About this deal

I just hope it’s another 30/40 years and I’m not here anymore when we do move from St James’ Park, as anyone with any sort of realism has to understand it’s going to happen sooner or later, whether we like it or not. The magic weekend is set to return to Newcastle, in April 2021, for the 2021 Season, after previously been held at Anfield for the 2019 Season and being cancelled for the 2020 season. [67]

Ibrahim Mohtaseb, Senior Vice President of Sela, said: “We wanted to create a little surprise for fans to celebrate the return of the biggest nights in European football to St James’ Park. The fans, the club and the players deserve these special moments and I hope we’ve added to what will be an unforgettable occasion for everyone who loves Newcastle United and this city." On 10 November 2011, Newcastle United announced that the stadium would officially be renamed Sports Direct Arena, as a temporary measure to "showcase the sponsorship opportunity to interested parties", whilst looking for a sponsor for possible future stadium re-branding. According to the club, the St James' Park title was dropped as not being "commercially attractive".

Dirty and grimy conditions. Examples of the neglect that St James’ Park suffered during Mike Ashley’s disastrous 14-year tenure as owner, including a dead Pigeon in the netting of the Gallowgate roof which remained for several years. Pool B, St James Park, Newcastle upon Tyne Samoa v Scotland, New Zealand v TONGA". Rugby World Cup. 10 October 2015 . Retrieved 12 October 2015.St. James’s Park is a rich mix of open grassland, reedbeds, wildflower meadows, and more than 1,200 trees. The St. James’s Park lake, covering a fifth of the park, is an oasis for much wildlife including over 40 species of water bird. Whether you’ve planned to attend one of these on your trip to London, or you live here and haven’t quite got round to going yet – combine it with a visit to St. James’s Park. By the mid-1990s Newcastle had shot up with astonishing speed to the top end of the Premier League establishing themselves as one of England’s most feared and admired sides. The feel-good factor was high, the city was exciting and had been named in the Top 10 ‘party cities’ of the world. The developments at SJP meant that the stadium was fitting of the high standing of both the club and city. The country too was experiencing something of a football renaissance and hosted Euro 96 with SJP hosting group games involving France (with the nucleus of the team that would be crowned World Champions two years later) as well as Bulgaria and Romania (both of whom had impressed in the previous 1994 World Cup reaching the Semi Finals and Quarter Finals respectively and boasting genuine superstars in Hristo Stoichkov and Georghe Hagi). I just think that as a Geordie born and bred, St James’ Park is everything as a fan. I also just can’t help but thinking we do not have any option but to move if we want be a club like Real Madrid or Milan for argument sake, with a huge stadium and fanbase. The ‘Second Boer War’ was especially bitter, and the British suffered heavy losses at the hands of their skilled opponents.

St. James’s Park has a rich royal history from the time of King Henry VIII. It’s home to so many high profile royal events. But even Kings enjoy a moment to stroll unnoticed in the crowd – King Charles II used to meet his mistress, Nell Gwynn here. St. James’s Park’s history is full of surprises and secret stories – not all of them so romantic. King Charles II took his final walk through the park, on his way to be executed. The stadium has an asymmetrical appearance from the air [6] and from some angles from ground level, due to the discrepancy in height between the sides and ends of the ground. The height difference between the Leazes/Milburn complex and the East/Gallowgate stands allows views of the city centre from many seating positions inside the ground. [53] Further expansion of the Gallowgate End could potentially produce a more balanced horseshoe arrangement of equal height stands, similar to that of Celtic Park. [54]

The park also has the highest concentration of statues, monuments and memorials by area of any of the Royal Parks. From the statue of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother – resplendent in a flamboyant plumed hat – to the simple, white marble Boy Statue. There’s always something to see here - from soldiers in scarlet tunics marching down The Mall to bright beds of flowers bursting with blooms. Don’t miss the classic London views from the lake, where you should also keep an eye out for the famous pelicans who call the park home. Did you know that pelicans have been kept at the park since 1664, when a Russian ambassador presented them to King Charles II? You can often find them perched on benches by the lake, graciously greeting visitors from around the world. c) Leazes Terrace - from its western junction with Terrace Place, northwards then eastwards, for 205 metres, As part of that Newcastle are hoping to clinch the signing of Sunderland’s England under-16 captain Chris Rigg. The 15-year-old has been likened to Jordan Henderson by insiders and could potentially leave Sunderland in the summer – although compensation would be due. The second-ever rugby league test match, and first test victory by Great Britain, was played at the ground in 1908 against the touring Australian Kangaroos side on 23 January 1909.
