Eddie Howe Opposes Newcastle's Potential Move from St James' Park
Newcastle's manager calls the potential stadium relocation a 'betrayal' as the club weighs expansion versus a new venue.
- Newcastle United's Saudi-backed owners are considering whether to expand St James' Park or build a new stadium.
- Eddie Howe has expressed a strong preference for remaining at St James' Park, citing its unique city-center location.
- The proposed expansion would increase the stadium's capacity to around 65,000, with costs estimated up to £1 billion.
- Howe acknowledges the need for increased revenue but fears losing the special atmosphere of the current stadium.
- Discussions include potential development near Leazes Park, though this faces opposition due to environmental concerns.
