It may not be in a town. But, St James' is in the city centre. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't say I'm goin into City for a night out. I say I'm goin into Town (or toon, as it's known in Newcastle). Come to think of it, Glasweigans call Glasgow 'Toon' as well.

Being a Geordie, it was always said "aam gannin inta toon.
It just stuck. You have the town moor, the town hall, but anyway, Newcastle does have St.Nicholas as a catherdral, so you are right.
It is technically then the City of Newcastle, but still lovingly known as the toon.

Because the football ground St James Park is in the centre of town?

Because we do! I agree with Sparky, you go into town (toon) for shopping or drinking, or whatever.
