Option C makes sense to me

Not a Newcastle fan, but I happen to like option C. But it should still be called St James Park though.

Newcastle is one word!

It'd be sad to see an old stadium go but it has to be C surely?

I like expansion option C. They could play with a full stadium capacity as it currently is as they build 3 sides of the new stadium then have those 3 stands full as they build the fourths side to complete the new stadium.

Tremendous work, once again Bondibot. Where would we be without you?! You are the unofficial industry standard.

This is a brilliant video. However unfortunately all three options are extremely difficult to almost impossible depending on various circumstances. Option A: Extending the Gallowgate is tricky as it'd extend over a road which is currently used by Emergency Services to and from the RVI hospital and there is a Metro line/station underneath. It's probably the most feasible option (ovbiously extremely complex and expensive) although wouldn't be possible for at least three years due to the STACK Fanzone due to open on Strawberry Place in June. Option B: Moving the pitch and extending the East Stand is the most unlikely scenario and difficult with regards to the stadium. There are Grade II listed Georgian buildings (Leazes Terraces) of which extending the East Stand would obstruct their right to light and various other problems and the buildings themselves cannot be bought and demolished either. There have been suggestions to keep the Farcade but move the buildings a little but that would be uneconomical. Option C: Rebuilding on Leazes Park is also very difficult. Leazes Park is protected land so that immediately complicates things. Our former chairman Freddie Shepherd had a similar proposal in the 90s to rebuild the stadium in Leazes Park but came under fierce resistance from conservation groups and others. This in theory wouldn't be as big of an obstacle to overcome today as funding for it's upkeep has been severely reduced so there's a potential they'd accept a trade off of some land for a large investment and the chairwoman of 'Friends of Leazes Park' is a NUFC ST holder and on the fan advisory board. However this would still be a significant hurdle to overcome. Another issue is that there are many fans who are completely opposed to a new stadium as they have a fond connection to SJP and many see modern stadiums as soulless bowls stripping away a clubs history so it'd require significant persuasion of the fanbase. Nobody connected with Newcastle will have any idea of which direction the club will go with until a Stadium Feasibility study is completed with initial reports due to be received this month based on previous information.

Option B increases the height of the stadium in close proximity to neighbouring houses, almost certainly unacceptably so. Those houses are also Listed Buildings (protected historic assets) so even if the club bought them all, they would not be permitted to knock them down, as other clubs have done to get around similar problems. I believe the club has bought land outside the stand behind the goal, making option A more likely.

This is a fantastic video bondibot ! My favourite is option C closely followed by option B, what an absolutely brilliant idea in option B to elevate the pitch ! It’s pure genius ! Brilliant video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The work that must have gone into this! Thanks man brilliant stuff.

100% option C! Please let it happen!

very interesting! and awesome work with 3d as always!

I’m an evertonian but this looks absolutely stunning

Option C is the best solution

Always liked option B, very clever idea, but C is the most optimal if they can come up with a unique design

Option C for me too, fantastic that current ground used until new stadium 3/4 complete before moving over. Makes complete sense and keeps the green space warriors happy too as well as the listed building campaigners. Great work!

Option C is perfect we need a full rebuild a stadium that will last for decades to come

Just blown away by this video, well done!

Thanks, been waiting for someone to make this

Excellent work Bondibot

definitely option 3 REBUILD

個人的には最後のプランがベストと感じます。やはり改修では早いうちに建物限界が来てしまうからです。

This might be your best work. Even surpassing the Old Trafford work. And I think you’ve done your homework, as per discussions on the Tyneside Life video Option B would be incredible. I’m not sure if possible re Right To light at Leazes Terrace but I read an article about moving the pitch so seeing this visualised was sensational As for option C, Again, v plausible. I’m just not certain about how much space to play with at Leazes Park. I’ll read the comments from the Toon Army who’ll know more. In the meantime I’m watching this on the biggest screen I can find

Spent many years in the old Richardson Road student flats and fished in the lake. Would love to see the Option C come to pass. The old listed Uni accommodation to the east of the current stadium is problematic to any expansion on that side. A revitalised southern Leazes Park would be a real benefit to the area.

Love B and C. Think C may have fewer planning issues as Leazes Terrace is untouched. Video is stunning. As a ST holder in my 80s just hope I live long enough to see it. HTL!

I'm a Sunderland fan who can only respect Newcastle. St James' is one of sport's most raucous cathedrals. That said, the Toon deserve a brand new palace that will sell out every game. Genuinely looking forward to what they choose

option C is the best new stadium lock good and they cold have more space for new upgrade in future

C all day long get it built man!

Option C makes sense when money is no object and you can then maximise real estate value of existing stadium.

Option C - but the freemen will never allow it. Great video!

I think all options are viable: A. buildings can be built on top of underground stations B. the right materials could allow light into Leazes Terrace C. Leazes Park could be used if the land under St James is made into a park Option C just looks immense!

Option C is the best

Had to add my comment here also ( From X ): Forget which is the best option.. What a fantastic presentation.. Whomever did this.. Well done.. Absolutely brilliant! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 A wonderful viewing experience.. HWTL! Thank you. Sincerely! 😍👍😍👍

If only someone would set fire to leazes terrace, it would solve all our problems Always envisioned Option A, and that was planned as the next phase circa 2008-10 if the Hall's had stayed on and would have been the Casino/Hotel, still feasible but would need Metro station strengthed, plus point is you have nearly 15 levels from metro Station to top of stand that could be used so retail option would be immense Would be happy with Option C, Saudis love a futuristic stadium, we have Darren Eales who built arguably one of the best stadiums in the world and also owned by Reubens who are on the biggest builders in the country, new top end, world class stadium is enivitible IMO

Option C is no brainer right? The whole area looks so clean and open compared to the current location.

Option C without a shadow of a doubt, it makes sense and would look so much better, the other options look to cramped and don't look right in the surroundings.

I have to congratulate you on the quality of the modelling work here, just superb. Option A seems realistic, but I don't know how authorities feel about roads going under terraces. It would have to be robustly closable on match days for obvious security reasons. Option B is very innovative, but I dont' think it solves the problem because Leazes Terrace has a right to light, and the stadium would still take that away. Option C looks absolutely spectacular, but it would massively change the nature of Leazes Park, and I don't know how willing residents and the local authority would be to allow it. Whatever they do, they should hire you for their PR on the project!

Option B seems an interesting option you would lose some rows of seats but give that space to build both stands but think you will have the issues of the height of the stands for the housing behind and not letting in enough light. Option C if your allowed to build on that space seems to be a great idea basically doing what Spurs have done.

Imagine the atmosphere of option C with the roof closed, homes games would be a breeze, 80,000+ fans echoing your name

Option C, NUFC need the best to be the best

One that we've all been waiting for ! Thanks Bondibot

Option C.. and put a great big flag pole flying the crest right on the old centre circle

Option C seems the best option however I don’t think the stadium should be renamed St James Park is Newcastle United’s home

Option C but keeping the St.James' Park name is a must.

Beautiful piece of work, thank you. Do we have any idea of the capacity in each option?

Option A they have the issue with the metro. Option B issue with the light restriction on Leazes Terrace. Option C problem with that park being protected ( Grandstand Area ) . Im sure they will figure somthing out 🤞

Option c looks beautiful with the scenery of lake around it

Option C.... start from scratch and it removes all the current restrictions of Metro station, road for the RVI, listed buildings, lack of space on concourses. Probably more cost effective and I'm sure the council would be on-board with some additional investment in the surrounding areas such as Leazes Park 🖤🤍

Bro I love your videos and animations, can you tell which software you are using to make these ?, because I'm an architect and I need to present videos like these for my clients.

Id love the full wrap around would be spectacular

Option C would keep everyone happy.. The fans as it retains its stadium on the hill, the council would gain massive compensation, the residents of Leazes Terrace would have no objections of light being lost... And we'd gain revenue from match day parking and non match Sat parking too... The only thing I'd change is retaining St James Park name.... Otherwise perfect solution for the massive growth we're going to see... We could double ticket sales at the moment and still have a waiting list.... And can you imagine the sound that will come from an expanded 75,000 seat stadium when we're smashing visiting teams????!!!!!

Excellent video mate…!

Amazing video plan C looks phenomenal 😮⚫⚪⚫⚪

Great work 👌

Plan C for me. Obviously St James holds much history and sentimental value, eventually it will become out dated. Though Plan C would require building on some greenbelt land, the space created from the move could become a green area to compensate and I'm sure the local residents would be happy with that. Plus it doesn't involve much of a move so would still be a city centre stadium. If we have owners who are eager to invest, improve and dream of success then I fully support it. We might not get this opportunity again. I just hope they keep a bit of the essence of St James park in the new stadium if this is the way we go.

option b and c is good..depending on the cost either one can be selected .great job bondibot

Fair enough you’ve seen stadiums in the past that sort of needed rebuilding but history has proven it’s been the downfall or step back of many clubs in football. There is so much history in ST James park and it’s such a lovely stadium it doesn’t need knocking down. It’s the Geordie cathedral dead set in the city centre.

I understand the reluctance of some of our fans to move our ground even a short distance due to tradition and familiarity but we will make new history and memories in a new home and we really do need a bigger ground to allow the many people who want to come to games given that chance. Option C seems a reasonable idea to get a brand new facility and keep the ground in the same locality.

Option C. The stadium looks really nice.

Love option C but i think will be tough to get conservationist to not oppose it, no matter what you agree to compromise with. Option A is a great short to medium term option and can definitely see it happening. Option B would NEVER happen for the same reason we havent been able to do it for years now (because of blocking the light to the listed buildings). GREAT VIDEO and amazing work put into this, great job !

Leazes park is safeguarded from building so unless every member of the safeguarding board agrees to it which is highly unlikely I doubt we’ll be building there, the more possible outcome is they may allow the stadium to encroach by 20 metres moving it away from the graded buildings behind the east stand allowing for further development on that side

Option C looks phenomenal 👍

Can we get a video on lower league stadiums like Wrexham’s racecourse or Pompey’s Fratton Park since they are so small it would be magnificent to see what they could blossom into

Option C is a must in my opinion.

Option C is no BRAINER damn it looks good

If NUFC want to be world leaders in Football. Then option C is a no brainer. Pocket change for the owners and investors. Not a Newcastle utd fan, but think there supporters are different class, and deserve the best of success with a new Super Stadium. Not sure on the architecture though. 👍

maybe option A but built the way option B is by not extending beyond the road

what a genius!

Option c is amazing

Option C, I can't like these projects that build buildings over the road. A video recommendation, could you do a before and after of the Brazilian league? Currently Vasco, Santos, Red Bull Bragantino have renovation projects underway, Goiás, Red Bull Bragantino, Criciúma and São Paulo have advanced projects.

Option C, new stadium 👌🏼

Can you do this video with Genoa's Stadium? Thank you

*C - "80, 000 ➕️ " Seater/Safe Standing/corporate- v.i.p- super stadium, we could fill st- James's 3 X over. Extending is not big enough for the demand. If we want to be the best, we have to aspire to be the best, hence, again, *c*.... We have to move, no pun intended, with the Xs. Plus, the rev will be very much welcomed, with ffp, era, protecting the breakaway 6.....

Option C for sure - exactly how White Hart Lane was built

Option B has quite a cool San Siro feel to it but it's got to be option C. If you're going to do it then go for it.

Option C stands out as the top choice because it proposes reviving the Leazes Park locale through investment in its surroundings. However, when considering the construction of a new stadium, it's essential that it breaks away from conventionality. Instead, it should be a beacon of inspiration, drawing from Newcastle's heritage and origins. Whether it takes on an organic form reminiscent of the city's maritime history or a robust design paying homage to its coal mining legacy, the stadium must deeply connect with Newcastle's culture and sense of belonging.

It has to be C I love the lake and surroundings and gives the enlisted buildings a more fitting area in keeping with the park. FABULOUS 🤍🖤

I agree with others on option c. It removes the burden of the terrace and looks like it could be a better setting. Definately need to keep St james park name though

Option C is similar to what Spurs ended up doing, where would Newcastle end up playing for atleast a season doubt Sunderland would let them play home matches. Option B would be good, they need to get move on as the stadium is a host for the Euros and I'm sure they'd want more matches at an expanded ground

Opção C é sensacional.

Option C looks really good. What would be the capacity of this new stadium?

Option C please !!!!

Option A - Feasable Option B - Illegaly narrow pitch not happening. Option C - Unique Grade 1 listed structure in the way, not happening. Option D you didnt try, turn the pitch 90 degrees, build 2 colossal grandstands on the north and south sides and get what you can out of the end stands, north and south is where we have the real estate so we need to amximise the seats pointing from those directions.

Wow. This is actually quite emotional stuff . Option C for me but all 3 look great. HWTL

nice.. but I think the owners would go for a new stadium elsewhere if they can.. too much will be spent on the same stadium otherwise which will not add to the asset on the balance sheet, but rather they have to amortize the cost of the development instead.. building a new one as the one in option C would seem plausible from the financial point of view, but could present a problem with the local council me think.. building on an entirely new site would allow NUFC to book in a new building as an asset.. and then dispose of the current one to negate the cost..

Option C all day for me like !!

Not a Newcastle fan, but Option C looks Awesome 👌

Option d build a brand new stadium would be great as it's still in a city located

Simple. Whichever option (assuming all are actually feasible and approved) gives us the biggest crowd is the option I'd go for. I would live with Leazes Park Stadium if I had to (can't believe I'm saying this) but - let's be real here, everyone - it is more likely to be the sponsored Saudi Airlines Stadium. Whatever brings in the crowd and the dollars is good for me. A 65,000+ crowd watching Newcastle win 16-17 home games a season and bringing in a mint to keep building the team, I could cope with that. I still haven't seen a trophy and I'm currently 62. I wouldn't mind seeing some silverware one day too.

Imagine Newcastle having a fortress like the last one as there is a transition.

Id say option B. Its a relatively cheap option, genius and also keeps the history of St James park. However option C looks cool as hell by the park and lake and would create 5 star facilities for the club

Option B is a non starter. The new East stand would cause right to light issues with Leazes terrace behind. Plus I’m not convinced that you could gain enough room for such a massive stand by moving the pitch a few metres. KZfaqr Tyneside Life seems to think Option C is the likely option but the pitch wouldn’t be moved quite as much as this video suggests. The East stand would still need to be smaller than the others albeit not as small as it is now and it could blend better with the rest of the stadium.

Nice idea but Option a depends on light restrictions AND development of st James metro This is the mostly likely option due to the listed buildings you see in all the ground photos nothing can be built higher than what we already are Option b impossible due to the same buildings and light restrictions but more so as you can see from your render Option c Again impossible as that is green belt land and protected by the people who live in that area

option B. do what liverpool did. tbh i didnt even know they were expanding. option C would mean they have to relocate for 2 seasons to finish of the stadiums and there are no close stadiums in the area for newcastle to play in

Option B is the best 😊

Looking at all the comments, Option C seems to be the favourite. I have to admit, though I love all options, C would be the way to go, and could be even more than shown in this concept, as it takes very much the idea of the current. A new stadium could look even better than the Etihad and other futuristic stadiums! Just the Grade 1 listed is the only sticking point. Old stadium land could be used for massive commercial development and bring addititional revenue to the city and the club. Got to love the renders and ideas in this video.

Are these the official proposals or mockup suggestions?

Option A

Option C, 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Com toda certeza o plano b seria o mais top eu gostei mais do plano b talvez teria mais custos mais também com ampliação do estadio teria mais renda
