WEMBLEY NEXT AND PLANS FOR A NEW 65,000 SEATER STADIUM!

 Posted 'high noon bells' Friday 14th March 2025

News reaches us that NUFC plan to move to a new stadium in Leazes Park with a capacity of 65,000 (plus) and leave SJP, where futbaall haz been played since 1880---145 years ago!

Personally, it will be very sad to leave 'wor home', but at least we are just movin 'next door' a few yards away!---IF the above info iz true?

We arn't sure how far this capacity can be expanded, but lookin at the New Stadium drawings, there looks to be plenty of room on each side to expand if nessesary!

More importantleee the new stadium doesn't overlap SJP, so NUFC could play there til 'the new kid on the block' gets built!

The stadium design iz said to be similar to the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, USA, home of The Raiders American Futbaall team!

We are sure that there will be more news on this in the comin' weeks!

ALLEGIANT STADIUM*** IMAGINE THIS ON BARRACK ROAD!

MEEEENWHILE!---there's the little matter of a big game on Sunday at Wembley against The Liverbirds in the Leegue Cup final!

The Toon of course will be massive underdogs, but Livaapoool have been devastated by the penalty shootout defeat by PSG in the Champions Leegue on Tuezday and hopefully they wont be 'up for it' come Sunday afternooon!----In a competition that their fans caall 'The Mickey Mouse Cup', az its the 4th on their peckin order list to win!--While--for us--it meeenz everything to win some domestic silverware after a 70 year wait---1955, when we won the FA Cup 3-1 v Man City at Wembley!---Wor 5th FA Cup win in 5 attempts at the home of futbaall at the time!

Since then and in complete contrast, we have played in 5 cup final and lost the fcukin lot! (3 FA Cup and 2 Leegue Cup finals) 

Lets hope the lads 'torn up' this time and finally end the very lang drought!

32,000 black n white scarfs are to be placed on every seat in the NUFC end, which will be quite some sight come kick off time! (special thanx to club shirt sponsors SELA for the freebeez!)
