In 1892, West End folded due to financial difficulties caused by a failed attempt to emulate their East End rivals’ share issue. Of the two rivals, East End were regarded as having the better team and finances, whilst with the location of St James’ Park on the western edge of the city centre, it was generally felt that West End’s ground was a more convenient location. 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. On 30 and 31 May 2015, [63] the stadium held the Super League Magic Weekend. St James' Park was chosen to host the event after the City of Manchester Stadium, which had hosted the event annually since 2012, became unavailable.

The fans, the club and the players deserve these special moments and I hope we’ve added to what will be an unforgettable occasion for everyone who loves Newcastle United and this city."Following the takeover of Newcastle United, the new ownership would remove the Sports Direct sponsorship all over the stadium with co owner Amanda Staveley claiming she was "looking forward" to removing the Sports Direct branding to get new sponsors with the signs being removed on 6 December. [41] [42] With the removal of the sponsor in the stadium former owner Mike Ashley would take legal action against Staveley and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi after Ashley alleged that both Staveley and Ghodoussi breached their agreement to continue to sponsor the stadium until the end of the 2021–22 season.

At the time of its founding, the Northern League was only the second league in existence after the creation of the Football League a year earlier. It was of a high standard and consisted of professional clubs. West End’s involvement in the Northern League saw regular and more high-profile fixtures take place at St James’. As a result, the club constructed a small stand and a press box, to the annoyance of the affluent residents of Leazes Terrace who began to oppose Football being played at St James’ and unsuccessfully lobbied the council to ban it. On 10 November 2011, Newcastle United announced that the stadium would officially be renamed Sports Direct Arena, as a temporary measure to "showcase the sponsorship opportunity to interested parties", whilst looking for a sponsor for possible future stadium re-branding. According to the club, the St James' Park title was dropped as not being "commercially attractive". [36]

Having appointed Kevin Keegan as manager in February 1992, the club rallied and victories over Portsmouth and Leicester in the final two games of the 1991/92 season securing NUFC’s second tier status, Hall was not only able to clear NUFC’s debts but also inject much needed cash both on and off the pitch. As the club recruited players that would help propel them to promotion to the Premier League as champions in 1992/93, work was also taking place to ensure the SJP would be one of the best stadiums once they returned. The final months of the season saw the new Leazes Stand begin to take shape. The vast empty space left as a result of the failed 1978 redevelopment meant that the terracing could continue to be used in full. The beginnings of the stand allowed for it to be used as a makeshift stage for the local band Lindisfarne to perform at the promotion party which took place in the final game of the season in which Newcastle battered Leicester 7-1. a b "St James' or St James's?".

But there's variability, It's optional whether you have s apostrophe or s apostrophe s. You can choose either and both are correct." In May 2008 BBC Look North examined the case for adding an extra 's', to denote the ground is "the park of St James".
