Photograph of the week

Newcastle have played at St James' Park since 1905. In November the club said they planned to change the name of the ground, but only temporarily as it hoped to "showcase" the sponsorship opportunity to "interested parties".

Club owner Mike Ashley has said the new stadium will be called 'The Sports Direct Arena' named after his own company.

The St James' Park sign was removed from Newcastle United's football ground this week to make way for its new name but twice this week 'vandals' have scrawled in the space in the above photograph 'St James' Park.'
