ST James' Park is the home of The Premier League team of Newcastle United FC. The land, at Castle Leazes, was originally played on by Newcastle Rangers in September 1880. They named the site ST James' Park. By 1892 after abandoning the site and then returning the ground had an enclosed area with wooden fencing and a roped off pitch. In 1893 as Newcastle East end merged with West End, Newcastle United FC was adopted as the name of the club with ST James' Park as their ground. Work started to be done on the ground and stands in the east and south sides of the grounds. The West side of the ground had seating. By 1905 crowds were often seen ... Read the complete review

St James' Park is the home to Newcastle United FC. The stadium seats 52,387 one of the largest in England. It underwent its latest expansion from 1998-2000. The ground has one of the more distinctive shapes in football with two massive stands, the Milburn and Sir John Hall stands. These are complemented by the two smaller stands, the East stand and the Gallowgate. It is beautiful stadium. The ground is right in the centre of Newcastle which makes it one of the most convenient in the country. It has plenty of surrounding pubs to have a pre or post match drink. This means that there is plenty of car parking space if you are coming into the game that way or it ... Read the complete review

I first visited St James` Park in 1974 with my Dad when I was only 6 years old. I fell in love with Newcastle when Malcolm McDonald scored the only goal of the game against Stoke (I think but don`t beat me if I`m wrong). Since then I have visited the ground on countless occassions, I`ve supported the team through thick and mostly thin just like every other fan. I won`t lie and say that I go to every game because I don`t. I won`t put up with sub-standard football even from my own team. The stadium, however, is anything but sub-standard. It is easily one of the best grounds in the country and one of the biggest. With a 52000+ capacity it is now the 3rd ... Read the complete review

St James PArk, home of Newcastle United and one of the biggest grounds in the country has toda been renamed The SportsDirect.com@St James Park stadium. Newcastle has finally plumbed a new low in its long and occasionally succesfull history, the club that had such great players as Jackie Milburn, Malcom McDonald, Kevin Keegan, Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley, Gazza, Alan Shearer and managed by the great Bobby robson has now lost al sense of reality. I'm not a Newcastle fan but lived in Newcastle for 2 years in the mid nineties at the time under the stewardship of KK Newcastle played some of the most exciting football seen for a generation, they should ...

As a Newcastle fan, St James Park holds a very special place in my heart. I hate to sound bias but the city of Newcastle is a thriving city and one of my favourite places to be in the world. One of the best nights out in Britain with the River Tyne running through it and all with a 52,000 seater stadium at the pinnacle of the city. I adore the location of St James Park as I have been to many a football ground that is in the middle of nowhere and in the most boring locations. The fact that St James is right at the peak of the city is not only brilliant and great to look at from a distance, but also suitable. It is a common misconception that the geordie public are deluded Read the complete review
