Newcastle boss Eddie Howe admits it would be his 'ideal' scenario for the Magpies to STAY at 'iconic' St James' Park... as the club canvasses opinions from fans over potential plans to build a new stadium

Eddie Howe wants Newcastle United to remain at St James’ Park, after the club canvassed opinion among supporters about building a new stadium.

Fans were sent a questionnaire on Monday and it has been the talk of Tyneside ever since, especially given the subject of stadium expansion and a ‘hypothetical’ new ground.

St James’ currently has a capacity of 52,305 and is selling out for every match. The owners have commissioned a feasibility study into increasing the number of seats on the current site, but that is not easy because of space and engineering challenges.
