BeloEmre Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 http://www.nufc.co.uk/javaImages/ae/87/0,,10278~12421038,00.jpg Newcastle United Football Club have announced plans for a stunning new state-of-the-art training complex as part of a multi-million pound redevelopment of the Club's existing 35-acre training ground site. The current intention is that work will get underway in May 2015 and when complete in early 2016, the Magpies will occupy one of the finest training facilities of its kind in Europe. While existing training pitches and a modern indoor training hall will be retained, the Club's current Training Centre building will be demolished and replaced by a much larger, high-tech structure. It will accommodate newly-designed changing, training, rehabilitation, medical, leisure and catering facilities and will also introduce the latest aquatic technology to the site, with a 20-metre swimming pool, a hydrotherapy and fitness pool and specialist equipment to aid injury prevention and recovery. The new construction will also create a fitness centre double the size of the Club's existing gymnasium, as well as administrative space, a presentation suite for match analysis and a new media suite. Newcastle United director of football, Joe Kinnear, said: "This is a hugely exciting development for Newcastle United. We have one of football's great stadiums and we are delighted to now be announcing plans for a training complex which will rival any in Europe. "Top players and top teams need top training and medical facilities. Our current training ground has served the Club very well but the new complex will give us all of the ingredients that we need to continue maintaining and enhancing the performance of elite footballers. "It will also be an added attraction when we are looking to recruit players." The new training complex has been designed to fit within the Club's impressive environmental policy, building on the Magpies' achievement of becoming the world's first carbon neutral football club in 2012. The new eco-friendly building will be made from cross-laminated timber (CLT) sourced from sustainable forests and will produce its own energy from a combined heat and power (CHP) plant room. A formal planning application is to be submitted shortly before a tender process begins. For exclusive images, c.heck nufc.co.uk throughuot the day. The Club's official website, www.nufc.co.uk will continue to bring supporters exclusive updates on the project as they happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It sounds awesome, but we will have to wait and see. A month is a long time in football, a week is longer when you are a newcastle fan under Ashley and there's a lot of them between now and 2016.
