Needs a new stadium for me. Building on Leazes Park would be the most romantic option, to keep it atop the hill. Besides which, that works far better for RB who would want to do something with the land that's left over, as well as be involved in the new project.

But down the quayside is just as good. It's tired and ugly on the inside now. The fact they've done practically nothing to it tells its own story, for me. Dog and pony show - they are well aware what needs to be done. I think it'll be quayside, because it's possibly the only option that stops the current ground getting in the way. Dead land, relatively cheap, great access, then you just call it something sponsor-y - I'd imagine it'll be the Aramco Arena. Time heals - were Arsenal always at the "Emirates"? City the "Etihad"? Spurs have done it differently, but Tottenham Hotspur Stadium sounds naff. Newcastle United Arena? Honestly dont give a toss, if it means we'll be watching players like Isak and Bruno for years to come.

What if we build it like a castle and call it New Castle Arena?
 
I think we’ll stay where we are but how the improvements are done, what the capacity will be and where we play if we need to temporarily move out I’ve got no idea. Probably depends on just how much the owners want to throw at the project.

Perhaps it will have to wait until 25/26 due to spending restrictions for one more season until they are changed.
 
Sure they've said was going to be after Euro 28. Suppose if option C was used they could start before then, once the battle v the tree huggers has been won.

Hasn’t the Quayside land been sold for residential development to some third party?

Looking at it rationally I think if we can get the Freemen onside, and there is a suggestion that that is possible, then it has to be Option C.

Can’t see the Saudi’s wanting to build a mongrel ground with three large sides and one small’ish side as opposed to a ‘statement’ ground. Also, we can’t possibly have PB in the front row with Hamish six feet under.

Very much this
 
The youtubers have all been theorising a bit too much on this. They look at a couple of suggested ideas and sights and draw a conclusion. The reality is nobody knows anything significant.

I watched an interview with some wifey that was very clear that things have softened regarding leazes Park because of funding issues. They would be keen under certain agreements to build a new park and renovate things they haven't been able to.. coin basically.

Yeah I've seen it, she's the chair of Friends of Leazes Park, a city councillor, and lives on Leazes Terrace. She's now on the new Fan advisory board too. Yet the club want us to believe people were randomly selected for the fan board :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:
