STADE NEWS
TOFFEES IDENTIFY NEW STADIUM SITE
The City Council have confirmed they will work with the club on the plans, but insist they are unable to fund the costs for the new ground.
Plans by Everton for new stadiums in the Docklands and Knowsley areas have previously fallen through.
LAND SALE SCUPPERS ST JAMES' EXPANSION
The land, currently leased to Newcastle City Council and being used as a car park, is the only feasible area around the ground to increase capacity.
The site is understood to have attracted interest for a new hotel or student flats.
CUMBRIANS HOPEFUL IN STADIUM PLANS
Previous plans to relocate to a site at Kingmoor Park in the city are subject to a major rethink by the club's Directors.
The news emerged at a fans forum, where the club revealed all parties involved have signed confidentiality agreements.
WHITE HART LANE REPLACEMENT BY 2017
The new stadium, to be built on land adjacent to their current 36,000 capacity home at White Hart Lane, is part of a landmark project and wider regeneration of the North London area.

DESTINATION Dumfries
Famous for its connection with poet Robert Burns, the town has plenty of attractions and is a fantastic base for visiting this often overlooked area of the country.
A must-see in the town is the Camera Obscura located in the Dumfries Museum, where you can observe a moving panoramic view of the town.
The Old Bridge House, the town's oldest house, is now a museum of everyday life in Dumfries.
Out of town, the Aviation Museum at Heathhall has a fine collection of aircraft, and a restored WWII airfield control tower.
Dumfries is a fine base for exploring the Solway Coast and the challenging Southern Uplands, with its superb walks and ancient woodlands.
With Queen's playing host to Rangers, Hearts and Hibs in the Championship next season, there will soon be many more football fans making the trip to this wonderful part of Scotland.

FAMOUS FOOTBALL PUBS
The Turf Wrexham
Its difficult to think of a pub which could be closer to a football ground, the new stand at the Mold Road side is shaped to include the building.
A unique feature of the Turf is a 1st floor balcony at the rear of the pub which, before the re-development of the ground overlooked the pitch.
Strangely for a stadium pub, apart from a small red and white clad area to the right of the bar, the décor is mainly contemporary with very little football memorabilia adorning the walls.
Cask Marston’s Bitter is available, together with the usual other array of keg beers and lagers, and a full food menu is also available on match days.
