St James’ was once the second-biggest club stadium in the country, behind Old Trafford, but Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, Liverpool<\/a>, West Ham United<\/a>, Arsenal<\/a>, Manchester City<\/a> and Everton<\/a> have all since leapfrogged Newcastle<\/a>‘s 52,335-seater ground in terms of capacity.<\/p>\n

In that time, a huge revenue gap has opened up between the established order and Newcastle<\/a>, with Manchester United<\/a> generating \u00a387m more in match-day income and \u00a3219.3m more in commercial income in 2023-24.<\/p>\n

Newcastle<\/a>‘s training ground has been modernised in recent years, including hydrotherapy and plunge pools, a new canteen, a players’ lounge and bigger dressing rooms – but it remains some way off the best in the country.<\/p>\n

Howe was keen to stress that the “ambition is there from everyone to make that happen”.<\/p>\n

But the Newcastle<\/a> head coach said there needs to be a “bit of patience” with the club’s infrastructure plans to “make sure it’s the right solution for everybody”.<\/p>\n

He added: “If there is extra time taken to make the right decisions so the stadium project is correct, and it’s the right one for Newcastle<\/a> for how ever many years the club are there, then take the extra time.<\/p>\n

“It’s the same with the training ground. You need the right site and designs. I would rather it was correct than rushed.<\/p>\n

“I know that there’s a 99.9% chance that I’m not going to see either in my position, but I’m still passionate about making sure it’s there for the future generations of Newcastle<\/a>, whether that’s supporters or players.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St James’ was once the second-biggest club stadium in the country, behind Old Trafford, but Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-210964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
