NUFC Podcast: St James Park - Why is it taking so long for a decision on the future home of Newcastle United?
True Faith NUFC PodcastShow Notes
Another week of transfer woes so we took the opportunity to revisit the frustrating lack of progress on the stadium situation. Si was again joined by Michael Martin and Stephen Hodgson who is True Faith's resident Chartered Building and Project Manager to get into it.
We had a similar podcast with Stephen and Mick in June 2024 and we caught up to ask:
What is taking so long and what if anything has changed in the last 2 years?
Why is this so difficult and what are the limiting factors preventing real life progress?
And
How and when will the decision actually be made to take this forward - what are PIF actually waiting for and why does it look like they are looking for external funding?
A great, if somewhat frustrating, discussion about a situation that is dragging on so long that its adding to the worries about the long term project at NUFC.
Great input again from Stephen and Mick to remind us its not that simple but we'd be lying to say this podcast doesn't end up raising more questions!
