Newcastle United face a huge decision over the future of St James' Park. With demand for tickets and a pressing need to increase matchday revenue, the club are currently weighing up whether to expand the existing ground or build a new state-of-the art stadium.
Everyone has an opinion, of course, although most would want any new stadium to remain in the heart of the city centre. However, the emotion and history attached with St James' would be hard to give up, although options to increase the capacity are not straightforward.
The Magpies are not the only Premier League club who are looking to the future. Indeed, several clubs have already unveil plans for signifcant stadium work - or in some cases a new ground altogether. Everton will move into their new Bramley Moore Dock this summer, while Manchester City, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Leeds are all working on big projects.
It's a reminder that Newcastle can't - and won't - stand still when it comes to their famous old ground. Here's a look at some of the bigger schemes in progress around the Premier League.
