This site is very useful as each ground is alphabetical within it's league. It also has instructions on how to get to each ground, telephone numbers, and websites of each club. It also lists away friendly pubs as contributed by other fans.

"does anyone have" not, has anyone got. Shocking use of the language.

"does anyone have" not, has anyone got. Shocking use of the language.

'It's 'does anyone have', not "has anyone got...".'

The correction is not quoted, whereas the perceived mistake should be. The comma does not come after "not", in that sentence (whereas in this one, it is correct)

Tsk, if you MUST pick on someone's English language dougdeep, do try to get your own corrections right!

Notwithstanding that the initial grammar was not actually incorrect. It's just trendy to prefer 'have' to 'got'.
The word 'got', is often redundant. An example;- "I have got a new watch". Take away the unfashionable word, and the claim is the same, but now it has been made economical by the extraction of one word.
This lesson can be extended, e.g. "I have acquired a new watch", which now may raise a question from the listener, as to HOW this watch was acquired.

English is complex, and somehow wonderful.

Ne'est ce que pas?

What sort of watch have you acquired? We need to know.

You have started a sentence with a conjunctive. Tsk. Schoolboy error.

The correction is not quoted, whereas the perceived mistake should be. The comma does not come after "not", in that sentence (whereas in this one, it is correct)

Where's the full stop in the last sentence? Why the superfluous comma in the last sentence?

English is complex, and somehow wonderful.

Ne'est ce que pas?

Once again, a superfluous comma in the first quoted sentence.

It's probably best if you don't quote foreign phrases if you can't spell them properly.


Hope that helps.
