Please read our Please read ourWhilst we are all still waiting for news on what Newcastle United are planning on doing, a new Manchester United update on their stadium plans.Manchester United working on plans for a massive new stadium.Public money to be committed to the plans.‘…with the development of a world-class stadium for Manchester United at the heart of the project.
We are repeatedly told that the Newcastle United owners and senior staff are looking at/waiting for feasibility plans on expanding St James’ Park and/or a brand new stadium.For anybody to believe that almost 40 months after buying the club, the Newcastle United owners are still waiting to hear what is feasible… is beyond belief.
My belief is that they have no intention whatsoever of redeveloping St James’ Park. To add only around 8,000 seats would cost a relative fortune and cause massive disruption. Newcastle United fans filled a 52,000+ capacity St James’ Park across 23 home matches in the Championship and that was when Mike Ashley was still here, fans filled the stadium in that second-tier campaign simply because Rafa Benitez gave us a little bit of hope by staying.
Tottenham’s new stadium was a game-changer for them, without it there is no way they could have hoped to compete in the future. You can also say that with Arsenal and their Emirates stadium built years earlier. Plus those two have the added bonus of being based in London and charging London prices for hospitality and normal seats.
I have always seen Newcastle United as a club that can be a bit of a one-off, a Bundesliga/Premier League hybrid. This new Government when elected, made clear that economic growth was at the heart of their plans AND that they would back as far as possible major investment and development plans around the country, to boost jobs, local regeneration and generation of revenues/taxes.
I am absolutely confident that if indeed the current Newcastle United owners are ambitious, if they commit to a brand new 80,000+ state of the art stadium in the Leazes Park/Castle Leazes area.
While Manchester United would be responsible for the stadium development, support from public bodies would be needed to unlock the wider regeneration opportunity, including improved transport infrastructure and housing.
