There have been hints that Newcastle United fans could finally get some answers on what the club plans to do regarding St James' Park by the end of this month.
The club have postponed announcements several times in the last year, and the last hinted at announcement date "near the end of the season" has well and truly passed.
Bits of information that have leaked out do suggest that the club are gearing up to announce that they are going to opt to build a brand new stadium on the grounds of Leazes Park behind the current stadium.
It's a course of action that will upset a large portion of fans who wanted to remain at St James' Park, but there was no way the club could please everybody, and they have to do what they believe is right for the future of the club.
Newcastle's 15% owner, The Reuben Brothers, has posted on Instagram regarding their involvement with Newcastle United and their pride regarding their part in shaping the club's future.
“Newcastle United is a symbol of resilience, passion and community
“Reuben Brothers is proud to stand alongside this historic institution as it writes its next chapter, building on legacy, driving ambition, and uniting generations of supporters.
“Together, we honour the past and shape the future of this beautiful game called football.”
To many people, that post reads like a super-generic business-type of social media post, which contains a lot of words without saying anything at all.
Meanwhile, to some Newcastle fans, the words 'next chapter' mean that Newcastle are set to move to a new stadium.
I'm not sure how that leap is being made by so many, but The Reuben Brothers along with the PIF are the custodians of the club which is very much in transition as it seeks to become a constant contender for honours, that, at least to us, is what we believe the 'next chapter' is referring to.
We will get some information on the new stadium at some point, but as far as we're concerned, this certainly wasn't a hint.
