The new Newcastle owners will soon be putting forward some plans to the Saudi Arabia PIF for our new training ground.
This could be an update to the current one in Benton, or they could purchase land elsewhere and build one from scratch (very much preferred).
When you look at some of the best training grounds in the Premier League, such as the one at Leicester City and the at Manchester City – they are so great compared to our current training ground at Benton.
Maybe we should build one from scratch at the Benton playing fields or if there is not enough land there maybe some buy a very large plot of land somewhere else and build there: we will need to wait and see.
Not shown in the five best training grounds in the YouTube video is the Brighton training ground – so here are some pictures of that one.
And finally, here is the YouTube video of the five best PL training grounds in England’s top league.
We have lagged way behind other clubs during the 14 arduous years under the former owner, but we now should move quickly to catch up to them – like building a new training ground and completely refurbishing St. James Park as well as the Youth Academy.
And remember, money shelled out for these three things, does not count as money invested as part of the Financial Fair Play rules.

Jessie, one scary kitten. Amazing how puglet can go into superstealth mode to steal cat kibbles. You can hear him everywhere on the wooden floors until it is steal cat kibble time. Then he is quieter than a UK Nuclear attack sub sold to Australia

If you’re on an android blower get adblock from play store. Seems to work well on chrome. Bit battery thirsty though.

Comment #7Jail, left some info on previous thread. More self help than instruction. uBlock origin is what’s recommended by security conscious computer types. Does more than just block adds and is light on processor ie less battery usage.

Comment #9Benton needs to be destined as a NUFC site to the wheelie bins and handed over to the Universities, colleges and community and redevoped as an urban sports and green Park site amongst urban sprawl.
The new Academy needs to be on large vacant plot north of the river. Just have the vision to do it. They will come.

Comment #10Listening to Viera earlier he didn’t seem that confident of beating us, has a deal been done where from now on we get a result ( win or draw) against the other 13 but not the cartel.

It sounds like you enjoyed your time in Dublin mate, its a fabulous City, and the night life is out of this world. I used to love going down on the train to watch all the Ireland matches at Landsdown road specially when big Jack was manager, they were the days, my mates and myself used the leave from the North on an early train to be in Dublin early to have a few drinks and soak up the atmosphere, and we booked in for the night and returned the next day, as a very proud Irishman i was living the dream with my love of Ireland and Newcastle, and having big geordie Jack as manager, it just doesn`t get any better Rotonda. Is that the Ireland v Brazil match you went to see in the link mate? I hope you and the family are all keeping very well my friend. HWTL

Comment #31Jones is interesting.
I was singing his praises saying he was signing of the season as results definitely seemed to coincide with his arrival.
But at the same time im curious that he has avoided blame whe he is part of the coaching set up.
There’s intriguing signs though. On matchdays the players seem to be looking to him more than Bruce. Then theres the whole thing of him seemingly being kept in the stands away from the pitch by Bruce. I will be keeping an eye closely for changes in performance. I find it almost odd that Steve’s other 2 mates have stayed on. Hope they arent flys in the ointment.
These stories of too many days off are news to me. I dont get why that isnt being reported by Sly Sports (brought to you by Man Utd). That’s shameful and alone enough to lose your job over. I dont get how we are being seen as bad for wanting Bruce out.
We may have finished 13th last season but it was a great escape. Any manager that survives a relegation battle can realistically expect their position to be scrutinised. He was given the vote of confidence but the start of the season and performances alone wouldve been enough for any owner (except Ashley) to make a change and be justified. The faux outrage in the press is a joke. Even within the context of his own managerial career Bruce’s time here was one of his worst performances.

Comment #36LGFUAD21, I’d guess the two Steve’s have been given a small payoff and new contracts and the promise of being kept on in some capacity.
Better option than being out of work with the full payoff and Bruce not taking another job to bring them to
