Reluctance to move has led to the distinctive lop-sided appearance of the present-day stadium's asymmetrical stands. This has led to proposals to move at least twice in the late 1960s, and a controversial 1995 proposed move to nearby Leazes Park. Throughout its history, the desire for expansion has caused conflict with local residents and the local council. St James' Park has been the home ground of Newcastle United F.C since 1892 and has been used for football since 1880. With a seating capacity of 52,305 seats, it is the 8th largest football stadium in England.
