Club are looking to extend the stadium

Newcastle Airport is in Newcastle City Council boundary therefore in Newcastle. It shouldn't have Sunderland in the name, as it's nowhere near it and Sunderland just isn't that important.

It's a stupid argument, you don't travel from Glasgow Paisley Airport, Dublin Swords Airport, Edinburgh Ingliston Airport or Manchester Blackburn Liverpool Airport

It's not in Ponteland and never has been, it's in Woolsington. Right small town mentality imo and embarrassing.

We have Sunderland university in London

Check out who owns and pays for it clever shi**e.

As a matter of interest where do you live? The number of Mags from shitholes like the West End of Newcastle, Longbenton, Byker etc. who slag off Sunderland as though they live in the middle of Kensington or Florence is hilarious. You slag us continually and in the next breath say we are unimportant. #obsessed

I'm obsessed yet your the one crying over renaming an airport in another city and why it's been brought up in a thread about expanding the stadium who knows.

Who cares who owns it, it's irrelevant.

Also Longbenton isn't in Newcastle it's in North Tyneside.

Divnt worry mate its all smoke and mirrors..no chance of it happening...(do you really think our penny pinching owners are suddenly going to open their wallets?)the owners are just protecting their assets development for future sale..its literally worth more with expansion permissions in place.

Could extend and do that maybe with emphasis on luxury boxes over seats but..... did we sell all commercial boxes in PL?

Yes all will be close to being sold. Clearly price versus product will dictate if you can sell out the season. North East businesses will come to entertain clients. It’s slowly coming to the uk 🇬🇧 this model. Yep you get corporate fans versus real supporters in your normal seats but it pays the bills……

We going to buy 7232 Strikers in the summer which kills two birds with 1 stone, Fills the new stand extension if or when it gets built and also no one can complain about us not having strikers :lol:

I think there's truth in this if the cost were covered by grants. Can't see anyone shelling out for it as they aren't paying for basic maintenance or supporter safety. However an extension to North Stand would mean they wouldn't need to fix the roof as there'd be a new one so kills 2 birds.

On another point, Mags trialing safe standing next season. I presume the club were asked about this By RAWA. I'd hope this isn't something else filed under Davison looking into it. I'm aware it'd cost money byt would improve safety and supporter experience. Work could also be done whilst concerts on. Over to you SAFC.

You are going on like sunderland is in the middle of nowhere. You do know away fans travelled to these England games,don't you? Didn't stop them coming to the sol. Sunderland is changing, it's class now,and is gonna be even better in a few years. Its a city of the future with a forward looking council. They definitely should be looking to get the champs league when our capacity is over 60,000. Shoot for the stars

Love the optimism and I agree Sunderland is changing and improving quite rapidly, bizarre but true in a post-Covid, post-Brexit world. I wouldn't worry about extending the stadium just yet, if we got to the PL I think we'd see regular sellouts though.

Looking into it. Unless money comes into the club to fund it I wouldn't hold your breath. Same article confirms no netting for away fans. Watch for the first court claim from an injured north stander.

55k I'd have thought assuming that a south stand upper reflects the north stand extension more or less identically.

Any extension is years away. 5-7 years at least before a decision to go ahead would even reach the bottom of the agenda notes on KLD's weekly club meetings, imo anyway.

Assuming it takes us at least another 1-2 years minimum to get back into the PL, a few years (at least) established there, we'd get 45k week in week out, selling out mags games and the odd game V a top team / important crunch game end of the season.

Whether 2/3k empty seats for two thirds of the home games in a season would be considered enough grounds to go ahead with spending money on an extension (and who knows what the state of building contractors costs will be by then - no way we'd get it done as cheap as Murray did in 2000) I'm honestly not so sure.

We'd need to be selling out a clear majority of home games for the ownership to even bother considering it to my mind.

Supporters will be offered a free hot dog and soda if the help with uninstalling the seats.

They didn’t renew the permission in 2020 either. That’s when the council uploaded the document onto their system. It was probably just a paper copy before that. The renewal was 2004 and you can’t do that anymore. They’ve done minor works to begin the permission which keeps it live.
