Just wondering how you guys feel St James' compares now to say 10 or 20 years ago in terms of atmosphere?
Obviously your owners went down the re-devolpment route instead of building brand spanking new stadium, so do you feel this help retain some of the atmosphere?
Or is it a case of the more fans in a ground the more diluted the atmosphere becomes?
I'm thinking of writing an article about new vs redeveloped stadiums in the north east and think it's interesting that you are the only major club up here that didn't knock down your spritual home and build a new ground... do you know why the club chose to go down this route? Was there ever a new stadium proposal, or has it never been muted?
