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.
