Disastrous News: Newcastle stadium St James’ Park burnt down to ashes as a result of….

The Premier League outfit has completed a six-month feasibility study into what can be done to modernise their famous home, with architects reportedly presenting a range of options to increase the capacity from 52,350 to more than 60,000, as well as modernise facilities inside the venue.

There is still plenty to iron out before the multimillion-pound redevelopment can get underway, including Newcastle purportedly wishing to discuss the length of their leasehold on St James’ Park. The club’s lease still has 70 years to run but the Magpies want to extend it before committing to renovating the stadium.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns 80 per cent of Newcastle, will bankroll the project if it gets the go-ahead. The idea is reportedly to create a large, modern, multi-purpose venue that, as well as giving the club a world-class stadium to play in, can also be used to host concerts and other sporting events.
