Stadium Update

Date: Monday 13th August 2007, by Tynesider

This summer has been more about getting the right players in than concentrating on the new ground, however it was good to hear a little bit of news at the end of a recent article in the Sunday Sun. The downside is that we're gonna have to be patient (I'm not too good at that).

The Tynesiders hope to match success on the field with progress off it, and the club expects to be in a new purpose-built stadium within two years.

The plan is to move from the council-owned International Stadium into a 6000 capacity stadium covered on all sides.

“Progress is being made on the proposed new stadium,” said millionaire chairman Graham Wood. “Undertakings of this scale inevitably take longer than we would like but the new ground will become reality.

“A new stadium will be built in the town and this will give us the impetus to push on to reclaim Football League status which was unjustly taken from Gateshead back in 1960.”
