Newcastle United have made a significant move as the club looks to construct a bigger stadium, purchasing a sizeable portion of the Grade 1 listed Leazes Terrace next to St James' Park, including all areas facing the ground. A final decision is yet to be made on whether Newcastle build a new stadium or expand their current home, but the club acknowledges this deal provides "greater flexibility". Newcastle have made it clear they are committed to the preservation of a building with "historic and architectural significance", which cannot be demolished.
