Does anyone know if there will be a lift to enable disabled access (walking ambulant not wheelchair) to the new stand?
or will those that require a lift need to go through colin bell ?

There is a lift to all levels in the new stand.

Even if they do start it won't be ready for 2 seasons, they would still be able to hold the magic weekend next summer..

The magic weekend will probably be at Newcastle again this year regardless. The nature of the event - attracting visitors from a fair distance - means the event has more appeal if the location is changed every couple of years.

Most RL fans I spoke to in Newcastle preferred the venue to the Etihad. The Magic Weekends at Coty were good but the security on entry to the ground was heavy handed with people being prevented from taking soft drinks and food into the ground!

But apparently there aren't any disabled spaces in the new tier anyway.

Cheers...my cousin needs a lift and i wasnt sure if he needed to go thru colin bell like last season or could go directly into the stand

I was at the ground this morning - more expense in the shop....

City Square is going to be decimated by any North Stand works - I have no idea how they're going to manage construction activities without some significant juggling of spectator pre and post-game facilities

They could maybe move it to the corner of the North and East stand / car park area, or failing that, just close it down for a year. The think the club shop might be able to survive for a decent period of time whilst construction is ongoing, although they'd probably want to minimise pedestrians, even if outside any cordoned area.

Off topic.

West Ham's new ground, the Oylmpic stadium.

Said I wouldn't go to West Ham again, but this is a must do.

I actually think it would look immense if they kept the athletics track on match day but instead they will be using retractable seating.

If they fill it the atmosphere will be immense.

Aesthetically, it looks disgusting.
