Agreed.

Easy to overlook the generosity of Goddards too, well before any of our time. Good philanthropic stuff and their lawyers were clearly no mugs either, or the County Ground would have become a Tesco many moons ago.

I'll be honest, properly in the minority here but I had no idea who the Goddards were until I looked last night. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_family
