Newcastle have had to step in and stop autograph hunting outside their training ground after one fan was nearly hit by a player.

Earlier in the day the club put out an official statement asking supporters to stop gathering outside of the training ground complex.

“To ensure the safety of all supporters, players, staff and members of the public, we are asking people to avoid gathering at our training centre entrance and surrounding roadways,” a statement said on the club’s website.

“The only entrance for players, staff, deliveries and construction vehicles to the current training centre site is a narrow, single public lane that is shared by vehicles and pedestrians.

“As the number of people gathering at the training centre increases, so too does the risk of serious injury with so many vehicles and people sharing a small space.

“As crowds gather, people are stepping into the lane and creating a risk to their own safety and to road users.
