The video discusses how we can preserve them 👍🏻

Nice ideas but unlikely to happen due to its protection status. That doesn’t merely mean protection from demolition, but protection from external encroachment and interference

Thank you 🙏

Thank you but I never suggested building kvetch the top. That may cause done complications, but a glass roof canopy over the road may work 👍🏻

Thank you Geoff 🙏

There just isn’t the footprint available Jack to realistically expand it past approximately 65k, without a complete rebuild and that won’t happen as there’s nowhere to play for two years

@TynesideLife yeah true. I've always been all for a new stadium being built just outside the city centre and keeping St James for youth and women's games and other events. But I know alot of us don't wanna move from SJP which I would rather not do but I also want to see the club go further and we deserve a stadium to fit us all in. And I wouldn't put it past the owners to build one of the world's biggest stadium up here. I think if we can't expand past 60ish thousand we should just build a new stadium

Appreciated bud 🤛🏻

Decent owners? You're joking right? Murderous, oppressive owners is more appropriate.

Thanks for the balanced message Mark. The club are definitely prioritising the Sela City Fanzone on Strawberry Place and are now doing the feasibility study for the East Stand. It strikes me that any Gallowgate expansion idea may just in the fans imaginations and snot an actual club priority

Thank you Charlie 🙏

Thank you Brian 🤛🏻

There’s a balance to be had as they’ll likely need to maintain their stand alone status due to their historical significance. I’m not convinced turning into part of a football stadium achieves that (if I’ve understood you correctly?)

🙏

🤛🏻

Shame on you Jim! 😂 Much appreciated as always 🙏

👍🏻

Thank you bud 🙏 I think what I’m failing to get across sufficiently well is that these Grade I listed buildings are to be protected, not just from demolition, but from any physical encroachment that takes away their aesthetic significance. A football stand covering a building of significant historical importance is no longer a building of significant historical importance, in fact it’s not even as important as a football stadium. I’m a passionate Newcastle fan but I have to stress that any notion of building over the building just isn’t going to happen. Never.

@@TynesideLife I don't disagree with the grade 1 listing, but this can be overcome and potentially incorporated or resolved. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(Lake_Havasu_City)

@@clowbeck1202 sorry I don’t know your name and I’m not professing to be an expert but I do study history. I’m aware of this but you’re completely misunderstanding a lot of the legalities and circumstances around these structures and their protection statuses. This bridge was allowed to be sold, as its old 1830’s structure was no longer fit for purpose by the 1960’s due to the increase in vehicle volume. It was being replaced anyway. Leazes Tce is completely different and the chances of it being either demolished, or built over as part of a football stand are so remote and implausible (within the unique context and circumstances of its being), It’s just not worthy of a valid conversation in any adult sense. If there are other channels, or social media platforms out there claiming that this is a viable and plausible outcome, then you are being grossly misled by individuals who know no better. I know that sounds a bit blunt, but I really have to try and dampen these wildly remote speculations.

@@TynesideLife Time will tell no doubt, it's all conjecture at this point. Regardless of what happens, the outcome of any investment by the club will have a positive impact on the area overall.

@@clowbeck1202 Even if Leazes Tce wasn’t a listed building, you can see from an aerial shot it’s positioning in relation to the East side of the stadium. The East stand only covers half of Leazes Tce. Forget the idea mate 👍🏻 I completely agree that the PIF will make investments that will provide benefits, not only to the club but to the city too. This will boost the local economy, provide opportunities for further investment, boost tourism and job opportunities. And do all of this whilst maintaining the historical integrity of the area and even make it more appealing. This is an incredibly exciting time!

👍🏻

Haha! The chronicle are copying me now 😃

👍🏻🤛🏻

🤛🏻👍🏻

These were the sorts of ideas I had before Sela were announced. Think much bigger! If you haven’t seen my video on the Strawberry Place Fanzone you should watch it as I’ve been informed by someone privy to the details that I’m spot on 👍🏻

Those were Grade II listed and as I’ve explained, if a wider economic benefit can be evidenced, decisions can be made to demolish. Leazes Tce is Grade I and I’m reasonably convinced that there wouldn’t be a strong enough case to demolish those. I believe the owners will see Leazes Tce as a big commercial opportunity 👍🏻

@@TynesideLife I wasn't arguing with you. I was just pointing out that local authorities will justify any decision, if it suits them at the time. The term 'wider economic benefit' is purely subjective and potentially open to misuse.

Incorporating it into a stand would be in conflict with its unique heritage status bud. Sorry

😂 I think we’ll see these sorts of plans come to fruition over the next 3/4 years 👍🏻🤛🏻

🙏

🤛🏻

I always look forward to your balance and insight Graham thank you 🙏

@TynesideLife Hi Eddy 👋 thanks for the reply. A sympathetic transformation where all concerned parties work together for a tangible and true long-term benefits to both our city and NUFC will realise economic prosperity.

It’s difficult to imagine what the East Stand will look like but I think it’ll be by far the best looking, even though it will be the smallest. Tonali will cost £8.5m per year on wages. FfP is a moving target and depends on a number of factors. I do know that we haven’t got as much to spend right now as many believe

Check out the video before this one bud 👍🏻

How about a direct access from the hotel into the stadium at a higher level.

@@kevin4havis I suppose anything is possible 👍🏻

Far from it mate. What are your views on the points raised and ideas expressed in the video?

@@TynesideLife I think it's great - much more depth/insight than journos at the chronic!

@@RThompson-hw9nm 🙏

🤛🏻🙏

People's livelyhood and childhood is round this area. It's not fair to just buy it off or anything.

That is why I said although it would be the ideal option but maybe realistically not possible but hey money talks just look at the players that are going to the Saudi League they didn’t have to go but 💷💷💷💷 you know what I mean

Well, you didn’t pass trigonometry at school mate 😅 figure it out…

😂

You’ve cherry picked what you wanted to hear in the video Mathew, have misunderstood the process and the most important points as to why your ideas will likely hit significant obstacles. The Old Eldon Square buildings were Grade II listed, not Grade I

@@TynesideLife Good job I'm not part of the planning and feasibility study group then Eddie. Wasn't cherry picking though, even grade 1 listed buildings can be demolished with the correct consent. I didn't say it would be easy, but it's also not impossible.

@@matthewsmith7244 Grade I listed can be demolished in extreme circumstances, I list a few reasons in the video. However, making way for a football stadium is unlikely to cut the mustard. Great hearing your views Mathew 👍🏻

@@TynesideLife No worries mate, just spit-balling ideas. Given it would be a partial demolition, and would result in vastly increased revenue for the area, you never know (although probs just wishful thinking on my part). 👍🏻

@@matthewsmith7244 aye, nothings impossible but not a likely conversation going forward. Setting aside the protections of the building, my video thumbnail illustrates how the street would look and it’s far more likely the Saudis will see Leazes Tce as an opportunity rather than an obstacle 👍🏻

Hi mate, I had them specially done for me by a graphics designer. You can only see them on my channel. I’ve got another couple on the way 👍🏻

@@TynesideLife need to use them in the video then so ya can see the full grand spectacle of them…. Unless I’m doing by something wrong.. I can’t zoom in on the video image only… Anyhow… amazing video as always!

@@MagicMags thank you. I will in my next videos 👍🏻

Aye mate let's remove the people who live there with children and own the property for a hotel.

@@rossblack9559 that’s not what’s said Ross?

@@rossblack9559 get a grip you wolly!

@@TynesideLife Not you lol

👍🏻

I do believe they’ll buy the building but it definitely won’t be incorporated into the stand bud. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@@TynesideLife watch this space mate, I seen drawing somewhere online that would incorporate the listed buildings, remember you said not long ago it was virtually impossible to build there, now your saying it is possible to build in this area, I've seen grade 1 listed buildings all over the UK being refurbished into new stunning buildings so I wouldn't throw my opinion in the bin just yet bud 👍🏼

@@thumpertoon76 erm… first of all, a new stand will definitely not be incorporating Leazes Tce, for several significant reasons. I’m sorry but these drawings have been done through a lack of knowledge and understanding of very complex matters. Secondly, you’ve misrepresented what I’ve said and ignored the fact that I’ve literally done a video about the PIF potentially buying the student sections of the building and converting it into a hotel with boutique restaurants etc on the ground floor. I’d encourage you to watch both my recent videos, absorb what has been said, take into consideration the fundamental facts and issues and I’m happy to have an intelligence conversation about this 👍🏻

👍🏻

Sounds great 👍🏻

😲😃

🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

Brutalist architecture has it's place for me. I actually don't mind it as a stadium style. The stand is obsolete now owing to its limited capacity and lack of facilities rather than it's architecture per se. When it was first built it was actually quite an elegant solution. The roof appeared massive without any end screens. Now it looks absurdly small in the context of the other stands. Amazing how times change.

@@sammyb1651 exactly. Maybe a slope similar to City Ground at Forest adjacent to The Strawberry pub with some safe standing could allow a couple more thousand. Either way 65,000 could be achievable using crane technology and lateral thinking.

I didn’t know that. Cheers 👍🏻

I’ve made videos about this and relocation just is neither on the owners mind, or a realistic prospect in the city centre (within a reasonable timescale) even if it were. Thankfully we’ll be staying put 👍🏻

There definitely won’t be a new stadium Alastair

👍🏻

They should go all out for 90 thousand capacity its possible, imagine the noise

The buildings definitely won’t be moved Peter

@@TynesideLife I’m on about the Grade 2 listed buildings which you were talking about on your previous video. I know the Grade 1 listed buildings will not be moved. I know doing work inside listed buildings can be a nightmare. I saw a television show a few years ago. The people wanted to remove an awful 1970s bathroom from a listed Georgian house. They were told the bathroom was listed because it was already in the property when the building was granted listed status. 🤦‍♂️

@@peteralderson1483 I was too Peter. I know in exceptional circumstances buildings can be moved but this is rare and because of a critical or culturally significant reason. If you haven’t seen my previous video, I interview the owner of those Grade II listed buildings. Even if the above criteria were met, which I’d argue it isn’t, available real estate in Newcastle city centre is negligibly none existent. There’s more chance of a demolition, but that’ll be a push

I can't see them moving any of the grade 2 listed buildings especially to Beamish,we will just have to wait for relevant reviews and reports to find out concrete solutions to what has been an issue for as long as NUFC 's ground was initially developed. Here's hoping we get a positive solution for the club and for the owners of the said buildings, great podcast , very informative and useful.

It’s exactly the opposite mate. Sorry. This very thing is currently being done on Pilgrims St as we speak. It has also been done on Nuns St with the Alchemist. The Facade remains as the inside is completely transformed. This is I should point also what has happened to convert the inside of Leazes Tce into a student Halls of Residence. Of course it’s expensive but a hotel conversion is a very viable and lucrative long term investment the city, not just football fans. Plus converting the ground floor into boutique shops, cafes and restaurants is not a new idea. I also discuss these ideas with experts in their field and if you’ve watched my previous video, I interview the owner of St James’ Tce. These are Grade II listed buildings. You’re welcome 😀

@@TynesideLife they would be better off developing Strawberry Place in the long run as a fan zone bar and restaurant complex with a hotel above it, there is already planning permissions in place for a hotel there which with some adjustments could be made to work with an expansion of the Gallowgate end.

@@RushfanUK I’ve done a video about the Strawberry Place Fanzone. I’ve since been contacted by someone privy to information on the new scheme and they’ve told me that my vision is spot on. Its going to be called Sela City Zone. If you get a minute, have a watch 👍🏻 In regards to your planning permission point, there was planning permission submitted by the previous land ‘owners’ (its leased) for three tower blocks, one a hotel. Those plans are no longer applicable or valid. Currently there is no planning application for the land concerned in regards to the new Fanzone but this may, or may not have its own hotel there too. My only aim in my responses to you is to correct some misunderstandings. The purpose of my Leazes Tce video is to encourage people to expand their minds and understanding of the amazing possibilities. It’s not meant to come across as what is actually happening. Thank you for your interest mate 👍🏻

You’ll have to reread your comment Jason as it doesn’t make sense? 😃

That could work too 👍🏻

Only on my channel I’m afraid. They were drawn up especially

@@TynesideLife Fair enough, feel like that concept would get a lot of people on board with knocking it down tho if they seen it.

We have enough of this in city centre mate

@@rossblack9559 I think the point was that it will become part of the club and help generate more avenues of income. Look at Chelsea with their hotel as part of the club too

@@alanurwin7619 I said in previous comment its listed building and people live there and has been a big part of the city centre. Not only that it will start to raise prices for people who live very close by.

I haven't read any of your previous comments as I don't actually care what your opinion is to be honest

@@alanurwin7619 now now

@@TynesideLife auto correct @ I was supposed to say encased the full building with glass. So the area where the road and grass is would become indoors. Like a big open plan area
