    I wonder if it would feasible, from an engineering perspective to build a second tier to gallogate, but have its base in the fan zone and supported from there? Arc over the road? No issues with extra weight on the metro station. Road would even likely remain open. Maybe a load of nonsense idea but fanzone leading into a new free standing second tier. Thanks Eddie again.

    Like you I believe the fan zone is going to be spectacular,....stella, or do I mean Sela!!
    I am curious about the timing of this development happening, Sela will want it underway sooner rather than later, but isn't it dependent upon the plans for the Gallowgate development, which in itself is dependent upon plans for the East stand. I suspect the full plan for St James Park and Strawberry place will be released soon,.....which is very exciting.
    I'm looking forward to being at St James August 6th for the Sela event,....I think this is going to be special.

    Eddie - do you think the Gallowgate extension will form part of the Sela city zone and be developed all as one project ? If you look at what Man City are doing with their new stand if might give us a feel of what’s to come - they have ambitious Middle East owners who think along similar lines ?

    • @TynesideLife
      @TynesideLife  Рік тому

      I’ve seen the Etihad plans and they look amazing. They’re however lucky not to have a public road directly behind it, or a metro station and tunnel.
      Before the Sela announcement, I was convinced of a huge cantilevered extension to the Gallowgate. Now that in know of the Sela plans, I’m not convinced there will be a Gallowgate extension. I’m definitely certain there won’t be an extension and Sela Fanzone built at the same time.
      For example, an 8K expansion will cost around £400-500m to build and will only generate around £10m per year revenue. Yankuba Minteh cost £6m.
      I fear our owners may see a year round Sela City Zone and increased corporate areas as the best way to increase revenue.
      I’m convinced of an East Stand rebuild and the PIF purchasing of Leazes Tce to convert it into a money making hotel.
      If you watch anything talking about the East Stand covering Leazes Tce, they’re ill informed and haven’t researched anything
      Hope this helps 👍🏻

      In addition, our owners have pledged to stay, they’re now investing significant revenue into the St James’ infrastructure and surrounding land, and even if they wanted to move, it’s not up to them.
