Keeping the faith.
I notice a comment from a reader in the E&E website complaining that the paper had spelt SJP 'St James's Park'.
The reader said it should be 'St James' Park'.
I thought it was plain 'St James Park'.
Who is right?
(Sorry if this sounds all a little Harry Hill)

I am under the impression that:

Exeter = St James Park
Newcastle = St James' Park
Lahndan = St James's Park

I thought somebody like Dr. Dave nailed this some time ago and that all three were acceptable under the auspices of occam's razor or some other clever stuffs.

I was of a mind the support the St. James Park option.

Flakey didn't offer that option Poults, and he's an assistant head.

Don't care if he is a Richard, that full stop has to be there.
