Surely Newcastle would just be better off building a new 70k stadium? The land in Newcastle is no where near as expensive as London.

Any West Ham fans know if it's possible to dig down and add seats to improve the view and attendance at the London Stadium? When you look at the view from the top of the stand it's only the same really as you'd get at the top of Wembley, just the view from the lower deck is crap.

This method was done with the Etihad. Only problem is they'd probably end up with a white elephant 85-90k seater stadium.

A land swap with the adjacent Leazes Park would make sense… build the stadium on the park and then knock St James’s Park Down and turn it into a park. They can never build a decent stadium on that site because of Leazes Terrace which is listed and right up against a whole side of the ground.

Don't think the GAA would allow it.
