Best to try and increase the capacity of the Gallowgate end I'm sure I've read it could increase to 60k for the stadium. It's unique in the city where it is and personally I want to stay at SJP

[@TynesideLife]

It can’t be extended unfortunately. I’ve done a couple of videos on this topic and you may like to check out my ‘St James’ Redevelopment’ video. In fact the stadium can’t be extended at all, without a significant rebuild. I hope we stay too. It just needs a clean up and capacity will increase when we have designated standing areas. Thanks for your message👊🏻

[@TynesideLife]

@@geegee3826 the Gallowgate can’t be extended as there’s no land to extend it onto. I’ve had a few suggestions about lowering the pitch but it was explained to me by an architect that to lower the pitch you would need the extra trigonometry angle by extending the stands out. Again, back to the same problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ianbedwell8795]

Try that again, fat fingers. We were talking about the St. James' extension and thinking laws were there to be changed with doing back so many years. I know when you did the video with Adam that the light issue at the Leasses Terrace stop that stand from being build up. Just hope that can change in time and possibly be the answer. More pressing issues are a win tomorrow, here's hoping.

[@TynesideLife]

Great message Ian cheers. Personally, I can’t identify any wriggle room that wouldn’t cost a fortune and a very long time to sort out. Having said that, I’m not on authority on the matter, I’m just piecing together the evidence as it stands and presenting the likely outcome. The capacity can increase when standing is allowed in certain sections. Other than that, unless they build 4/5 miles outside the city centre, I think we’ll stick with what we’ve got. The city centre stadium is integral to the community and the local economy.

Hi Justin, have you see my video I did about South Shields? I can’t remember if I covered this but I did do some research and I could only find 2 or 3 half baked theories. Maybe I’ll do a bit more digging and do a video about things we probably don’t know about in South Tyneside 👊🏻

[@zulu3621]

The name Sandancer originally came from the influx of foreign workers in the late 19th century. Seaman from the Far East would stay in South Shields awaiting work on the ships as stokers. Many boarding homes wouldn’t take them so there would gather on the beaches in makeshift tents living there until work was available. At night they would sing and dance there traditional songs around there camp fires. The locals started to call the them sandancers, it’s sort of stuck with people coming from South Shields mainly as a derogatory term used by peoples from Newcastle.

[@TynesideLife]

@@zulu3621 that’s one theory. I’ve also read about the process of removing lumps from sand with their feet that was later transported to a nearby glass factory (back in the day). I’ve heard this from local town folk too 🤷🏻‍♂️ I couldn’t find anything definitive, unless you can point me to the historical reference you’re referring to? It’s all very interesting stuff! 👊🏻

[@zulu3621]

@@TynesideLife This story was passed down from my great grandfather who lived and worked in South Shields back in those days . He said he remembers the men of the town would go down to the beach to sell them alcohol even though most of them were Muslims and they referred to them as the Sandancers. I don’t think your going to find and literal evidence anywhere as these where just local events.

[@TynesideLife]

@@zulu3621 fascinating stuff! It sounds very plausible that this could be the origin of the term and I’m certainly not in a position to say it’s not.

Thanks for the background c mon toon!

Great stuff. Why not build the new Toon stadium in Durham? According the aweful Roger Whittaker song, "Durham Town", Durham stands by the Tyne. I think he needed to check his map. To any non geographers, Durham stands by the River Wear, and is 18 miles south of Newcastle. Joking aside, I love your Border Collie. Great dog. He wanted you to crack on with your walk on the Town Moor, and not mess with video recording.

The " vampire rabbit" looking towards St Nicholas cathedral..does anyone know why it was put there for...

Something to do with The Masons. I did look at doing a piece on that but it hasn’t struck me as very interesting 🤔

I remember that town moor path, walked it many times, there was a rumour that a girl lied down on a bench and froze to death. I hope thats not true
