We require a brand-new stadium for Newcastle United. I have said this many times.
It needs to have a capacity that will allow youngsters in, as they are the lifeblood of any football club.
It also needs to be financially accessible to the working class folk who have stood loyally by the club, as well as those who walked away when Mike Ashley ran the club as an advertisement vehicle for his sports ware empire.
Spurs were given permission to create a new training site last month, amid opposition from campaigners who said it would ruin a park. According to The Guardian, unique wildlife species will be impacted.
The football club intends to fence off a portion of Whitewebbs Park in Enfield, north London, and construct a new women’s academy with 11 pitches and a new clubhouse. ‘Of the park leased and maintained by Spurs, 66% will be open to the public, but 18 hectares will be gated off for new pitches and infrastructure for the women’s football academy.’
Tottenham will only be using a portion of the site, so Enfield Council is supporting the proposals and investing to significantly improve the two thirds of the park that will remain accessible to the public. We now return to St. James’ Park. According to a recent exclusive from The Telegraph, the Newcastle United hierarchy has selected a preferred option for a brand-new stadium. The stadium would be built on land that would begin on a portion of the current Leazes End, then extend diagonally to cover the club’s multi-story parking structure, and finally use a portion of Leazes Park. Barrack Road would remain unaffected, and according to exclusive reports, Newcastle United will finance the remaining portion of the project.
