Newcastle’s new stadium video gives added impetus to proposed move
- Club promoting 65,000-capacity ground in Leazes Park
- Conservation status could complicate the project
Newcastle have produced a glossy promotional video of a new 65,000-capacity stadium at Leazes Park in the strongest indication yet that they are planning to leave St James’ Park, their home since 1892.
Club executives presented the chairman, Yasir al-Rumayyan, with plans for a new stadium and a redevelopment of St James’ in a meeting at Matfen Hall in Northumberland last month, but have yet to confirm their intentions.
