SoL To Undergo Multi-Million-Pound Investment Programme

I think you are missing the point.
Newcastle are about to announce either a rebuild of their stadium, or a new stadium.
They are going to spend at least £2bn on it. It was all in various articles last week.

If they do that, then they will make sure it can host other events. In the article they even claim to go for more events, and even want to try and get the NFL there.
They will go all out on it, they won’t be held back either because stadium builds are not part of FFP.

When that stadium is built, do you honestly think the big acts will be coming to the SOL as it is now?
In previous years they didn’t care about additional income, so the SOL pretty much had a free run at concerts. In the summer they put their eggs in the basket for the England games over concerts. The SOL won’t have that advantage in future. Talking about England games, the SOL has already missed on hosting games at the next Euro’s because of Newcastle.

If the club want to compete in future for events, then they need to either dramatically improve the SOL, or face just getting whatever Newcastle doesn’t pick up.

Could you see us building a new stadium in the future?
 
My post is going to be mainly tongue in cheek. Saw various states of 5G, 4G and H, pretty much unusable throughout but was more interested in what was happening on the pitch.

Looked like the outer perimeter in front of the stands has been re sealed.

Rupert Murdoch must have put in a complaint when the Sky Championship banner was shoved back onto the sidelines. Sunderland had the ball in Wednesday's half for a good two minutes and they tactically re-pinned the banner off camera and quickly :)

On a sour note. We got in with 30 seconds to spare (fine) but several queueing in front were turned away and told to go to the ticket office. One lass was asking for help with directions for it now the club shop has taken its place. Wonder how many were locked out.
