More St James' Park and training base changes to take place as Newcastle owners invest further

St James' Park and Newcastle United's Darsley Park training centre will undergo yet more changes over the summer as the Magpies continue to invest heavily behind the scenes. The ownership have pumped significant capital into improving the matchday experience for fans, while also bringing the club's Benton training facility up to scratch after years of neglect.

Newcastle have confirmed the Leazes Sports Bar will undergo a major renovation this summer, with the new facility in its place offering a 'premium' experience for fans. The introduction of this high-end spot means supporters currently located in the Leazes End will be forced to relocate but will crucially bring additional matchday revenue into the club.

Increasing Newcastle's financial streams has been a core part of Chief Executive Officer Darren Eales' goal since arriving on Tyneside. The Magpies are hoping to expand their options when it comes to bringing in both matchday and corporate income as they catch up to the rest of the Premier League's elite.
