Graeme Cansdale, who is a member of the Mike Ashley Out campaign, bought the brick for his father 11 years ago.He said he reclaimed the brick in protest at the name change from St James' Park to Sports Direct Stadium.Graeme Cansdale: "For those who are worried about health and safety we did replace it with the same sized brick.
"Eleven years ago I bought what was called a heritage stone that was sold by the club, Newcastle United, to, you know, be part of the fabric of St James' Park."Now, almost a week after Mike Ashley decided to annul the name of St James' Park, and ignore 119 years of history, I decided to safeguard my part of St James' Park by chiselling my brick up."I've actually reclaimed my own property. It has a certificate of ownership."Now that St James' Park no longer exists I think I've every right to protect my property."Mr Cansdale said he would not return the brick while owner Mike Ashley remained at the club.
