Dr.Spaceman Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Don't know if it's just me, but I'm not a fan of letting sentiment hinder progress. If we find the perfect site for a world class training facility it shouldn't matter whether it's in North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Durham etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really no, plus you have the old Sage building now needing a new purpose/demolished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very fact that this part of North Newcastle has been approved for the construction of the massive "Newcastle Great Park" housing development, which will not be completed for about another 15 years, means that it is not 'Green Belt' protected land, even though (a long time ago) some of it was. Newcastle Great Park is a new suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne. Uniquely positioned in a rural setting, but just 3 miles from the city centre, the park is one of the most accessible locations in the Northeast. The map below shows the location of Newcastle Great Park in relation to some of the key destinations in the surrounding area, as well as the location of some of the key points on the park. You would need to get planning approval changed from residential, to whatever class a training ground would fall under. Not impossible, and (as mentioned in the past) Jamie Reuben's experience in development could prove very useful here.

You can bet a lot of home builders have already bought a lot of land keeping it in a land bank for future developments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly make Shearers’ bar all the way across under the Gallowgate, and/or new turnstile access. Long term ambition maybe to extend it outwards in anyway, towards the road.

The Prophet Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 So far this summer: Darren Eales appointed as CEO. Dan Ashworth appointed as sporting director. Sven Botman, Nick Pope and Matt Targett brought in. Isaac Hayden, Freddie Woodman, Jeff Hendrick and Ciaran Clark shipped out. Additions made to the academy and womens team. Refurbishments made to the stadium. Refurbishments made to the training ground. Sponsorship with Fun88 terminated. New sponsorship with Noon. This lot don't fuck about do they?

Pata Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) I honestly think most people are expecting too much in a too short time frame. PL is really tough right now in the top half, 'big six' followed by clubs like Leicester, Villa, West Ham and Wolves. Looking at the squad values (https://www.transfermarkt.com/premier-league/marktwerteverein/wettbewerb/GB1) we are only ~50 million euros ahead of Palace and Southampton who are at the bottom if we exclude the promoted teams. We are massively behind Leicester and Villa who are 7th and 8th. We need to be the best of the rest just to qualify for the Conference League. To get to CL we need to be ahead of everyone else and three big six teams who are all constantly spending crazy amounts of money too. CL football being such a pull for the elite players makes it hard for us to sign the same caliber of players that teams who are/have been in the CL keep signing. Then there's the FFP. We had a great run to end the season but I don't see it sustainable no matter how good Howe is. In the long run you need to have a squad that is relatively close with the teams you are competing with. I'm extremely happy with our new owners and basically everything they've done so far but I just don't see getting to the CL even in 4-5 years a very likely outcome. The damage Ashley did to us will take years and years to overcome. It's nice to have the club back but hope our fans can keep their expectations realistic and can enjoy that we are trying again.
