It seems every day we get positive news from the club, Stadium expansion will be fantastic and Toon TV did a nice interview with the guy who owns the buildings who said he would sell them to NUFC. It’s great we have this almost daily communication from the club now.

​@ontheslide2339 he's on about St James' Terrace, which is infinitely more problematic in its location than Leazes Terrace for expansion of the East stand, however SJT is grade 2 listed unlike LT which is grade 1 listed and a deal is far more likely to be reached with the council on those properties.

They should knock it down, move the pitch north west, dig down and build an 80,000 seater

It will make the stadium so much better

We need a stadium that holds at least 75,000 this club is going to an unimaginable place,and it's very hard to get our heads around it,the pace at which its progressing is just the stuff of dreams...

I remember your video shortly after the takeover saying how buying the Gallowgate land back was vital for NUFCs future prospects. Seems our hopes and dreams are going to come true bud. If this gets passed I can see us extending both stands eventually and lifting the capacity to around 75,000. great time to be a Newcastle fan.

I don’t want to be a downer, but the the east stand is a no go and can’t be made any bigger and if anything would be made smaller as the leg room would need to be increased in the a new stand……….Whilst the M30 under the Vicente Calderón Stadium was built at the same time as the stadium, the Gallowgate end would have to build over an open station and road, which would be very expensive and probably not worth the money.

great video - love your enthusiasm pal 👍

Completely different, Liverpool's is scraggy terraces, these are beautiful Georgian buildings

I have made this comment on other shows. You need more seats to be able to keep the ticket prices down for games. If you keep it as is you will have constant price increases to be able to keep players to rival Man City. They want a winner and fans want to afford to see it. Expansion has to happen for both to be a reality.

The better choice knock it down Build a new one on the same site by diff angels/directions

It’s an impressive stadium and looks a lot bigger than many stadiums with higher capacity such as Anfield. I guess there is more legroom and space between seats? When were the newer stands built? In terms of the East expansion, that looks very unlikely. They definitely won’t knock down those Georgian houses, listed buildings. So how that is the easiest option? There isn’t enough space to expand, unless they effectively rebuild a more efficient stand entirely

Why would it take an architect a year or longer to draw plans?

Gonna be interesting to see how they figure this puzzle out. Maybe pull the whole stadium to the left (if your looking at the Gallowgate from where the fanzines going) and build up the Gallowgate and east stand?

They are clever people that own the toon they’ll sort it out I just know they’ll do something great with out club 👌🏻

One stadium they could look at if they wanted to expand the end stand is Ajax stadium. The stadium is actually built on top of a motorway. If they can do that then it might be possible to do something on the end stand. Ajax stadium gas a full motorway underneath it with roads underneath all 4 stands.

Would love to see both side expanded, with a full digital screen covering the full of the gallowgate end facing the road like the Saudi Shopping centre in Ryhad

Its just exciting to even be talking about expansion!!❤. I thought 8th place would be an excellent outcome after survival last season, before. We upset the applecart finishing in 4th. I feel we're ahead of schedule, and that says a lot about the work Eddy and Co have done!! We can actually start looking forward to an exciting future ❤

St James Park should be demolished and rebuilt into a brand new one on the same site like the Tottenham Stadium. This piecemeal expansion won't do any good. There needs to be a grand plan with huge capacity and state-of-the-art facilities. Just play at Sunderland for a year or two to get a New-castle!

That terrace is beautiful. Can't they build a new stand and clad it to echo that honey-coloured sandstone? A space could be created that would look like a Georgian street on non-match days. It wouldn't be cheap, but then money isn't a problem at Newcastle.

Love st james park LIVERPOOL fan.

Great vid Rob, but, having lived in the Toon for ten years, I can honestly say it never gets hot up there. My 2 step daughters are always complaining it is too hot as soon as the snow starts melting! That is why you all jet off to the med for real sunshine ha ha. As for the East stand, yeah, why not, it seems like a good idea

Imagine being the architect given this job! Where do you start? Theres some clever people in our world!

So when they build a fan zone, it's full on match days, then come kick off time those with tickets go to the match and those without do what? If the ground can't be extended, they should build a new one.

I say the owners should just go out and acquire a huge plot of land and build a mega stadium, training centre and fan zones all close to each other now that would be amazing. To extend the current stadium is too much hassle and will take time with feasibility studies, planning permission, settling the fees to pay off the current owners of the grade 1&2 buildings and so much more. A mega aesthetically pleasing stadium like Real Madrid’s would be ideal for NUFC

Make it look even more like a lego sett

Watched a video saying there is a 40 000 waiting list for season tickets for NUFC. WOW that’s some lost revenue. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Could they build an inflatable stand? I'm sure today's fabric technology is up to the job. The stand could be inflated a couple of hours before the game and deflated once the fans have left. This means the nice buildings across the road wouldn't be damaged and they'd only be covered up for a few hours every alternate weekend. Failing that couldn't the stand be made out of bricks similar to Lego? They could build the stand before every game and dismantle it afterwards. I'm sure engineers could design and manufacture a full-size Lego style brick.

My seat is in the East Stand. I just hope my seat stays where it is. I’m all in favour of the expansion, onwards and upwards as they say.

Do you ever not have a beer in ya hand? Hahahaha never change Rob.

And eventually 100,000 capacity.

It's simple but expensive knock the whole stand down build a new one on hydrolics that only rises up on match days job done 😊

They would go from being the Stadium 128 in capacity to being 32 Surprising

Can you build over them ie put them under the stand

Can imagine the Gallowgate will be a massive job, but in the end will be immense and may see away fans in there at some point Away fans could get on a train/plane at there end and wouldnt have to go outside until they get to the stadium Add around 15 stories of space underneath the stand down to the metro line you could fill with bars, 3-4 story store, various resteraunts etc.

Not Geordies but I honestly think they need a stadium with a capacity of minimum of 75,000 All the big clubs seem to go for 60,000 which I think is wrong they should look at minimum of 70,000

We built up the whole ground (East Stand aside) with the only disruption being a slightly reduced Gallowgate End for half a season. Then an extension with the only disruption being no roof for a year. They'll surely manage something now.

Expanding will most likely never happen as the proposed fan zone is a 3 year contract behind the Gallowgate . A fan appeasement only. No chance of the east stand ever being done, and as a toon fan I hope not. Demolishing a lovely Georgian terrace. The town Moor the only feasible option. The council would want millions for the land, plus a match day dividend. Not happening ever.

Why is everyone over complicating this expansion, why don’t we do what spurs done! Build a new stadium directly behind in Leazes park. Build 3 of the 4 stands, the pitch and move into it. Then build the 4th stand which would be over the current Leazes stand. Then knock down remainder of old stadium, convert into shops/ bars etc and a massive home/ away fanzone area!

Don't call me Shirley!

It’s the most important structure in the whole town, it would seem obvious to do away with the listed status on the row of houses and compulsory purchase for the benefit of everyone in the town since the whole town loves NUFC.

BE MASSIVE

Just shows how far Cashley took the club backwards with 15 year's of hurt. With half a brain, the moron could've had a lot of the expansion done before now. It's great to see so many positive now as a fan, but the ground expansion is probably a 3 to 5 year project for both the East Stand and Gallowgate. All in good time and plenty of football to enjoy in the meantime. Onwards and upwards and HWTL.

I gave my season ticket up in the Gallowgate after a divorce an being able to have my daughters at weekends, thought when they got older I'd get a new season ticket, right in the middle of the Ashley mess I'd just get a few match tickets, now it's basically impossible to get in, yeah I'm gutted but God knows what it's like for the ones that gave up theirs in protest an Ashley gave away 10k free tickets just to get fans in the stadium

Turning into San Siro

Converting the east corner to standing so it won't be any time soon

Build a new stadium to go with the needs of the club. If we think small, we stay small. I am a proper geordie born and breed, and I can't get in .and before I get the well, we have gone for 15 years, though the bad times .try watching in the late 70/80 it was way worse than under Ashley..I would love to stay at St James but its just not fit for purpose

They can’t even fill the current capacity

They're just biding time until they move it out to the Jubbah Desert.

At least the council keep the weeds growing!

But for me will be a bad thing really bad if the written NEWCASTLE UNITED disappear

There’s no way that’ll happen where them houses are

Demolish, get some cash, move in to the stadium of light with Sunderland!

Move the metro line

The term "Glory hunters" has taken off in a big way in Newcasle !

To me we should move the stadium up into Leazes Park and create a green area of park where stadium is now to keep the Greenies happy. 80,000 + capacity but I doubt they'll do that.

Am I the only person that’s bothered about all those horrible scattered black and grey seats.

Let’s face it, Newcastle have historically always been shi*e . Huge local support dying for success but the closest they got to success was the Keegan era. Iam sure despite all the talk of Newcastle selling their soul and making a pact with the devil their fans will seriously buzz off the ride that has only just begun, i for one don’t begrudge their supporters the fun they will have shaking up the usual tier of big clubs.
