During the 1920s, the terracing at the Leazes End was covered. This was actually part of much more ambitious plans to redevelop SJP. The renowned football ground architect Archibald Leitch drew up plans for covered stands on all four sides. The plans were shelved due to disagreements between the club, council and local residents. Had the project gone ahead, SJP would have born a strong resemblance to the Leitch-designed Goodison Park.

Well when I say new stadium, I mean a new Newcastle United Football Club Town / City, a place where everything is Newcastle United. A complex with everything we need to expand and move forward, somewhere we are not restricted by space or outside influences. A place where if a decision has been made for the good of the club, we can just do it, rather than have to go through all of this planning and debate with various parties. Lunch at our stylishly contemporary café, sip a drink by the lakeside, or take tea in the historic lodge of the keeper of the King’s birds.

In 2005 the Gallowgate was redeveloped, with a new bar being built beneath the upper tier of the Gallowgate End, named " Shearer's'" after Newcastle player Alan Shearer. During excavation underneath the stand during building work, the builders uncovered the original steps of the old Gallowgate End stand, which had simply been covered up when the stadium was fully renovated in 1993.

Following discussion between the directors of the two clubs, East End agreed to take over the lease from the now defunct West End, and played their first home match at St James’ on 3rd September 1892 before adopting their new name of Newcastle United following a public meeting that December.

[3] This has led to proposals to move at least twice in the late 1960s, [4] [5] and a controversial 1995 proposed move to nearby Leazes Park. Reluctance to move has led to the distinctive lop-sided appearance of the present-day stadium's asymmetrical stands.
