FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF ST JAMES PARK! Newcastle United Expansion & Modernisation!

[@Hades-my4jq]

I think they should go in partnership with Gateshead FC. Build a 30 000 or so capacity stadium there, use that temporarily as a shared home ground and demolish St james' and start from scratch. They should help turn Gateshead into Division one maybe even Championship team so we have somewhere local to send academy players out to on loan.

[@elixirix]

yes, I was thinking that too.

[@jamesrogan1989]

Would love to see the stadium development but definitely keeping it where it is.

[@revchips1]

Wonder how people would feel about a new stadium 100k seats at the utilitia stadium site, huge site within easy distance of the city centre the train station and the A1?

[@jimboll6982]

Rev chips... That is too sensible for most. Lets keep trying to knock square pegs in round holes eh?

If investment into St James park is not included into FFP, the sky is the limit with PIF, mega $$$ and as you said ideas to elevate the East stand and extend the Gallowgate and boomb, i reckon in 10 years time we will have a 70,000 seater/stander and the Cathedral will be the venue in the North! HWTL TOON army

[@kathchandler4919]

70,000 seater wouldn't go anywhere near man , try getting a ticket as a member, there was 33,000 last summer on top of the full allocation of St's, hospitality, away fans & gate sales on the day (as required of all EPL clubs) 85,000 would easily see our stadium full every home match 😀

[@jamesgreen3417]

Now if I wasn’t now stuck in a wheelchair, I would be for certain applying for the Hospitality and Events Manager role, that’s what I used to do most of my working career. Oh what a dream that would be to work for the club you love and support. I live near London but I’d relocate in a blink

[@lukebailey853]

Dont let that hold you back. If you have the skills and know how but more importantly the passion and ambition, you should at least apply. You said you would relocate in a beat. You might not get that role but something else within the club may be interested. Dont be afraid to be turned down. That application may lead to something.

It's very simple. Pull it down and move footprint of stadium north to enable total rebuild without obstruction from leazes terrace. Whilst stadium is being built we can play at purpose built temp stadium at Kingston park.

You do realise that Kingston Park rugby ground is now surrounded by houses?

@@GBDT you do realise that er...... no it isn't. There is a large empty bit of land behind the rugby stadium to the north. There is scope for a large development. It has been discussed recently by architects and planners

[@GBDT]

@@danlawson6652 By a large empty bit of land do you mean the University sports area or the bit above that. The area has problems on rugby match days, it won't be able to come with a football match day. Not to mention the NIMBY's who will be dwarfed by a stadium - even if it is temporary.

After seeing the Atlanta Mercedes-Benz Stadium, its certainly got a few fans thinking about their loyalties towards St James park

[@andrewrafford5955]

Drawback is St James Park is in the city center. There is only so much that can be done. Particularly with all of the underground works. I'd love to sit in the stands one day.

[@peterryan917]

But where would that be built?

[@SirAmnesia]

it cost a fortune to build but yeh that's not the point tbh. as much as i love SJP a new 80k stadium something along the lines of that would be amazing.

You took the words out of my mouth Atlanta looked amazing.

[@Tom_murray89]

I’m so glad Amanda and Co are planning to expand St James park

[@rhowell1978]

It’s as big as it can be, unfortunately the Treaty of Algeron stops us developing a cloaking device so Newcastle can’t have an invisible upper tier on the east stand and back to reality, I think we can stop with the idea that new technology is somehow going to make the stadium bigger.

[@markbardett4557]

If the owners are planning to keep sjp where it and have the foresight for it to be a Premier world leading events venue, then Leazes Terrace will need to be pushed back a little. But, this is already in the pipeline according to some. The. Sjp can can lead the way with a state of the art stadium.

[@davidarchbold6666]

Living down under for so many years, it seems another world since my last game at St James with me Dad Standing at Gallow gate end i remember the flooded toilets under the stands.... I do want to return one day and take in the game, Im sure i wont need my wellies this time..

[@SUM1SLY83]

Should have a transforming stadium that folds in on itself and folds out on match days, that way it will only block light while in use.

[@jackyjackanovski]

Great idea 💡 👍 you must smoke the green or like the mushrooms I presume 😂

[@v4vendetta237]

There was at least 74000 people trying to become a club member. Let that sink in. Becoming a member to help jump in front of general sale for tickets. Is it possible that an extension to the gallowgate and east stand has become redundant because capacity would still would fall well below demand.

[@johnwatson7120]

I seen them build the east stand I would love to see them pull it down and replace it with a new one to hold a 65.000 capacity rather than move . I have lots of memories from st James park long may it continue 🤞🤞

[@BrianHayes-ts9bh]

As a miggy fan from atlanta, and the mentioning of Mercedes Benz stadium, it would also be good to look at the mixed use development of truist park, the new home of the atlanta Braves.

Can’t see an equivalent of Spurs Lilly White House next to SJP. Best place for that, and all corporate offices, is as part of a new training site. Will be interesting when they eventually select a site and start getting plans.

[@dennisrocke3689]

Great view and opinions ,yet again

[@barrycharlessearle5253]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber to your informative chanel about St. James Park. Safe standing is actually rail seats so there will be no increase in the Stadium. What you failed to mention is to expand the Gallowgate end is a little tricky because there a major road near the Gallowgate end and more important the new expandable Gallowgate will have some foundation piles to overcome because of the underground metro near the new proposed Gallowgate stand. Any Stadium in the UK with capacity of over 60,000+ Transport links will to be improved.. The Leazes road Stand is possible with alter the road to be closer to the building and with clever Engineering Both stands could be extended. My Question to you can an expansion of a New Stadium be built within the Newcastle Car park as Tottenham Hotspur expanded the Old White Hart Lane into the Now Tottenham Hotspur stadium today?!! A reply be nice and keep up these informative video's With Regards. Baz

i think in 30+ years St James' will be modernized to full effect with revenue stream in every aspect. I think the owners will renovate st james park in small chunks by adding more natural light so every person can see inside wanting to be a part of it. i do think we will somehow expand the stadium to atleast 62000 maybe more. the owners will take their time as much as it takes to get this right.

Following mate

[@GBDT]

Playing Devils Advocate for a minute. What happens if we move to a brand new 80,000 seater stadium away from the City Centre in a few years time and the dream of being a top team doesn't happen? The new fans would be gone quickish, leaving only the true fans (30-40,000?) in a soulless, half empty stadium, costing us a fortune to run, no atmosphere in the ground, no pubs near enough, etc! Just a thought.

[@yannick245]

Well, the Saudis have an endless amount of money. Why not build all stands as large as the Leazes and Milburn stands? That would definitely increase the capacity to 80,000. Just like they did it with the Twickenham Stadium or the Santiago Bernabeu. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible. Given that money plays no role and everything can be solved with money. Barca is/was playing in a stadium with close to 100,000 seats which was basically never sold out, besides the big matches. And this was during the time when Messi was still playing and many tourists visited the stadium. It's not that bad of a sight if an 80,000 seater is only filled to ¾. Make the seats black and white, assembled in a non-linear pattern, which gives you the impression that less seats are empty. But if Newcastle remains the flagship of the Saudis in Europe, I don't see a decline in the foreseeable future. They have just slowly begun.

[@shauntaylor6040]

This is what happens when a previous owner does nothing in 13 years.
