Karen Kilgour is a member of Newcastle United's Fan Advisory Board (FAB), a group created to facilitate better dialogue between the club and its supporters. The FAB was launched in November 2023 as part of Newcastle's broader Fan Engagement Plan. It consists of nine members, representing various fan demographics and groups. Kilgour serves on this board alongside others to address non-sporting issues such as ticketing, stadium facilities, and fan engagement. The group meets three times per season to discuss these matters directly with club officials, including CEO Darren Eales. Kilgour, who also holds a political role as a Newcastle City Councillor, brings a long history of fan advocacy to the board.
Yes, the Newcastle United Fan Advisory Board (FAB) has been actively involved in discussions about the development of St. James' Park. During recent FAB meetings, Chief Operating Officer Brad Miller provided updates on the ongoing feasibility study concerning the stadium's future. The study, which is now in its second phase, involves a detailed analysis of potential risks and opportunities related to redeveloping the existing stadium or building a new one. A final decision on the project is expected in early 2025. The FAB members have been given insights into these plans and have raised important questions about the project, which the club is considering as part of the decision-making process. Newcastle United is carefully balancing the need to improve fan experience and generate revenue with the challenges posed by the stadium’s location and potential costs.
The current leader of Newcastle City Council is Karen Kilgour, who made history as the first female to hold the position. She was appointed in October 2024, succeeding Nick Kemp after his resignation. Karen Kilgour has been a councillor since 2014, representing West Fenham, and previously served as deputy leader of the council. Her leadership focuses on uniting the city and addressing key issues like poverty and cost of living challenges.
There does not appear to be a direct, formal connection between Urban Green Newcastle and Newcastle United Football Club. Urban Green Newcastle is primarily focused on managing parks and green spaces across the city, while Newcastle United is a Premier League football club. However, both entities play vital roles in Newcastle's community life, with the football club contributing to the city’s cultural and sporting pride, and Urban Green Newcastle focusing on environmental sustainability and improving public spaces for the city's residents. That said, it is possible that collaborations or community projects between the two organizations might exist in the future, as both institutions are highly involved in the city's development and community well-being. If you are referring to a specific event or partnership, could you clarify the context?
So when Karen said she has had no contact and discussions of a formal nature as head of the city council she is correct but discussions are ongoing in her role on FAB.
Talks probably have been held but the Council is on a NDA and can’t say anything till Newcastle United release a statement the hints I got from Karen is she wants a state of the Art Stadium staying within the city centre if it’s a new stadium it will be in Leazes Park rebuilding could bring multiple issues and drop in revenue
Demolition of the ald, wonky, not fit for purpose St James’s + the car park and ask the Council if we can extend a little bit into Leazes Park so we can completely rebuild on current site with different angles and moving it slightly will alleviate the Leazes Terrace problem and East Stand problem then PIF can build a state of the art,ultra modern 70,000 seater with opportunity in future to increase. Yes the problem would be where do we play for 2 maybe 3 seasons? Pop up temporary stadium on Town Moor? Gateshead Stadium with an increase in capacity or Kingston Park? 🎉
@@NUFCTalkTV But he hasn’t acted as a spoiled kid towards his current employer. And they couldn’t agree on a price last window, so maybe they can’t in the next. I hope they can of course, but his is not going to be cheap.
@@NUFCTalkTV Sorry the autocorrect was going nots. I was trying to write: Please turn down the volume of the intro part. It’s music is so loud, can even hurt when you have earbuds on, we have to turn the volume down, but after that we can’t hear you when to start talking and have to turn it back up. A general “mistake” many RUclipsrs make.

Cheers mate, yes we have brought this up before on the live shows, the fake stadium was brought up and could be an option!
“Guehi free soon”. In January he still has 1 1/2 years left.
He can leave if they agree on a price mate, contracts don't mean much anymore if the player wants to leave.
