A snow covered St James Park in February 1978.
Apart from the addition of floodlight towers, St James Park had remained largely unaltered since the ground was redeveloped back in 1905. The main West Stand, with its bird s-eye press-box, remained a feature of the stadium as pictured (right) on this winters scene. Much needed modernization was soon to become a bitter political football dispute between club and landlord, the City Council

EDITORS COMMENTS
A nostalgic glimpse into the past, this print captures a serene winter scene at St James Park in February 1978. The park is transformed into a magical wonderland, blanketed with a thick layer of glistening snow. Despite the passage of time, the stadium remains remarkably unchanged since its redevelopment in 1905, with only the addition of floodlight towers altering its appearance. The focal point of this snapshot is the iconic West Stand, proudly standing tall amidst the wintry landscape. Its distinctive bird's-eye press-box serves as a reminder of bygone eras when journalists eagerly reported on thrilling football matches from this vantage point. However, behind this picturesque facade lies an impending storm. The photograph alludes to an imminent clash between Newcastle United Football Club and their landlord, the City Council. As modernization becomes increasingly necessary for both safety and comfort reasons, bitter disputes over responsibility and funding loom large on the horizon. This image not only transports us back to a snowy day in 1978 but also hints at deeper tensions simmering beneath the surface. It encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and anticipation for future battles that would shape St James Park's destiny.
