It has now been reported that the Newcastle United owners are looking at an alternative city centre site for a brand new Newcastle United stadium.<\/p>\n

This news coming via an \u2018Exclusive\u2019 from The Mail.<\/p>\n

The report says that Leazes Park remains under consideration for the site if the brand new much increased capacity Newcastle United stadium.<\/p>\n

However, the Newcastle United owners keeping their options open.<\/p>\n

The Mail report that an alternative site be at Hunters Moor (north of Leazes Park) or nearby Nuns Moor Park.<\/p>\n

Whilst The Mail\u2019s<\/a> Craig Hope adds that: \u2018North East mayor Kim McGuinness is also said to be keen for investment and regeneration in the Arthur\u2019s Hill area, which is only a mile from St James\u2019.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Hope says that his information is that: \u2018A senior PIF delegation are scheduled to meet with the club\u2019s executive team, led by CEO David Hopkinson, at Matfen Hall later this month. Stadium plans will be at the top of the agenda during the key summit and progress is expected over whether a new home or a renovation of St James\u2019 Park is the ownership\u2019s preferred direction of travel.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s announcement by the club of the implementation of a Newcastle United season ticket waiting list<\/a>, brought news that 250 season tickets will be assigned to members this summer.<\/p>\n

For the waiting list to have any real meaning, that will only come when there is a far bigger Newcastle United stadium capacity.<\/p>\n

The man from The Mail adding that ahead of the meeting with the Newcastle United owners<\/a> regarding NUFC stadium plans, the NUFC CEO David Hopkinson<\/a> has said: \u2018My job is to develop true optionality. That is why this process takes so long. It\u2019s very easy to say, \u201cOh, just build it there\u201d. But what needs to happen for that to be possible? It\u2019s labour intensive and very expensive. There are legal, government, heritage, environment and residential considerations. You can\u2019t build somewhere just because you want to.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
