From Robert Crowther

Sir: I'm sure this will cause Newcastle United fans to splutter over their Sugar Puffs, but perhaps they should consider sharing grounds with Sunderland next season (Newcastle divided as Toon army aim to camp on the moor, 20 December).

Their poorer cousins and arch rivals will have a great new stadium in 1997, which, if used by Newcastle as well, would mean many more fans could watch their team play until a decision is made on their own new stadium.

Witney, Oxon
