Stadium Signage

[exigo]

Might get there early Saturday and have a walk round the ground.

Was thinking the same. Even coming up on the 10:23 out of Euston for exactly that reason.

Is this missing an apostrophe ?

[KRS]

May be an apostrophe after the “s”?

U.F.O seen over Villa Park. Took these seconds apart yesterday. I have no idea what the Orange blob is.

Looks like the Trump blimp to me. Also is the i missing in pride?

The 'i' is represented by the claw marks.

Quavers?

I thought the signage was awesome and well done to whoever thought of the concept. Just an OCD niggle from me, on the inside of the ground can the DE Stand be finished- the top balcony frontage finishes about 60% along- perhaps it is to stop a restricted view for the away supporters but for years it has looked incomplete and unfinished.

It is very common for companies and brand names to remove apostrophes from brand names*. It is also common for us to add a possessive ('s) that doesn't exist.** This annoys the purists but you can't tell a company how to write its name. I'd say it's not "McGregor's" suite/bar/function room, it's "McGregors" because that is how they have chosen to name it.

* Barclay's became Barclays, Waterstone's became Waterstones, and so on.

** We called Safeway "Safeway's" before it became, erm, ,"Morrisons". F.W Woolworth became both "Woolworth's" and "Woolworths", and of course you have "Tesco" which is colloquially referred to as "Tesco's", not to be confused with "the Tescos" who know who they am.

Interestingly, the home of golf is "St Andrews" whereas the home of the unwashed is "St Andrew's".

I recall a few years back, Birmingham City Council were talking about removing all apostrophes from road signs.

That sounds like an excellent use of resources.

Maybe they were worried that BE was moving back to Brum and he meant business.
