Did anyone else get this in their stocking this year? From reading the history it appears that the city council over the years has held back NUFC & development at SJP more than the much maligned board. Did anyone else get the same imoression.

Never read the book Dave, but that's the way I always saw it. The cooncil were the ones who owned the leasehold (or whatever the technical term is) on SJP. While other grounds were being developed, SJP stayed for too long in the Dark Ages. Thankfully, things changed and we now have the cathedral we all worship in.
