Newcastle To Build A NEW Stadium?! Official Statement & Survey RELEASED!!!

[@kereyhaire6910]

Love to see newcastle get an 80,000+ new stadium filled with loud passionate fans, proper fan base, from brum fan

[@kurtmiller7040]

Cheers mate. Nice to hear other fans being nice and not giving us unlimited abuse. Respect

[@holliebeachill7589]

Unfortunately as much as I want us to stay at st James park I do think we need a new stadium

[@paulgclarkmusic]

Totally agree mate, get the 80k stadium built!

[@SofiaSurprise98]

Just came back from the theatre royal after watching the brilliant play/musical Gerry & Sewell ( and every Toon fan should go & see it) & I absolutely loved your cameo at the end. 10/10 ❤

[@TheMagpieChannelTV]

Thanks so much, pleased you loved it!🙌🏻

[@markbolam1383]

clear they have considered extending but concluded a new stadium is needed i agree with them

[@daveyeddie8176]

There is over 1,000 acres of green land on the Town Moor, bigger than central park in New York, used for literally nothing apart from some cattle and dog walkers. NUFC is a massive part of our city's culture, and the heartbeat for huge amounts of folk, and a lot of people put NUFC up next to their families, they really do. Imo we could build a stadium everyone could be proud of, the envy of the country, of course their will be some objections, but we have to move forward. I love the culture and heritage of our city but taking one tenth of the city centre green space is hardly detracting from that. It's all about opinions, i love my city i love NUFC, and i think a new stadium would add to the city massively. The Saudis also looking to put £250,000,000 worth of infrastructure in to the north east at a time when cash strapped councils are really struggling, is a massive lifeline. That surely cuts them some slack. We have really have to open our minds and move forward. Football is such a big part of the culture of this city. I will add imo the perfect place for a new stadium is the site were they hold the Hoppings, terrific infrastructure for getting in and out of the town, the area is more than a perfect size, yea, i get all the it's the freeman of the city's land along with the city council etc, but whatever has to be done to appease the city council and the freeman can be done by our owners, I'm pretty sure of that. And the ancient laws say land can be donated by the council and freeman if it is deemed to improve the culture of the city, well imo it would 100 per cent, NUFC is the very heartbeat of our city. And i will add whatever decision is made by the club, I won't gripe on it, my preference is for a new stadium though, we have the opportunity of a lifetime, and for me taking a small piece of green belt land should not stop it. It would enhance our city to another level. And regarding Sir John Halls application to build a stadium in Leazes park in the 90's that had the green light, it was the objections of the objectors "No Business on the Moor" with 36,000 signatures that made the council back down. Different times now, and imo we would get the go ahead for Leazes park, objections or not. But that Hoppings site, has terrific infrastructure, firstly a blank canvas, and then the roads that lead in and out of the city are perfect, there's other places to put the Hoppings!!!!. I put a bit of effort in to that answer😊 and it's just my take on it😉

[@TheMagpieChannelTV]

Appreciate the effort in that comment mate!

[@GeordieJoe1892]

Build the new stadium and training complex on the Town Moor. We'd probably still have some room left over to build a new fanzone as well.

[@deanharding740]

extending into Leazes park seems like the obvious thing to do and would create a city centre mega venue for visitors using shops, restaurants and hotels. It’s fair enough having protected land but the local economy, jobs, visitors, etc is critical for the benefit of the city and surrounding area. If anything, the whole of Leazes park could surround the stadium and be landscaped into an amazing space.

[@daveyeddie8176]

@@deanharding740 Yes, options are open, I'm fine whatever the outcome, and SJP can be redeveloped commercially ie fans hub and hotel etc, have a look at what they are doing at man city, although they are just revamping the stadium ie one stand they are also building on to it, it will look excellent when finished, it's on KZbin. HWTL.

You can only put roads on the Moor, nothing else will ever get built on it.

Matty - your comments totally echo my own. The comments from fellow fans say the same thing. Can’t wait for our new super stadium. Anyone who was in Atlanta a couple of summers ago will agree too!!!

[@patrickrogan6837]

Totally agree buddy new stadium 100% lets look forward not in the past the past is memories

[@chazu-land]

Give us a new one!!! St. James park is a significant part of our history but we have to modernize to keep up with the business needs of our growing club. It's an easy decision in my opinion.

[@krisdeltoro]

You can’t have the Toon outside of the Toon!! You just can’t..knock down the stadium and rebuild it! They can’t move out of the city..

[@andrewfield8562]

So where would they play while it's getting rebuilt?

[@hazbohogg2234]

Good video mate keep up the hard work love your content and videos mate keep it up

[@Mark_my_words_YT]

From everything I’ve read the vast majority of fans would be in favour of a new stadium as long as it is close to the current one. To stay where we are with a few extra seats in the Gallowgate is not going to be transformative.

[@DominoEffect2528]

It's going to be a new stadium. The current one doesn't fit the bill for mutli purposes needed in the modern game.

[@DavidVeitch54]

Has to be Leazes Park mate and if the Council object watch the panic and hate for our glorious past Council members from fans and the business communities in the Toon.

[@Ge0rdieDan_]

its not just the council. its english heritage and the park is grade 2 registered as a historic park. not gonna happen basically. Even the Moors cant be touched. has to be on SJPs current footprint or elsewhere. If true fans want the club to evolve then a few more stops on the metro wont kill them

[@taylor-mb6eg]

Just watched tyneside life video and it's all but guranteed not to be built on leaves park.

100% we could fill an 80k stadium, I’d pay up front for 4 season tickets now 😂

[@bentleytheboxer2441]

Easy fill 80k mate I don't think people realise how far north of newcastle the toon is adored & supported we have the north of England supporting us allways have 80k no problem

[@paulbell8592]

Definitely a new stadium, sentiment is all well and good nostalgia will always be a thing but I think this is a no brainier we need to increase revenue so 75/80 thousand seater will surely be part of the answer. It’s our time to shine we want to be up there with the best and we need a stadium to show we ain’t resting on our laurels. The futures bright its black n white.😊

[@geordieboy1309]

Hope to god we get a brand new stadium, I’ve not managed to get a ticket since the takeover, it’s absolutely mental, before the takeover it was tricky sometimes but it’s basically impossible now especially when your at work and family commitments trying to get hold of one never mind having to get a couple of tickets

[@stevemartin1107]

Hi Matty, firstly I’ll see you at the show on Saturday night as I have a ticket with my wife. Looking forward to that. Secondly, totally understand that if you’ve got a season ticket you will not want to leave James Park. However, there is another 52,000 they haven’t got a ticket, The want to go. We have to build a new stadium to progress. Look at Tottenham, Everton Arsenal, et cetera et cetera if we do not build a new stadium, we will never ever catch up. Cheers Steve.

[@chrissnaith1970]

New stadium has to be the way but Matty I fear about location . Leazes park I think would work for most fans but according to Eddie Tyneside Life the council , Green belt organisation and the Freeman have reportedly had no contact from NUFC regarding plans for a stadium in Leazes park !! It could well end up in let’s say Gosforth 😱 let’s face it The Saudi’s have never had a few pints in thr Dog and Parrot and then made their way up to the Cathedral on match day . Exciting but worrying times 👍

[@andrewgarrett5799]

[@aarontaylor8084]

[@iainmaley3319]

Newcastle can fill 80k for Premier League games, not much point doing 60k. PIF is not short of cash or more importantly, ambition.

[@KnightWolf1981]

Right on, Matty.

[@billburnett3902]

Totally agree.

[@michaeldonald4187]

Hopefully the local transportation systems will also be expanded to allow “ visitors “ to SJP to maybe stay until to final whistle. As there are many who are so stressed they will not be able to get home after 5pm!!!!because of the inadequate transport and road systems. I would have referred these folks as “ supporters “ but not able to arrive or stay to the end makes them “visitors.

[@Petertoonarmyvick]

As a toon fan lives in the North west I can not get a ticket for love nor money only games I can get to are away games sat in the home end 😢 Would love to be able to see more games in the toon in the home end

[@brianhunter1410]

Di got a ticket from my uncle, was against Liverpool and at half time crowd number was announced, sold out, with a further 90,000 enquires. This was in the KK era but we could easily sell out stadium of up to 100k. We have to show big ambition if we want to keep up with the big clubs, ManU, 2billion, ManC, 1 billion upgrade. This is our moment to show the world we are in the race, 8000 upgrade leaves you in the cheap seats and world class players will take notice.

[@golfinggeordie7203]

Ive said it from day one a new stadium is the only way forward.Arena by the tyne and still a good option for transport links to and from the area.80,000 seater is a minimum that's just thinking about football but other revenue is to be had like NFL etc.

[@northeastpyro8796]

I would love to go see purely belta live. Unfortunately the father and son scenes hits hard

[@davidhuddart9262]

Great update aa usual.. You have confirmed what I have always thought . There is zero chance of a stadium being built on Leazes park . Remember all the hassle sir john faced in 97 very clearly .. That being the case I think a new stadium rebuild on the current site is the best solution. Most fans of all clubs would love that scenario. Whatever they decide is fine by me apart from moving to some obscure site outside the city .

[@johnwalters4792]

Hope you guys can join us City winning trophies and kicking Man Us Arsenal.

[@leejonesAngling]

The only place to put a new stadium is at st James's or it would kill the town center, peoples lively hood are more important than giving footballers more money.

[@jonodunn2592]

lol WTF it’s nothing to do with giving footballers more money and it wouldn’t kill the town centre 😂 there’s a match every 2 weeks at st James is the town centre dead in between games😂

[@TonyODOnnell-tt8gh]

We have to have a Brand new Stadium. We have to move with the times. Where , as you said, right at the back of the que now in terms of stadium capacity. & modernisation; 75, 000 +( which can be inc further). One that the roof closes in on. So music concerts, Rugby, Nfl. You name it, can be played, & be seen their. The rev from that will pay for itself...St James's Park is to restricted. The Toon fan's could make a good atmosphere in a cardboard box. Yes, well, have found memories of St. James's. But new, better ones can be made. Where, for once every fan will get to see..... in the new Wembley of the North....

[@oldloafandyoung]

It's not about a pie, a pint & a programme anymore. It's all about Corporate entertaining. Ticket match experiences costing tourists hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.

[@Garymoffatblues]

The land SJP is built on isn't even owned by the club. SJP is like triggers broom. Even though the location is the same it's beyond recognition to when I started going as a young boy (I can still smell the old toilets at the gallowgate now) I get the sentiment but most of us were not even born the last time we won anything and brought the trophy back to the ground. Unless we are talking intertoto cup and the sela cup. Also if we increase sjp it will take a few years so that's a few years of lowering our attendance to say 35 000 to build up the new stands which just does not make financial sense at all. SJP will always hold a special place in my heart but we need to move with the times and that's a new stadium. Maybe do what arsenal did with Highbury and also put hotels on it adjourned to the new ground.

[@Unclebuzzcocksne]

Triggers broom 😂

[@ATKZN]

The thing is with this whole new stadium situation, is that people get too strung up on the past. In order for us to grow and build into something bigger change needs to happen. Now as much as I would love to see us have St James be our ground for many years, I know that in order to challenge and compete we need more revenue and more seats, tickets etc and with that we would have more revenue which in turn would help with PSR & FFP and I am all for it. I know its a big thing to say but don't let nostalgia and the past hold us back from progressing and accept that the new owners want the best for the club. Hopefully they take the leap and build a new stadium because I know for a fine fact, it would be one of the best stadiums in the UK alongside those like Tot, Man C etc.

[@LGlifeisgood]

Don’t forget we could hold the World Cup rugby World Cup nfl and concerts and the lasses when they get in the pl and that’s not including the extra seats and facilities food drink ect that a new stadium would generate, with a new stadium and more family friendly like the Mercedes Benz stadium we could get 90k easy , it’s time for a new stadium with PSR and it will make it sustainable for the future, and even if PSR stays the same we will be fantastic no matter who owned us and that will make us a top club

[@ozzy6162]

It HAS to be a new stadium however where it's going to be built is a BIG problem. The evidence collected by Eddy from "Tyneside Life" suggests it won't be on Leazes Park. The Town Moor & the Utilita Arena area also seem very doubtful - so is demolishing St. James' and rebuilding the new stadium on the same site. Many toon fans won't like it but we may have to be pragmatic and allow the stadium to be built on the outskirts of the city or even, dare I say it, outside the city - shock horror! 😱 Hopefully Brad Miller (COO) has something up his sleeve to avoid moving outside the city though - but if not, we may have to accept it to have the success we all crave.

[@stevepearce1913]

The problem is where to put it. Building it on Leazes Park or The Town Moor is out of the question as they are owned by the Freemen and are enjoyed by many. If the University hadn't grabbed all the land which was the site of our brewery it would have been fine. Castle Leazes could be an option but the football hating vegan tree huggers would glue themselves to the footpaths and stop it ever being built. My answer is to demolish Eldon Square shopping centre, move the bus stations and build it there. They could then both be relocated at the site of SJP.
