Club official update – Newcastle United training ground plans | OneFootball

An official club release regarding the Newcastle United training ground.

Tuesday afternoon seeing an announcement that the existing training facility is to be extended.

Planning permission applied for and work to be completed by summer 2026 if everything goes to plan.

At the same time the club confirming that a brand new state of the art Newcastle United training ground on an alternative site, is still the longer-term plan.

Like the rest of you, what I am still desperate to hear is what the plan is going to be in terms of delivering a far bigger capacity first team stadium…

Newcastle United training ground official update – 15 April 2025:

‘We’ve submitted plans to extend our current first team Training Centre as work to identify a new site for a future training facility continues.

The redevelopment proposals look to build upon the significant work we’ve carried out at our Darsley Park site in recent years, helping to deliver elite performance facilities for our players and staff.

Planning permission has been submitted for 1,350 square metres of necessary new-build accommodation, focusing on new office and meeting space and additional support facilities.

In turn, the existing building will be reconfigured to provide further treatment spaces and staff support areas, alongside improved front of house facilities and an enlarged players’ lounge.

The site is currently occupied by 140 personnel. Staff and visitor numbers to the site will remain unchanged following the extension.

The proposal improves space planning, and provides enhanced facilities by enabling the removal of low quality temporary buildings.

The site area includes revised car parking to the north and west perimeter of the extension, with pedestrian access into the office, media and storage spaces.

Accessible parking spaces have been provided along the north of the extension in close proximity to the main entrance.

Photovoltaics (PV) have been combined on the roof of the new extension and areas of existing roof to offset electrical loads on the site.
