The Shields Gazette journalist added that it is ‘welcome news‘ for the St. James’ Park faithful, and claimed that Darsley Park was in ‘dire need‘ of an upgrade.
The Verdict: Exciting
The plans to upgrade the training ground are exciting ones indeed, and show the ambition from the new owners to take the North East club to the next level.
In truth, this should have come much sooner, with former owner Mike Ashley seemingly neglecting the thought of bettering the facilities, but now the plans are finally in place.
Nonetheless, the improvements should also attract new players to the Toon, as they look to move to the next stage of their long-term project.
