.........Here's a thought. What if they flattened part of the the Eldon Square? bit that has the **** gym, the Pot smokers Green and that area? Win win. Bigger stadium and less places for the Mrs to spend the cash whilst at the match, whilst also not closing a single pub.......Jamie, Mehrdad, Amanda and Yasser - You're welcome.

Less spaces = less competition = higher prices = more cash spent in shorter time = Not advisable.

If we have safe standing does anyone know whether that would mean more fans being able to attend without structural alterations to the ground and, if so, how many more?

My understanding is its still the same or slightly less as seats need to be there still and safety rail installed.

I’d build a new first team site at the arena, but modernise and retain SJP for u23s, womens and football related events. Why get rid? No need.

I reckon they will get their own stadium at the new training complex would be my guess. Something the size of SJP would cost way too much in upkeep expenses would be my guess.

Saying **** you to all new kids and their families who might want to become ST holders in the future isn't the way forward. If we become successful and the ground is too small a solution must be found. I read somewhere about a plan to rotate the ground to gain space towards the Barrack rd area. But then we'd have play elsewhere for a season or two. Gateshead stadium maybe or Kingston Park. Or we just bite the bullet and move wholesale to another site. The Reubens have ****loads of land around Gosforth Park.

Gosforth Park would be horrendous for transport and lack of pre match pubs. Arena would be a perfect site.

I'm sure I read somewhere about a feasibility study that suggested rotating the ground but I can't remember which way and how many degrees. Anyone else remember?

Saw that report. Could be possible with imaginative planners and architects and of course loads of money. Would probably mean two or three seasons playing elsewhere though.
 
They don't need a new stadium.

They're expanding the ground to 60k and tarting it up
 
Also if we can't go up, why don't we go down. Lower the level of the pitch.!

Just an idea.
<laugh>
 
They'll just clad the entire thing and tart it up..they can do amazing things these days

Ah man I hope you’re joking. Some of the architecture in the town is amazing. I walk around in awe at times from the work of John Dobson etc. This is our city man, it’s beautiful. I have sleepless nights about the lack of stonemasons under the age of 55 worrying about these wonderful buildings <laugh> I’m not even joking, heritage is important. Modern buildings are so simplistic and ugly. I’m biased as someone who works in construction so I love architecture and I love buildings. The way we built in the past was amazing.

I’m torn because of my love for the club but the one thing I can’t advocate for is just delisting and demolishing them. That would be criminal in my eyes.

Agree with this 100%.

We have incredible buildings in the city centre. I'm not against adding modern buildings. In fact I think it's something our city needs to do more of. However, they should compliment what is already there. Getting rid of that heritage would be a crime against the generations that come after us.

I also agree on how boring most modern buildings are. I'd love to see some genuinely beautiful and innovative modern buildings added to the city and not just recreating every other modern city in the world.

Newcastle is a **** hole but it's not as bad as most English cities.

people are proud of where they exist for some strange reason, but I'm not going to pretend it's not exactly a desirable place.

Careful with words like 'innovative' and 'heritage' - some on here won't approve.
You're right of course. Newcastle's architecture and topography give the city its special personality and appeal. Newcastle United should compliment and not detract from that. The juxtaposition of St.James's with Leazes Terrace is typically characterful, but is limiting for the club.

So, you’re saying knock Leazes Terrace down then?
