Return to Redheugh very unlikely

Date: Tuesday 29th April 2008, by Tynesider

This week saw local journalist Neil Farrington talking about the general decline of the town in his Sunday Sun column. He went on to mention Gateshead Council being firmly behind the football clubs bid to move back to Redheugh Park:

The same goes for the Rocket tower block a couple of miles westwards along the Tyne, long since lying empty and forlorn. I’m not knocking Gateshead Council. Not when the International Stadium – although showing its age – remains an athletics’ Mecca. And when they seem firmly behind Gateshead FC’s plans to move back to their old Redheugh Park haunt, itself only a wind-assisted goal kick away from The Rocket. But what the North East, let alone Gateshead, needs is a far wider variety of sports and leisure facilities.

 

We're not knocking Neil Farrington, but at the time we thought the relevant to us portion had little basis in fact (most likely putting two and two together). Since then it has been confirmed by Chairman Graham Wood that the club will not be moving back to Redheugh Park.

So with the Redheugh Park location off the table, it hints at the club being close to acquiring their's and the majority of the fan's number one target location, close to the town centre.
