Jops14 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I dont know if anyone else has ever had this problem, but its a recurring theme on my Newcastle save. Im in the 2015/2016 season and my team is now very successful, having expanded St. James' park to 59,700 seats, since around the 2012 season i have been asking for another expansion. At the end of every season since i've had the same message "Due to strong local opposition the expansion plans have bene scrapped" So roughly every season for 3 or 4 years, does anyone know if they will every cave? or will i always be using this same stadiunm due to "strong local opposition" (as if any geordies would really protest that strongly to improving newcastle's stadium, they'd just move lol). But i mean, are they really just going to oppose it every year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubey84 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 No idea ^^ The stadium expansions seem to be completely random, based on location, success of the side, finances and what year it is. There's no solution - you can only keep asking. At least you don't have the dreaded "the local council won't allow it" problem... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jops14 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 haha, maybe thats the next thing to come! I dont even need to keep asking anymore, everytime i ask i just get "the Newcastle board politely remind you they are alreayd planning an expansion". SO im guessing it will get expanded anyway. I can only guess the problem is location? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannan300188 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 They cant expand irl because of the park next to the ground, does this not come into consideration ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthulian Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 They cant expand irl because of the park next to the ground, does this not come into consideration ? It would probably have been considered for the maximum capacity the ground can be expanded to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Eventually you'll just get a new stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keroppi Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 If they oppose expansion in place, what chance do you think the fans will like the idea of moving somewhere else? :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 60,000 is the most St James' Park can be expanded to in game. In real life its the same figure but planning permission would never get granted due to the listed buildings behind the East stand (the small one the camera always face).

Jops14 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ah great so potentially im always stuck with St James Park? I mean great stadium but when you fill it every match it seems really useless... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
