The leazes park stadium idea as shown in the bondibot video is the ideal solution imho

I thought that was a brilliant video. Really informative. Is spending nearly half a billion to create 8-10,000 seats really viable? I don’t think so; especially when most of them would be set aside for corporate. Pity we can’t just build it in Leazers Park and reconstitute SJP into a park area to mitigate the loss of green space. It might even be better as the new green area would be closer to the city.

Nice to hear from someone that actually knows what they're talking about rather than fans who have zero experience of construction and engineering.

Video clearly sums up that it wouldn’t be worth expanding the current stadium for the amount of seats you’d gain. It’s got to be a new stadium, ideally in Leazes park.

Option C from Bondibot video... Expand into leazes Park and replace the victorian steps where St James current stands, making a park outside Leazes terrace. Who could argue with that!

Unfortunately, most fans don't understand the distinction between maximising CAPACITY and maximising REVENUE from the stadium. The club don't care about creating extra space for thousands more ordinary fans who'll pay £40 per head per game. They'd much rather create facilities to attract people and corporate clients who'll spend £250 plus per head per game. They don't need to expand the footprint of the stadium as much as ordinary fans imagine to achieve their goals. What they WILL do is reconfigure what is already there as much as they can to make it more suitable for big spending clients. Sad but true...

The ball is thankfully in their court! My vote is (would be) for a new stadium, in Leazes Park area.

Absolutely pointless expanding the stadium if it’s only 10k extra. Makes no sense at all.

Excellent new information 👍

Let's have a brand new 80,000 all seater stadium.

Just build it on Leazes park then turn current St James' into an actual park, job done!

Traffic management and flow.. off site parking and shuttle from a park and ride for events. Limited restricted route under Stadia Stands tunnel, Metro station change can help. The Listed East Stand areas a bother. We've directed traffic pedestrian safety for a stadia domed and 62.5 cap What St James has is very congested at max flow on foot traffic. A wide Check point Skyway above ground connecting to ticket entry off a stadia is a good thing to investigate.

Good listening to this😊😊

The Gallowgate wouldn't be too much of a problem bridging across the road like we have at Eldon Square on Blackett Street. We could take the building right back incorporating a hotel or conference centre plus fan zone into the structure. The East Stand could be knocked down and built to a better spec than it currently is being made slightly bigger than it is now. If you look at Real Betis's stadium they have a stand that is very thin and steep which doesn't take up a lot of room although ours would have to be mostly glass for light issues. I cannot understand some of the moaning comments as usual as we have had to do these things in the past with the rebuilding of the West Stand in the 80's etc Surely you can put up with some short term pain for longer term gain?

PiF buy the Arena and the land around it. Build a brand new state of the art stadium next to the Tyne. Keeps the stadium central with great access links. Put gigs on at St James Park in the meantime, then Build a new Arena on St James Park once the new stadium is built. Job done, everyone's happy and NUFC win a trophy...!

the east stand will always be the issue - the Leazes Park option with a replacement green area where the stadium exists at present is the perfect solution. got to keep the dog walkers happy.....

Mick needs a tshirt, How to become number 1, Do something about it. There are no restrictions what you write on a t-shirt, but there are restriction how you run a football club.

The logistics are horrendous, moving metro stations, really, like been said all for 10,000 extra seats, I cannot see it, if it happens so be it, but it's a logistical nightmare both the Gallowgate end expansion and the east stand expansion.

Great KZfaq video guys - be good to do something similar on Leazes Park area as I think that’s a lot of people perfect choice for new stadium ( directly behind current Leazes. Stand ) do a deep dive into conservation / public spaces / grade 2 listed structuresetc … what could be. done to make a new studium happen - I think this is part of the feasability study and club have been on this for past two years ?

The Strawberry stack right beats going from the Washington Square Holiday inn hotel for visiting clubs from Europe. Placing a PIF Sponsors St James Hotel via again a skyway Corporate level access partnership?

Leazers terrace will become hospitality seating

Prediction - PIF will spend bare minimum and tart up what weve already got .

We know corporate seats disgusts people but in terms of match day revenue they give highest margin per pax as they are usually part of CRM with sponsors, if you want your ticket price to not go higher than what it already is then corporates gotta stay.

I can just imagine how the grumpy old sods who sit in the East Stand (of whom I am very much one myself) would react to being moved to the top tier of a new expanded Gallowgate for a year or two while the ES is rebuilt 😀 But I am still in the "stay at SJP at all costs" club, so needs must...

Seems a lot of work and disturbance for 10,000 seats max. Then we have a stadium that can never be extended further. I think we have to be brave and do what Tottenham did; twist and build around the current stadium. Yes, it would extend into the park, which is problematic. However, we can offer up some of the current plot as an entrance to the park, running right into the town centre. PIF could also extend the park in other directions and build other parks and green spaces around the city. They have deep enough pockets to keep the council/aldermen of the park happy.

What will happen is the PIF with rehouse ALL occupants of Leazers terrace, then keep the buildings but gut them incorporated into the stadium....same as Craven cottage, natural light issue gone

Why don't pif build a new state of the art hospital? With private ambulance road...money well invested

There was no official statement from the club that we were going to upgrade st James park it was all paper talk and if the club have said it post the links here

Nexus don’t “own” that land. Their contract with council might not be renewed anyway.

Leazes park will never be touched, end of. No where else to build in newcastle really, unless go over towards the airport area

New ground is answer, but some where in city

Miguel Almiron is signing a contract extension until he's 37

Leazers park belongs to the NEWCASTLE PUBLIC...its been 20+ years since John hall wanted to do, give the NEWCASTLE PUBLIC a vote...Times have changed, this would benefit NEWCASTLE CITY

Basically changing the logistics of a city to add 10k seats does not seam viable. I think we should stay at st James as it is and begin building a new stadium and in 3 years when we’re an established football club we move to the new stadium

So basically after watching 31 mins of this I’ve come to the conclusion that absolutely no one knows what’s happening with the stadium. It’s like ground hog day. Why don’t the owners just come out and tell us the possible outcomes

Who is that bloke ? Should of said who he was at the start of the video

All that chaos for 8000 fans. The stadium will be totally lopsided. New 70000 stadium is the answer. All this bollix for a few thousand more. I want a new start. The ground has only seen domestic failure for 70 years and a title for nearly 100.

On railway or metro would be easy on engineering point view it already been down in Hudson Yards New York the put support beams in first built skyscraper on top of railway the foundations was put in first without Disruption railway or subway the engineering side will be no problem for PIF dare to dream totally knock down East Stand built new stand tuck pitch to Millburn stand the help more space bigger 3 tier stand with glass front for right to light look Everton new stadium the engineering side is space saving beam neat not like the East Stand back of wasting space

ive seen the plans its a 82.000 seater your wrong about the gallowgate end

So close the Gallowgate and many thousands of Toon fans locked oot for what 2 years to demolish and reconstruct the Gallowgate stand and everyone is happy eh? Oh and divvent forget for an extra how many seats for fans? Corporate$$ get a massive chunk and the club grabs a load to give to members, tourists £ and what about the road being a major ambulance route for the RVI? And the effect on the Toon performance while this is ongoing….😮

Newcastle fans who think we should leave the Toon are completely wrong. We need to stay in the current location. IT’s special and unique..taking the Toon out of the Toon would be criminal.

Never happen

Sixty thousand not big enough
