    Let's be honest here, if they are given permission to build there then questions will be asked and heads will roll.
    Or is that the other way round ????

    I hope it doesn't sound patronising, when I say , very well put.

    What we have is the 'downside of Sportswashing'.

    Were the owners to try to go ahead, agaist the wishes of a majority of the local population and pressure groups, imagine how this would look.
    BIG, Rich Saudi Arabia tries to beat up a small town in the North of England.

    If we go back to our problems when trying to settle on a new location, you may recall that one suggestion was a shared Super Stadium, with N/C next to the A19.
    Good theory, bad practice as would be the idea of sharing The Sol for a Season, while SJP was knocked down and re-built.
    Middlesborough could be an option, but a poor one, otherwise they're looking North .
    Would Glasgow or Edinburg wand to welcome them on a regular basis.?

    Much as they might WANT a City Centre Site, it sounds like a pipedream to me.
    An Engineers dream might be to close one sid/end a year and rebuild on site over a four year period.
    A very expensive option, but hey, they ARE the Richest Club In The World.

    Tottingham done it but didn’t have listed buildings to contend with. As far as I know.

    No listed buildings are spuds ground, which is a bit of a ****hole, to be fair.

    You, polyphemus and others raise a very interesting question that hasn't really occurred to me before ...

    ... but there's quite a moral and ethical conundrum for the brain dead of Newcastle to deal with.

    During the next round of violent disorder, around immigrants, etc, how will the Mag protesters square it if there's a rape/murder by a Newcastle based Islamic immigrant? Would they attack the Mosque, or hostel, housing this dangerous criminal or turn a blind eye in case it offended their lord and masters.

    Perhaps the Tyneside MPs, who support the club, would be able to enlighten us.

    Aye good question, mind I’m embarrassed at the racist and pro reform rhetoric connected to Sunderland, given our non English lads but I think that’s for another thread.

    That's part of the conundrum that sprang to mind.

    Why was there more rioting in Sunderland ...

    ... and was it due to the Newcastle supporters being conflicted?

    I'd guess they value trophies above their principles ... we've had plenty of evidence to support that theory tbh.
