GATESHEAD FC LATEST NEWS

Designs are now being finialised in preparation for a planning submission for Gateshead FCs eagerly awaited new ground.

The proposed new state-of-the-art stadium on a derelict site, formerly North Durham Cricket & Rugby Club, opposite Gateshead Civic Centre, is planned to a high specification which will enhance the surrounding area and easily satisfy the criteria required for Football League status.

Facilities at the stadium will include reception and club offices, dressing rooms, a medical room, press and spectator facilities. There will also be executive suites and boxes and multi-functional space for match day hospitality.

The Football Association is most impressed with the proposed new stadium which will form part of the 2018/22 Newcastle/ Gateshead World Cup bid.

It is envisaged that the venue would be utilised to accommodate open training sessions for teams from participating countries.

Chairman Graham Wood said "These are exciting times for Gateshead Football Club. The new stadium will be a great addition to the town and give the club a real identity amongst the community."
