Newcastle's stadium to be called St James' Park

Supporters were left furious last November when Newcastle renamed its 119-year ground Sports Direct Arena after the sports retail company belonging to owner Mike Ashley in a bid to showcase the potential for a new stadium sponsor.However, as part of an agreement with Wonga, the clubs new shirt sponsor, the traditional title of the stadium will be restored.Wonga, an online loan lender, will invest at least 1.5 million pounds ($2.4 million) in the clubs academy and local enterprise scheme helping teenagers find employment. Fans will also have bigger say in club initiatives, Newcastle said in a statement.Wonga has many critics, however, because it charges interest rates of more than 4,000 percent on its loans.Throughout our discussions, Wongas desire to help us invest in our young playing talent, the local community and new fan initiatives really impressed us and stood them apart from other candidates, Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias said.Virgin Money will remain as shirt sponsor of the team until the end of this season, when Wonga takes over.
