Gateshead Chairman on the Radio

Date: Tuesday 30th October 2007, by Tynesider

On Monday 29th October 2007 Gateshead Chairman Graham Wood talked of his plans for the Football Club (including the New Stadium) to the local radio station NE1fm. He outlined how he'd like to take the club forward. The points of interest regarding the construction of a new stadium were:

• The club are hoping that Newcastle Reserves may possibly play there.
  The club has a clear view of the preffered location, with a fall back and third choice in place.
  Hoping to announce the location in the not too distant future. "So far as the location is concerned, I'm hoping that we should have some news on that within the next couple of weeks".
  Planning Consultants have been engaged to help with the planning application. Architects are at an advanced stage with the plans, which includes a variety of options for earning income between matches.
  The club will put the project out to tender soon.
  The stadium will likely start life with a 6,000 capacity. It will have the capability to be expanded.
  The cost of the stadium will depend on the chosen specification. £6 million will be the top spec.
  Funding for the stadium will come from a mixture of grants, sponsorship and equity capital.
  The club have been researching what the best adons to the stadium (e.g. Offices, hotel etc) would be that can generate funds in the location.
  The club are also looking to acquire other businesses that will be allied to the football club to fund it. Three or four organisations likely to be in the sports and leisure industry.
