NEWCASTLE United has announced an alternative site for the club's proposed youth academy.
The club said work will start soon at the Darsley Park sports ground, in Benton, Newcastle, and that the academy will be up and running there by September.
Earlier plans for a site in the Walker area of Newcastle had to be cancelled, due to delays in the granting of an Environment Agency licence to begin work there.
