Adios International Stadium date pushed back

Date: Friday 30th April 2010, by Tynesider

Gateshead fans will have the pleasure of the International Stadium for a little longer than initially anticipated. Today's Evening Chronicle carries confirmation that the move in date at North Durham (start of 2011/2012 season) will be pushed back most probably towards mid-season due to the lengthy planning process.

Graham Wood told the Chronicle, "The site is right and the stadium, which will be covered on all four sides, will be a tremendous facility, but these developments often take longer than you would like.

"While it is unlikely we will be in the new stadium for the start of the 2011/ 12 campaign I am optimistic that we will be able to move in at some point during the season."

Other changes to the plans will see a reduction in capacity from 9,000 to just under 8,000 with the West Stand now becoming seated instead of standing. This leaves the stadium with the two covered standing terraces behind each goal, meaning the Heed Army will have a distinct home end.

A planning application was expected to be submitted last February, after it does go in there will then be a 16 week planning process with construction expected to take 9 months there after (subject to successful application).
