I think the Freeman, council and other political groups will bend over backwards to keep it in the city centre
The prospect of taking it 3,4, 5 or so miles away will hurt the council and businesses within the city centre big style

They’re not going to buy your land from you. Just accept it.

Fair enough. Any idea on timescales for when this news will be public? Is it actually big news, or middling?

Nothing concrete, club still awaiting feasibility study which is due in the next few weeks before progressing things further. As for time scales if it's upgrade at SJP then nothing will start before EURO 2028.

If it was something along the lines of what that youtube video was showing (which for the record needs taken with an industrial warehouse amount of salt) then I suppose something could start beforehand but by the time the tree huggers are sorted and then the ecology studies get done (assuming permission from council was granted).

FWIW that video had flaws galore in it. Strawberry Place is a massive concern - that road is the main artery road for the hospital for the entire west end of the city. I get people say build a tunnel but they clearly forget there's a metro station already under there.

The Fan Zone has an initial 3 year permit so nowt happening on that during that time period.

Leazes Terrace can't be knocked down, can't be rebuilt and can't be moved and has a "rite to light" so other than getting very arty with the East Stand those videos showing it being built up to the size of the Milburn have to be wrong.

The Option C version looked to be the best option of the bunch but would require permissions galore. Also the final stages of the video showed them making out we could play at SJP for a couple of years whilst they built 3/4 of the new ground then showed them demolishing SJP before completing the last stand at the new ground - Must be hellishly quick to build that entire stand in 3 months of pre season.
