Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

[TrickyDisco]

drinking over the town and sitting in the south stand I’m quite giddy over this

 

[Local Lad]

Doubt I'll use it normally but might make a point of going over it for the 1st game it's open.

Is it going to be a straight path to the ground eventually?

 

[RokerRoarer]

Are they gonna add a monorail to it later on?

Don't think so but metro lines are getting extended to 4 tracks which should massively expand metro coverage around the city. This country is a mess politically atm but it's by far the best council we've had in my lifetime. Investing in culture over dying retail is a brilliant idea.

Makes is dead proud like, Sunderland's becoming a class city

We park over nearish Sunniside so will be using the Wear Bridge still but I reckon we'll use the footbridge just to check it out early on after it opens as well

 

[Butcher's Coat]

I'll still use the town bridge.
There will be plenty of room on there once this new footbridge opens

They've done well to redevelop sheepfolds etc.
Looks smart.

I'm looking forward to the space likes. I'll probs still use it the first match the new bridge opens as it'll be at it's emptiest that day. Be like going back to the 80's at Roker when we'd drive over it with barely anyone walking over it at all. Might use the footbridge a match or two later just to experience it

Really?
Got a link for this marra?

Wonder how they'll manage it with Sunderland fans either side of the metro station at St. Peters? Was easy to to keep them* to the west of us before and heard them all to the stadium

*NUFC fans

Sunderland has massive scope to be a buzzing vibrant city, it’ll take time but it’s actually happening! Not just plans and council meetings. For the 1st time ever shit is being done to improve it

 

[EchoMan]

I hope you’ll be able to cycle across it. Not on match days obviously.
