Planning a trip to Newcastle? start here:
Ticket Information:
No public admission until further
notice
SJP Ground Tours:
No public admission until further
notice
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. If coming from the airport, alight at
Haymarket or Monument Stations and follow the crowds.
Here's a map of the Metro
network and 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.
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 the bakers. This take you past a pub
called The Forth and brings you out on Clayton Street. Cross straight
over and continue up the final section of the alley. You are now on Westgate
Road.
To your right is a paper shop and immediately past it is 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. Either continue towards the ground or deviate right, which is
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 new offices/stand with the ground on your
right. The away turnstiles are past the main entrance and 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")

Parking at the Ground:
None, save for a couple of pay and display ones next to the Metro station and
Strawberry pub.
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/Life Centre, 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 space and expensive).
Multi-storey car parks on Dean Street and near Haymarket bus station.
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:
Not currently operating
Food & Drink:
Frankly if you require directions to either in this town, then you shouldn't
be out on your own....
