    I can foresee plans coming out to transform SJP like. I don’t think long term it will end up as basic as just whacking L7 on the Gallowgate. I still think the best case scenario would be a temporary stadium built on Exhibition Park (Qatar anyone?) and SJP being flattened and rebuilt from scratch.
  2. Stay. Stay. Stay. And I say this as a member who can rarely get in these days. We should exhaust all options before even considering thinking about leaving. There’s a lot to be said about ‘place’ these days. In many ways as a society, it’s all we have left. I don’t want to remove a distinct ‘place’ for me, and thousands of others. Yes, moving it to the Arena site might sound amazing on paper, but you cannot replace the aura of place. Spurs are the only Club who’ve managed to keep that running thread of place with the way they changed their stadium. Highbury to the Emirates is only 0.3 miles walk - and I am sure the aura of Highbury’s place is is long gone. SJP to the Arena is 0.9 miles. I think of the ever increasing size of the Etihad and the way they have to flog tickets to students to fill the capacity. This too would one day be our fate in a ground anything over 65,000. To be honest, I think within a decade of success, we’d sometimes struggle to fill 55,000 against a Bournemouth or Burnley without gifting tickets away. Sometimes in business, demand can be more beneficial than supply. Build where we are, increase the Gallowgate, tart up the concourses and Corporate areas and we can keep our soul. The good news is, we will be doing that.

    Great article and photos of the Town Moor racecourse (until 1881) and grandstand. There was also the Newcastle Exhibition (on Exhibition Park in 1927). It would be interesting if the Exhibition Park/Jesmond end could ever be used and a green land transfer is given back for Leazes Terrace. Surely there’s be plenty of the Moor still left (it is massive like!) https://www.northeastheritagelibrary.co.uk/sports-archive/4022/town-moor-racecourse

    I trained as a physio and have a degree in it. The test he did was completely spot on. You have to move the limb to ‘pain’ to assess where the pain is. Also, as mentioned it’s only a ROM test. Nothing in the clip shows an ACL test.

    Given up. It’s all a load of shite. I was a bit of a cunt in mine on zoom like I said the crux of the issue is ticketing and nothing will change until that is sorted.

    Table 7: People to regroup at end of season so can be together. Club to support a dedicated fan group for making noise Half time entertainment - Zorbs… Cut out birthday announcements DJ is shit More screens We like pyro New singing section away from Strawberry Corner Table 8: Specific singing section Members to choose where they can sit and be involved in safe standing 👍🏻 Drums 50:50 split Improve PA system More screens Ability to move ST to go into safe standing Digital ticketing = larger queues Fan Cam…

    Main Point from each Table Table 1: Independent sellers to take stuff to your seat so people don’t leave before HT and come in after HT. Table 2: Queueing system outside affecting it. Local kids teams on the pitch to get people in earlier to improve atmosphere… Table 3: Expand safe standing - have four corners (well done that table) Table 4: Having lyrics to chants on the screen 🫠 Family area as dedicated singing area (home and away against each other) Half time - songs updated for DJ. Ask fans what they want… PA system too loud Table 5: Singing section expansion and into different parts of ground (well done that table) Sititng amongst likeminded people Videos with lyrics to chants on the website (what the actual Fuck?! Bad form that table) Table 6: Everything rests on likeminded people into one section and move those who don’t into another part of the stadium 👍🏻 Cheaper tickets next to away fans to spark atmosphere 👍🏻 Friends being able to sit next to each other 👍🏻

    Was always going to happen. Toon chants tweets has been saying the same thing. Fucking depressing. https://x.com/toonchants/status/1764060742276309259?s=46&t=vdsN_AHh11-g3YCkSAx-2g
