SJP could look something like this:

SJP could look something like this:

Regarding the Leazes Terrace.

The whole build is not Grade 1 listed.

Only the facade of the building is Grade 1 listed.

The internals of the building have been remodelled many times over it's history. So the facade can be taken down, moved to Beamish or another location in Newcastle and rebuilt. The rear terrace of the building can remain in place. This would then allow for a complete stadium upgrade to enclose all 4 sides the same as the Milburn stand.

The cost will be high but the returns for the club will pay for itself. Potentially taking the capacity to around 90-95,000 seats. Possibly with Safe standing we can get too a capacity of 100,000!

We'll fill it ever week n all!

They would have lost money on the office blocks. The accommodation blocks may have been viable but they couldn't get the backing.

Canny flip for them, mind. Probably earned a few bob.

Great news - love it how the club exudes ambition these days.

Are you sure a Grade 1 listed facade can be moved, Raga?

They can, but the opposition would be so huge it won't happen. 'No business on the moor' would pale in comparison.

It would be fantastic if it comes off and considerably less cost and upheaval of relocating.

Great to see it bought back, to me shows they want to try everything to keep at St. James rather than a new stadium.

Yes it can. There is precedence. It will of course be a long drawn out process, take possibly years. Knowing the National trust as I do, they are not an organisation who make decisions rapidly. However, with the overwhelming support of the local community at all echelons we could see a decision sometime in 2025 on the possibility of deconstruction and relocation.
