The Fish 8986 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 United Announce New Training Ground PlansNewcastle 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.

OTF 6134 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It will be named the Yohan Cabaye Centre for Excellence in honour of the primary stream of income used for its development. Seriously though, this is good, however in the scheme of things it's difficult to not be overly critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3442 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Seriously though, this is good, however in the scheme of things it's difficult to not be overly critical. Agreed. It could even replace the crossing line as the primary excuse for not investing in upcoming transfer windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5900 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I thought we already had one of the best training grounds in the country? I can't quite fathom why Ashley would want to drop millions on this, unless it's just getting added to our loan from him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26749 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Aye, those were Joe's exact words. He also said....... 'Whoever neglects learning in his youth loses the Past, and is dead to the Future.' - Joseph Kinnear or Euripides (480 - 406 BC), Greek playwright 'Who does not know that the first law of historical writing is the truth'. - Joseph Kinnear or Cicero “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Joseph Kinnear or Mahatma Gandhi 'Veni, vidi, vici' Joseph Kinnear or Gaius Julius Caesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8986 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Tiote and Cisse will have those windows out within minutes. Depends what they were actually aiming at. If it's the windows, they'll outlast Shola. Edited December 1, 2013 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 In Tiote's case, it depends whether he's slide-tackling the window or aiming a 40 yard volley at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
