping it similar to leazes terrace?

Alex 42155 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The other thing is I think they get even more protection than buildings / structures that are listed because of their relative rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 22508 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Someone said the club should buy the land that the BBC studios sits on. Knock that down and apparently there’s enough room for a spurs style mega stadium.. make Gallowgate/ Barrack Road into a tramway to get punters from the boozers to the ground & back double quick 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 9342 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 There's a few options if we are building from scratch. There's a big chunk of land around the arena when that gets knocked down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
