Location makes sense, lots of acreage on that site. Training ground and golf course combo? Make a bit of extra revenue on the side.

Staveley was working on possible sites when she was trying with her 1st bid, she was working with the Duke of Northumberland to buy some land off him.

The more I research it the more it makes perfect sense. Located directly next to the airport, fair enough way to keep Adam P at bay, close to where the players and staff (probably) live.

 

I imagine there will be some restrictions on the site and what can be developed? The hall itself is grade 2 listed so sure the council would need to have a say in any developments.

 

Howay the lads, get it done.

Presumably he means the land around the area rather than anything next to the Hall itself.

 

Well, I actually presume he's talking bollocks, but if he was hypothetically telling the truth...

 

Regardless there has been chatter for a long time that the area near/around the Airport was a possible location for the new training facility, it does make sense.

Wasn't there plans not too long ago to turn the hall into a luxury hotel? I think I remember seeing something online about it but not sure, will have to look more. Having that on a site could be a bonus and revenue stream. Don't think Sir John would sell any of the land without getting somebody to fix the hall as well haha.

It was suggested as a site before Little Benton, I think there’s been some houses built as well. 
 

It would make a lot of sense and SJH should let them buy the Hall as well, sure he was looking to off load it.

I don't think we'll ever see Aramco on anything other than a stadium name where we're concerned. It makes sense that they would sponsor F1 but who's going to fly into Newcastle airport and see Aramco over the training ground and think.. "hmmm, i must go and buy a few barrels of oil"

 

Tourism makes most sense, especially on our jersey and that's the ultimate sportswashing.

Apparently keeping Adam P at bay is high up on the list of requirements for the new facility.

Aye, nice little profit for Hall after the club bought Woolsington initially and he siphoned it off to Cameron Hall Development’s.

Heard that tweeted today but can’t find evidence of this.

Didn’t he buy Woolsington Hall long before he bought NUFC, owned Wynard Hall as well.

Get it bought, have a nice stately home at the entrance and the gates to nowhere at St James' sent back up for the entrance.

It’s where they were stowed before Ashley found a nice wall to put them against at SJP.
