If you have not completed a field correctly, a warning will appear. The field that is not correct will be highlighted in blue and the reason will be displayed at the top of the form. The stadium has an asymmetrical appearance from the air [6] and from some angles from ground level, due to the discrepancy in height between the sides and ends of the ground. The height difference between the Leazes/Milburn complex and the East/Gallowgate stands allows views of the city centre from many seating positions inside the ground. [53] Further expansion of the Gallowgate End could potentially produce a more balanced horseshoe arrangement of equal height stands, similar to that of Celtic Park. [54]

Examples of the neglect that St James’ Park suffered during Mike Ashley’s disastrous 14-year tenure as owner, including a dead Pigeon in the netting of the Gallowgate roof which remained for several years. The 2007 redevelopment plans announced under the previous regime were put on hold following the takeover of the club and its plc holding company by owner Mike Ashley. [30] One of the first noticeable changes in the stadium in the new era was the removal of advertising mounted underneath the roofs (facing the crowd) for Shepherd Offshore and Cameron Hall Developments, companies associated with the previous regime. A large advertising sign for Sports Direct appeared on the lip of the roof of the Gallowgate, visible from the pitch. [ citation needed]

Wildlife habitats in St. James’s Park A relic from a bygone football age, by the 1980s, the old wooden ‘grandstand and pavilion’ was looking more than a little outdated and down at heel. The giant ‘Newcastle United’ lettering emblazoned along the length of the structure in an attempt to spruce it up had been added for the start of the 1971-72 season. About 20 minutes in warm weather after the sun goes down, the bats come out – you'll most likely spot them flitting over the lake as they hunt for flying insects. The pipistrelle, smallest of the British bats, has an impressive appetite for insects – most average around 3,000 mosquitos or insects a night. Wildflowers at the waters’ edge

St James' Park is spelt with James' featuring one s and an apostrophe mark, as seen on the signage of the St James' Park steps outside the entrance to the stadium, and signage inside the adjacent Metro station. The use of an apostrophe is in contrast with the name of the Metro station itself, which is signed as St James Metro station, and with the street signs [45] of the nearby St James Street [46] and St James Terrace. [47] Further, the use of one s and an apostrophe mark differs from the common convention of adding a second s to monosyllabic possessives ending in s, as is the case with the well-known public space in London: St James's Park.

As if the Sports Direct signs and the stadium renaming wasn’t bad enough, perhaps the worst crime to befall St James’ during the Ashley regime is the general neglect. Over a 14 year period, maintenance needs to be made. No care or attention was taken and standards fell. Ashley did with St James’ what he did in other areas of the club on and off the pitch. The bare minimum. Enough to function but not to develop or grow. The team, managers, the box office, the club shop, the training ground were all a mess. To both Newcastle fans and visiting clubs and supporters, St James’ Park was the physical representation of all this. Dirty, shabby, outdated, neglected. Torn displays of old players. Dull concourses with bland and expensive food and tiny TVs (with a comparatively tiny Giant Screen in stadium itself). Smelly Toilets that wouldn’t flush, broken soap dispensers (even in a preseason friendly minutes after the turnstiles opened). Even from the outside, the stadium appeared grimy. Mollet’s design included a showstopping, tree-lined canal almost half a mile long, where Charles could mingle with crowds and meet up with his mistress, Nell Gwynn.
