Very interesting and professional presentation. As a Tranmere supporter on the Wirral, I hope the 'expansion' is agreed to the mutual benefit of all concerned parties in Newcastle. 80,000 Geordies singing & cheering on 'The Toon' -- now that is something to look forward to.

Another fascinating video Eddy. You keep coming up with them, and we will keep watching. Seeing the Cathedral on the Hill as you drive in from Felling by-pass direction, Gateshead, is something that can never be replaced.

I could see some of the ground being bought back by Reuben brothers and The Gallowgate being expanded (using crane style tech like Bombanera or Bernabau) by 10,000 seats. On top of that, safe standing to take it closer to 65,000. Then the last stand have the San Siro style structure with huge new screens (like Sofi stadium) for advertising, VAR etc. I am a United fan, but this will be the best club stadium in UK if that is done, and it is very achievable.

Look money talks and Newcastle have won the biggest lottery ever so I can’t see a problem. It’s just a matter of options that the council agree to. There’s only one club in the city and the council should be supporting the idea of expansion not blocking every idea because eventually it will benefit everyone in the city. I’m a staunch West Ham fan but being married to a lush Geordie lass who only sees the black & white stripes of the toon I have grown a liking for the club. All the best for the future 👏🏼👏🏼⚒

The information on Alderman Fenwick house was interesting I never knew its history or its location ,I am sure there is other places in Newcastle that people do not know the history of some of these buildings Keep the videos comming mate ,with living in Indonesia your videos gives me a more interesting outlook of whats happening in the toon Thanks Eddie

Its a 65,000 capacity stadium, 2.5hr car journey from Newcastle with excellent rail links. Edinburgh is a wonderful destination and games would probably sell-out for every match.

@TynesideLife

2 жыл бұрын

Looking like that’s the likely outcome 👍🏻

excellent video backed up by extensive research. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise as a full gallowgate extension would have still limited capacity to just over 60,000 with the same limitations of the tiny east stand. In practical terms a move north will result in demolition of the whole stadium but the idea of moving the pitch north-west 10-20 metres into the milburn/leazes is more probable as the club can still retain a big chunk of the existing structure. Also the reason why I think this will be a more favourable solution is that they may be able to do it bit by bit without having to play elsewhere especially if they could limit attendance to just season ticket holders and away fans (depending on premier league rules) St James' Park seems to have a bit more room than most behind the goals and touchline which is also space that could be utilised however I've heard this can affect it as a venue for big competitions (Anfield can't host Euro 2028 for it's limited space around the pitch) One thing i've noted with this option is that the stadium is going to be far more compact, but with the additions of 3 far larger corners and a bigger east stand would really bulk up the capacity even if we'd be losing the first section of the milburn/leazes for the pitch move. If we did have to find somewhere else to play for a couple of years I think supporters would rather travel to Murrayfield in Edinburgh rather than share with the mackems. As for gateshead I believe the capacity is only just shy of 12,000.

Hi Lindsay

I know every move is controversial. For me the ideal first step would be to move the stadium 20 m north or so into Leases Park. This would mean the Leases would be closed for a year whilst being rebuilt. It would then give sufficient space for the Gallowgate to be expanded, however that would mean that stand being closed for a year. As for the option of a 2 year move to a temporary home, that's feasible. However with adding temporary stands at that venue, considering the amount of people looking to attend, Gateshead Stadium is completely out of the question. There is simply not enough room. The best option is Kingston Park, however the damage to the pitch of both football and rugby being played there would have to be taken into consideration.

There is plenty of land to do it, and the prospect of a stadium like the Milburn/Leazes stands on all sides would be stunning.

They might try that. As Marion states, it’s open for conversation

I honestly think the arena area is still viable. Although it’s been earmarked for residential development with Newby and Bellway homes. Developers will often sell for profit without having to lay a single brick…. Builders do this all the time…. Newcastle City Council Will off set the loss of an area earmarked for residential dwellings ie loss in residential council tax, against the entire cities economy getting a massive boost if the capacity is brought up to 90,000 each match day. I’m more than confident the arena and surround area is the only place to be considered. 😊 Logistically it’s close to the railway station and access in and out of Newcastle is brilliant with the Redeugh Bridge and a dual carriageway heading West bound.

@TynesideLife

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Liam, you’re right about developers selling for profit. There is a major point to consider however. The owners have went on record stating that we’re not moving from St James’ Park. In order to carry out this arena land plan, they need to buy the land now and that would then be on public record. There’d be hell on from a huge section of our fan base and goes against what they’ve promised. They have huge projects currently ongoing with the training facilities and generally rebuilding the club. They’re clearly just not in a position to make huge stadium relocation decisions, especially as we’re just a club with potential at the moment. Man Utd snd Everton are great examples of throwing money at a problem and look where they are. We need to be competing at the highest level before we can consider building an 80k seater stadium. Imagine spending £400-500m on players over the next few years snd we’re sat in the bottom half of the table? The stadium would be half empty. I can’t say for certain Liam but it’s my firm view that the arena land is the right place at the wrong time. In addition, the city needs (desperately) more housing, far more than they need a relocated stadium. Just my opinions 👍🏻

Great video Eddie. With regards to a possible relocation there are areas that could be suitable eg Hunters Moor, or the Town Moor itself, but possibly tucked into the corner by Exhibition Park. The trouble being of course is that they are protected by the mythical Freemen. To that end, as I and possibly many others don't know too much about their influence, could you potentially consider covering them in a future video?

@@TynesideLife yes we know they exist, but not a lot of people understand their role, or the influence they exert. If we go the new stadium route, then it's likely we'll need them, as well as the council on-board. Personally I like the idea of dragging everything NW, and if there's a possibility of achieving then I'm sure our owners would help toward the upkeep of Leazes Park in a you scratch my back scenario.

@Peter Maule I knew you existed, but I'm ignorant as to your history and of your role that you play today. I would be very grateful if you could point me to some suitable links. Better still you could collaborate with Eddie and be his next project. I appreciate the reply Peter, and any info you could give me.
