North Stand European Cup quote
« on: February 11, 2018, 09:02:21 PM »
I noticed this has come back, but they've got it wrong! It now reads ' Shaw, Williams prepared to adventure down the left. There's a goodball played in for Tony Morley. Oh, it must be & it is! Peter Withe!' when it should be 'Shaw, Williams prepared to venture down the left. There's a good ball played in for Tony Morley. Oh, it must be & it is! Peter Withe!'

I know it's a minor thing after such a brilliant afternoon, but it's irritating me. Anything we can do?

I noticed the ‘goodball’ thing today and thought it looked weird.

Poor effort by whoever was in charge of the new banner

No, "adventure" is correct. I pointed this out to Rob Bishop recently and he told me last week it had been changed

It is "adventure". Goodball is weird though.

Edited to add a video that confirms it

Fair enough - I had only ever heard of it being 'venture'.

It is adventure. Venture would have been grammatically correct. Must have got a little excited for some reason.

You'd expect banner manufacturers to sense-check first, wouldn't you? Or could it be that there's a join between 'good' and 'ball' so they've overlapped the two pieces, perhaps.

Adventure is also grammtically correct. Both can be used.

The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon of collective false memory. Apparently loads of people around the world remember Mandela dying in the 1980s despite the fact it didn't happen, just as many of us (including the club, it seems) recall Brian Moore saying "venture" and not "adventure".
