Toon Stories Thin On The Ground At 'Look North'!

Last updated : 31 May 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

When news is thin on the ground it takes a good producer to dig up something of interest.

Transfer speculation is what fills the newspapers during the summer, as the hacks come up with a big name (it doesn't seem to matter if the article is true or not) just to sell newspapers.

But TV has higher qualities, in that speculation is not enough.

But ... God forbid ... to ask if the Newcastle ground is spelt right is scraping the dregs out of the barrel.

St James' or St James's?

Look North: "What's in a name? Should Newcastle United's stadium be St James' Park or St James's Park? Take a journey into the world of the rules of the apostrophe and tell us what you think.

"The sign on the wall of the stadium reads St James' Park, but is that right?

"The question about whether the Toon's stadium should be written as St James' or St James's is certainly a talking point.

"BBC Look North explored some of the tricky grammatical issues and asked people on the streets of Newcastle what they thought."

Come on Geoff Brown and co ... you can do better than that SURELY?
