Unfortunately I cannot see anything but a big home win tomorrow. Hopefully Burnley clatter a few of them.
The fact we can go to 64,000 relatively easily and at a fraction of any cost whether they extend the Hotch or build a new stadium is killing them. we need to extend and get the kids in whilst they fanny about.
And so it should be Leazes Park is a fantastic amenity slap bang in the town centre and was there long before the football club.
If it ever came down to ‘Friends of Leazes Park’ v the Mags they’d get a big shock. They think everyone is totally enamoured with the football club and they’re not.
There’s a very high up MLF at Newcastle Council who has very high morals and I have known for 50 years since we were 4. Let’s just say he’s in the right department to make sure the right thing happens.
watched the vid earlier and why does the bloke need to keep emphasising 'world class' before the world 'stadium' is mentioned? surely any modern stadium will be world class or it would not be worth building, after that it depends what is going to be spent...also, why does the imagined capacity keep growing 5k every time he mentions the proposed stadium. as for the bio-diversity, there is not a chance in hell that anyone (no matter where they live) can honestly and accurately replace a 150 year old established ecological system plus 10% extra in a matter of a few years...such things require time and never like being disturbed.
Many years ago one of the local papers did an article about where our Fans, those who regularly attended Games, came from. I can not remember the details but I was surprised at the conclusion which claimed that a high fraction came from outside of The Town. Mostly from County Durham, some from Northumberland. I would not be surprised if the situation at N/C mirrors this. And those from .out of town will have little influence if it comes to a Municipal battle.
There There may be some truth in that but this would be far removed from a municipal planning dispute, it would need govermental involvement/approval. And, don't forget, you dont have to be a Toon Mag to be a 'Friend of Leazes Park'. "We are a membership organisation for anyone with a passion for our park. We are a registered charity and dedicated to the conservation and protection of Leazes Park for the benefit of the public and future generations and to advance public education about the Park." https://www.friendsofleazespark.uk/ Because they're totally corrupt they believe everyone who needs to be bought off is corrupt, not so.
