    The key bit is when our CEO says that a move would double matchday income and, obviously, help massively with PSR. He says the move they're seriously considering wouldn't be too far which suggests...Leazes Park?

    Be gutted to leave St. James' but, in terms of moving forward, it looks like it's inevitable if we want to challenge at the top consistently.

    Thoughts?
    Yeah, it will be sad to leave SJP 100% agree.

    IF we do stay within walking distance of the Gallowgate, Leazes Park, town Moore etc I really don't have too much of a problem with it.

    If it's out of town and a complete relocation then It's going to completely change the identity of the club.

    I agree. If it?s a move to Leazes Park, I hardly count it as a move. The stadium is already completely different now from when I first went and loyalty to the exact m2 of ground is weird. It?s the location in the center of the city which is important.

    I doubt it Leazes. They said ?not too far?, so I read it as ?not complete outskirts?.

    Spurs had their place rebuild the same way current plans suggest SJP move to Leazes and they still had a year at Wambley.
    Moving away for a year might get us back a year or so - I mean revenue wise. The board can see it as a red flag.

    But Leazes option is something like a golden mean, though - same location, brand new place
