Eddie Howe offers thoughts on major St James' Park change as Newcastle United owners begin to plan

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has spoken out after the club bought back the land around St James' Park four years after it was controversially sold by Mike Ashley.

Newcastle City Council gave the green light to plans to build a hotel, offices and flats on Strawberry Place after it was bought by private developers. However, Newcastle United now re-own the land after long negotiations featuring some of the Magpies' top brass.

The Magpies ownership have grand plans to create a fan zone outside the ground and will look to extend the Gallowgate End to increase the capacity of St James' Park.
