Directions to Newcastle United Academy
Follow A1M (north) until Washington Services.
At Washington services take the Tyne Tunnel road. When through the tunnel stay
on the A19 until reaching the A1058 turn off (signposted Newcastle).
Follow A1058 for approx 3 miles and under a metal railway bridge, take the
immediate exit (signposted Walker). Get into the inside lane when approaching
the bridge and then into the right hand slip road ahead of the lights.
At the end of the slip road turn right and into the left hand line to go
straight ahead. Follow this road until you pass the Henderson Hall university
halls of residence on your left hand side (clearly marked).
At the next traffic lights beyond the halls of residence turn right into
Greenlee Drive and the entrance to the Academy is approx 40 yards on your
left, follow the road in.
Post Code is NE7 7SF. Sat navvies beware! don't follow your machine's
instructions when you get to Greenlee Drive, otherwise you'll end up in
someone's garden....

Seeing the Team Train:
The Newcastle United Training Centre
aka first team training ground is at Darsley Park on the A191 Whitley
Road, (formerly the Civil Service sports ground next to Whitley Park.)
Please note that there is no public access to this site and no convenient
viewing point for spectators. Security staff have instructions not to
allow fans onto the site.
Directions for SJP:
Want a map?:
Click
here
By Metro:
Nearest station is St. James. Come out
of the station, and look behind you. Ascend by the steps in front of you
or walk around to the right towards Barrack Road for step-free access.
If travelling from the airport, alight at
Haymarket or Monument Stations and follow the crowds.
Metro
network map - service updates appear online
here
NB: Do not get on a metro at the Central Station that says St James
- it goes via the Coast and takes about an hour ! If you cannot walk, you
need to change at Monument for a metro running the short distance (one stop) to the
football ground.
(Deviating off topic, but the Metro does not run to the Metro Centre
- which is served by buses or trains).
By Rail:
Nearest station is Newcastle Central -a 15
minute walk as follows:
Direct route - Come out of the station and cross the street in front of
you, and up the alley to the left of Greggs. This takes you between The Forth and
Town Wall pubs and brings you out on Clayton Street. Cross straight
over and continue up the final section of the pedestrian alley. You are now on Westgate
Road.
To your right is a paper shop and immediately past it is Bath Lane, a paved walkway
(complete with odd-shaped ornamental metal cone) which
stretches up the hill - at the top of this you will be able to see the ground
to your right.
At this point either continue towards the ground or deviate off to the right
along Stowell Street - home of the local Chinese community and numerous fine eating
establishments.
Route via the City Centre - Come
out of the station and cross the street in front of you, turn right and then
next left up Grainger Street. After a few minutes walk you will see
a Nelson's Column type monument in the centre -
that's Grey's Monument that is.
Turn left up Blackett Street, through the 'tunnel' and straight across
the roundabout (turning right at the roundabout up Percy Street takes you
to a variety of pubs) up Gallowgate and St James' Park will be clearly
visible to your right.
Away supporters are housed at the North End of SJP (in Level 7 up an
endless series of steps),
following the direct route above brings you to the South West side of the
ground (or South East if via City Centre).
Continue to walk along the road that winds along to the ground and then walk underneath the offices/stand with the ground on your
right. The away turnstiles are past the main entrance underneath the North
Stand (aka Sir John Hall Stand). Be prepared for a canny climb though, via
numerous levels of stairs.
Away buses / coaches park immediately to the North of this point on Barrack
Road.
By Road (sat navvies input "NE1
4ST")
Given the size of the ground and
its dominant position on the Newcastle skyline, you shouldn't have any bother
spotting the damn thing from a wide area....

first team home match days over a period of one hour before kick-off to 30
minutes after full time.
more details online here
NB:
Barrack Road is never affected by these closures, despite the fact that
barriers were installed some years ago and remain extant.
Parking at the Ground:
None (multi-storey car parks at SJP aren't available for public
use on match).
Like most British cities, on-street
parking is available round the edge of the centre, but the threat of car crime
and changing parking rules is an ever-present one.
Parking Suggestions:
Near the Arena/Centre for Life, to the east of the Railway Station (limited).
Off the Westgate Road - North end and to East off St.James' Boulevard
(limited).
Past the Royal Victoria Infirmary beside the University/Exhibition Park.
At the Railway Station itself (limited).
Multi-storey car parks on Dean Street and near Haymarket bus station.
At Newcastle Civic Centre (aka Sandyford Square car park).
Park and travel in on the metro from various stations, including Four Lane Ends,
Northumberland Park (handy for Tyne Tunnel) and Callerton Parkway (near the
airport).
Park & Ride:
Service X50 from
the Metro Centre operates on first team home
match days. Further details are
available
