Newcastle United CEO Darren Eales has revealed that the club have begun a 'formal process' to expand St James' Park.

The club have been keen to expand their 52,300 seater stadium ever since their takeover back in 2021.

Demand for tickets has increased thanks to their upturn in form on the field, after finishing fourth in the Premier League last season and therefore qualifying for the Champions League.

Speaking at a supporter event at the stadium on Wednesday evening, Eales told fans of their plans to bring in 'world-leading' experts to see what is feasible, and that that they plan to give fans a say ahead of any definitive move.
