AMANDA STAVELEY’S POTENTIAL NEWCASTLE UNITED TRAINING GROUND LOCATION PLANS REVEALED !!!!!

[@toonreviewstato2339]

Informative and brilliant video 👌Massive respect for the research and grind that's gone into videos such as this one. Ahead of the curve Adam👏

[@antadixon]

In the short term they are upgrading The current training ground company I work for had a meeting there on Friday and are pricing for the work a few extensions to current facilities etc!! We’re told it’s just short term until they find a new place. Hope I’m on the job if we get it

[@Justlookin958]

As announced by AS herself within days of taking over the club!

[@johnnoble8063]

Thank you for keeping all of us informed about our beloved club.

[@LifeOfRiley94]

It is not a bad idea to put it the new facilities near the airport, where you're on about, think about it, when coming in to land from a midweek away game in Europe after an outstanding performance in the champions league, what a brilliant idea of going straight to the luxury 10/10 training ground complex to endure and enjoy an amazing facilitated spa recovery, and get medically reassured etc... before going round the corner to Darras Hall where your home is, now that's what a superstar performer would want to be able to have at the ready. You can just see it happening!! Peace and quiet luxurious and out the way, what more could THEY/YOU possibly need/want...? Cheers for another quality video adam mate, keep up the good work, me names Geordiee Ladd, giz a shoutout in your next video man!! cheers ! TOON TOON!!!

[@kathchandler4919]

That was our Civil Service Sports Club & was sold to nufc without consulting us , it was never suitable but I used to be able to watch them training from my office , the white buildings behind , Tyne View Park

[@PrivateEye121]

It would make perfect sense to have it near callerton park As most the players haven't got far to travel (darras hall) I do believe from 1990 to 1994 Newcastle set up training camp at that very location.

[@Justlookin958]

Didn't nufc train at benwell during that period? I was at school and can remember seeing the players from my mates back window which overlooked their training ground in benwell

[@C22RLD]

Got to be Woolsington Hall, exposure to all flights coming and going, would allow great player access to London. Everyone see's it coming and going from the region on flights. Close to Darras Hall area for players. No brainer really.

[@iancarrgeordiegamer]

100% will not happen at Woolsiington, residents around the area will object to any developments in the area. The Club will look for an area where both a new stadium and training facility can be built, i can see Kingston Park being demolished and new stadium built on its site with the University sports facility adjacent to it being developed into training centre

[@rhyscharlton8132]

Cheers Adam 🍻 but I wouldn't give Hall another penny the squimbag he just about killed our club and sold us to the DEVIL

[@wesfullarton6695]

I’ve always thought up by the Airport! as there are excellent transport links! And close to where most players live! International airport and metro system on the door step too! Good shout!

[@bobmegazinc4532]

Woolsington hall is very very hard to actually see the dimensions.....is it 92 acres adam.....ie what is it across and wide.....?...Agree with you on the location and the seller for sure but what are the actual dimensions of the land available....?...I have no doubt sir john would probably give them it tbh........but my only question I currently cant find the answer to is how wide and long is the land available...?5mile out of town is perfect.....I personally think the club will also start buying buildings near the ground where they feel expansion is possible after the current expansion......st james park can actually be extended 2 ends the issue is atm unless they buy out buildngs only 1 end is possible currently.....if they buy up the empty properties that hopefully become available the option to expand 2 ways is possible......agree on the town moor but I still think if the right offer came with added funds for the council to spend on alternative current land they may still do it....no1 has ever offered money for that land and extra to conservate another as a goodwill gesture.

[@gazzag72]

I remember when they trained beside Durham cricket ground and I met pistone when he first joined was really nice down by the river ;-)

[@harrylithgow68]

have an idea if law allows. in the old days there would be over 60,000 standing, how about building layers above this. Before I get slagged off this is just a thought, comments welcome.

[@shauntaylor6040]

Leicester City's training ground is something else.

[@steven54511]

Personally I think that the club will either buy or arranging a long term rental of a large portion of the Town Moor. There's ample space for what has been shown on the architectural drawings and have space for the Hoppings and the cattle to co-exist.

[@bensouthwell1339]

I think you are near but not quite there. My guess is west of the airport and under the flight path. All farming land upto and past the Newburn area and it will be cheaper than most areas and a blank canvass to boot. Or we simply share with Sunderland....its a thought.

[@what_im_eatin_uk]

I live right next to the Benton training ground. I once bumped into Yohan Cabaye and his girlfriend in Sainsbury's Heaton. Didn't approach him as he was already being disturbed from his shopping every few minutes

[@britishmodified]

Isn't woolsingtom way more in the middle of nowhere than Benton/Heaton? Current ground is just off the coast road, woolsingtom hall is nowhere near anywhere lol

[@chrisbarton8726]

Dwp is moving into benton Park when hmrc move into the former stack building

[@GlenjaminCalculus]

Just as a curve ball I thought Gosforth Park / race course site might be a possibility. Already owned by the Rubens and they are thought to be leading on the estates/infrastructure side of things.

[@matthewbryan7890]

Agreed. That’s the favoured site for me

[@robertthackray2554]

None of them areas you say will be chosen, my thought is it will be built where the metro radio arena site is. Lots of land there and in view of St James park. So when they train they can see where they will be playing , like Manchester City has done with the etihad.

[@britishmodified]

You don't know why there's cows in a field? Where are cows meant to be? I'm sure they don't fly 🤦

[@M82RKY]

I think somewhere around the airport seems the most likely, middle nowhere but loads of land on the greenbelt of the main city

[@matthewbryan7890]

Surely, with the links our ownership now has with Newcastle racecourse it’ll end up there?

[@MarkSlavin]

Near the airport would be ideal... it would reduce the "players want to live in laaaawndan" narative.

[@andrewgarrett5799]

the academy is in desperate need of improvement and not just the facilities

[@johnrichardson6390]

Good content Adam and a lot of thought and research into making the video,

[@DavidSmith-sb6yc]

Hi, I can assure you this is not the new location for the training ground as I know it's staying in Benton and it's being fully extended and referbed

[@Nic_SARNDEL]

Just search for drone footage of Crystal Palace's training ground and then tell me there will be enough room at Benton, which NUFC don't even own.

I say , the Reuben brothers have 10% for a reason ..

[@kathchandler4919]

Leazes Park & St James' is part of the Town Moor & covenanted ..it's NOT owned by the council , it's owned by the City Freemen , my friend is one of the generic Freemen ie travels through the family (unlike Shearer who was awarded it & won't go down through his family) the cows on the Moor are owned by the Freemen, that's why they're there !

[@jam2289]

Alright Kath love calm down

[@carl.carl.8783]

A fair chunk if the complex around the Etihad was already there from the commonwealth games, giving Man City a head start. PIF will build something bigger and better Arab businesses aways try to out do. Each other (think of sky scrapers)

[@murrayhill7450]

Interesting 🧐

[@bongeyedbill9355]

Failing that, just before caller ton parkway on the left. As in far far left. left of the motorway that runs up to the airport. Is a massive expanse of land. It's a kind of resurves now. Well, a dirt track walk more like lol. The only thing is, it used to be for mining. Don't know if the lands suitible for building on?

[@ianproud7902]

If there's no cats in Adams video then there's cows instead... Enjoy the way you showcase our area and your clear passion for all things Newcastle United! HWTL!!!!

[@simonwarren8809]

The Reuben Brothers own Gosforth Race Course. Lots of possible ground there. I reckon that’s a site in the frame.

[@stevenparker4841]

[@DavidVeitch54]

Gosforth Park is my bet including 80,000+ stadium

[@keithrichardsom1898]

Always thought Bullhead up towards Kenton near the Falcons ground plenty of space easy accessibility to roads etc it used to be the police sports ground

[@andyallom4357]

Location near to Darras Hall makes sense. There must also be quite a choice of locations across the river in Gateshead. The club could help out The Heed by allowing them to use it as a stadium., given that the plans to build their own seem to have been shelved.

[@lukenapier8012]

Cracking video mate top notch as always 👍 do you think there's any other possible sites where it could happen? Building it by woolsington Hall makes alot of sense too

[@GlenjaminCalculus]

I do also think there's more than enough land on the current site if you include the academy and nearby areas. You could build a new main building whilst using the old and there'd still be enough training space. The players rarely go much further down the patch it's on now.

[@thomasbrown2804]

Gosforth park race course area is already owned by them. Green belt land doesn’t matter when you have money

[@bongeyedbill9355]

There are playing fields already there bro, plus a lil woodland with a pond in it. I used to explore down there as a kid. That would make a top place for the training facilities, the only thing is, the woolsington residents are a bit snobby and might not like it bro!

[@ubertroopertv1557]

Having the training ground on housing estate doesn’t sound too bad, some the greatest Newcastle players learned their craft kicking a ball about the streets of housing estates.

[@darrenthorne1150]

Short term I think they will improve the current facilities as much as they can. Might be wrong but do the reubens not own part of/all Gosforth Park grounds? Plenty room there to build a complex similar to man city/St George's Park.

[@what_im_eatin_uk]

Also what about Northumberland Park as a possible location or Great Park Gosforth?

[@grahamsmith180]

That's been mentioned a very few times woolsington hall owned by sir John hall. His grand kids own it now and they are trying to turning it into a spa. That's what he told me when I was in his box against watford anyways

[@craigstorey1856]

Great insight young man. Keep up the good work 😁😁😁

Woolsington is also close to Darras Hall where many players live and even closer to the airport

[@stgeordie2638]

Have you tried to contact Sir John Hall?

[@shanajackson5044]

There are cows in the field because it is commons ground. It is controlled by Newcastle Council and the Freemen of the city, who have historical rights to graze cattle on it. I am sure the council would have turned all the town moore into a massive private housing development given half the chance, but they need permission of the freemen, which has zero chance of coming to be honest. It is all protected by law, see below--> The Town Moor has been protected by an Act of Parliament since 1774. The Act secured the Freemen’s grazing rights and there has long been a feeling of public “ownership” of the Moor. How the Town Moor is managed today is set out by the Newcastle upon Tyne Town Moor Act 1988, which updated the 1774 Act. A joint committee of the Freemen and the city council decides on the management under the terms of the 1988 Act, which says that the Moor should be maintained as an area of open space in the interests of the inhabitants of the city.

hi Adam another great video as normal , just had a look on google maps and thought if they wanted to extend the present location you could incorperate Darsley park,Whitley park and persuade Newcastle University to part with the Hockey pitches at Longbenton Sports Ground plus once the DWP moved that would give you a massive area .

[@shaunwade8059]

@@bigdog4865 they do! They also have huge ambition to match! But that doesn’t mean they will get planning permission on a site that has already been rejected for training facilities and then rejected for a private housing estate. Chris Waugh (who is a very close friend of Sir John Hall) has already said that the site is unsuitable for the Club and has been rejected on the grounds that planning permission would be highly doubtful.

I reckon it will get built at gosforth park next to the racecourse as there is lots of land and is owned by the Rueben brothers

[@shaunwade8059]

It’s green belt and a nature reserve park. So no chance of getting planning permission.

[@GBDT]

One of the problems with the Woolsington Hall site is apart from the state of the Hall buildings which are Listed Buildings, the park itself is on the registered Park and Garden national list which gives it the same protection as a listed building. NUFC would have the same problem that they had with the Leazes Park extension.
