Since October, there has been a constant sense of excitement in and around St James’ Park, and with the new refurbishments inside the stadium, the owners are duly delivering on their promise to bring this club back from the dead.
Photos of some redecorations have recently emerged on social media, with new banners being hung up within the concourse and a lick of black and white paint on the walls – simple but classy touches from those at the top.

While it may seem relatively insignificant to other clubs, it’s enough to lift the mood of our fanbase as a whole after years of neglect and allows us to finally be excited for the future.
