Doc Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 "It's optional whether you have s apostrophe or s apostrophe s. You can choose either and both are correct." Don't think that's the case with Leazes/Leazers though mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a general lack of clarity on that tbf. Though if it is meant to be the possessive then it definitely should be pronounced ‘Sint Jameziz’, regardless of whether or not there is an ‘ or an ‘s. If only English had a genitive form … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only English had a genitive form … Unless there were two people named James, whom both happened upon the park, and whom both happened to be saints, and the park was named after both of these beatific characters, then the correct written form is surely St.James's Park?

number37 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Yeah, the absolute correct written form is St. James's Park but St. James' Park is acceptable and you'd pronounce the 's anyway whether it's written or not. It's about possession. Exeter City's ground is just named after St. James (with no possession) so for them it's St. James Park. It's just a little confusing because James has an s on the end. If a stadium was named after a St. John then it'd be St. John Stadium or belonging to him would be St. John's Stadium. Belonging to many St. Johns would be St. Johns's Stadium (or St. Johns' Stadium but pronounced the same). Named after many St Johns would be your simple St. Johns Stadium. Of course there's no such thing in the entire written English language as a plural apostrophe despite what's often written and doesn't annoy me at all. Not even one bit. I don't even know why you mentioned it. Now if you don't mind I'd better deal with all these beautiful women who've suddenly appeared out of nowhere at my door. I was all set for a much quieter Sunday evening. Edited October 15, 2023 by number37 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I used to think it was Leazers too. The way it's pronounced in English English to me sounds more likely there'd be an r, since we wouldn't pronounce the r. Leazes seems a bit awkward. Should change it after the renovation.

Whitley mag Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Wonder if instead of the usual stadium expansion that we get in the U.K. such as the new Anfield road end, we might do something like Real Madrid and take all the roofs off every stand and totally reconfigure the seating layout. https://x.com/JADanielsDesign/status/1712139455966941371?s=20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Just now, madras said: Philistine. It’s a dirty rotten pub that hasn’t seen a duster in decades that wouldn’t get so much as a look in for customers if it wasn’t located where it is. The owner is an absolute dick and a constant liar as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
