Newcastle United and their fans continue to receive positive news, marking a stark contrast to a period not long ago when the club seemed to be in decline under the management of Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce. St. James’ Park was once an unpleasant environment, with Bruce facing criticism as one of the least favored managers in recent memory.
The arrival of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Eddie Howe has transformed the fortunes of the club in just a couple of years. The stadium, which was previously witnessing discontent from the terraces, now sees packed crowds for every home game. Under Howe’s management, the team’s performances have not only justified the fans’ presence but also made attending matches a worthwhile experience.
In a surprising turn of events, Mail Sport reports that St. James’ Park is being considered as the venue for one of the final two warm-up games for the England national team ahead of Euro 2024. This prospect marks a significant shift, as the city could host an international match for the Three Lions for the first time since the Sven Goran Eriksson era. Such an event would undoubtedly provide a boost to the city at the conclusion of the current season.
