Someone said their ground cap was 26. I had to go on Wikipedi to make sure that was thousands.

I've told this story many times to those that will listen (and even loads that won't) but it is gospel truth.

When we got promoted in 1978 our first game was Forest away. There were many 1000s of us up there (10k plus). Our end was absolutely rammed, dangerously so. Eventually they opened another block for Spurs right up the other end next to their main home stand.

I asked a steward if I could go up there to get out of the crush. He assented. So I am literally walking up the pitch by the touchline and when I get to around the halfway line I see a bod coming down the terrace which alerted my spidey senses...he jumped on the pitch and threw a haymaker at me, I ducked, he missed...a tried to boot him and missed at which point he turned around and jumped back in the stand from whence he came.

I reckon that goes down as the worst fight at a football match of all time. Certainly the 1970s.

Worse than the Hugh Grant/Colin Firth one in Bridget Jones Diary.

I told you it would get better after the 9th time 😉
 

Olympiakos and Forest owner Marinakis faces trial for corruption​

Shipping magnate Vangelis Marinakis, the owner of Olympiakos as well as English club Nottingham Forest, lashed out Wednesday after being told that he and 27 others must stand trial accused of corruption in Greek football.


"You know very well that I do not bend. One can withstand when he is not afraid of anything and that I have no relationship with corruption charges. I have learned to be patient and at the end to justify myself with glory," said Marinakis.
The Greek Supreme Court dismissed an appeal made by the accused and so Marinakis, together with former Greek football federation president Giorgos Sarris and an ex-legal advisor, will stand trial accused of forming a criminal organisation and manipulating results of matches.
A total of 28 people are facing charges including former federation members, ex-referees, the owners of Super League clubs Levadiakos and Atromitos, as well as former coaches and players. In March 2018, Marinakis, who is also owner of English Championship club Nottingham Forest, was charged with drug trafficking. A judiciary source told AFP then that Marinakis is also being prosecuted for "possession and trafficking of drugs" and for "associating with criminals."
Piraeus prosecutors had banned Marinakis from leaving the country because of a probe into the financing of a company that chartered the Noor1, a petrol tanker that was seized off the Greek coast in June 2014 with two tonnes of heroin on board.
Prosecutors claim the heroin was to be transported by truck through Greece and on into western Europe. Marinakis, 51, has furiously denied the charges. He bought Notthingham Forest, the two-time European champions, in May 2017 in a £50 million deal.

😂😂😂 Firesale at NFFC when this goes tots up. Back to Div 1
 
Lol. Puppies.
that Tin can phone from the 1930’s still a thing in Notts. It’s wrong that successive governments have abandoned this place in terms of investment and education.
imagine having Derby fans laugh at you.

have we established Forum-to-forum communication yet?

I want to send them a message from when we were last at their level congratulating them on all their forthcoming trophies.

Just had a quick read of your forums match thread and for what it’s worth you all seem like a bunch of miserable cunts 👍

Your observation is very accurate, I give you that.

Now go fuck off and ask homeless lads on the subway, if they wanna be your teams 97th free signing of the transfer window.

Someone should tell those Forest cunts that we are making silly jokes about trees, that's how seriously we think the game is going to go. Whilst they sit there with their two pages of delusion.

Blimey - have they filled 2 pages now? Luckily I don't give a fig. They're arborium me to tears. We have balsa steel and with Antonio at the elm we will have them pining fir the Championship - which is where they're heading back to in a few months thyme.

Some bullshit going on. 10,000 spurs fans? Extra pen opened next to the Mainstand?
They occupied two pens in the East Stand same as all the away fans did.
Billy bullshitters.
Yes, I saw that.

And also claims he was escorted along the side of the pitch. The only time the gates on those pens were opened was for the coppers, who'd do a rush in, grab their man, then take 'em out of the gate and into the buffer pen on the Bridgeford Road end. That was about 20 yards away but behind the goal not on the side.

Sounds like a Billy Big Bollocks to me. Probably never even set foot in the City Ground.

As for pricks, who's the cunt who thinks it's clever to use a picture of Jesus as his avatar?

There are no easy 3 points in the EPL.

Well, we only won 9 of our 19 AWAY games away last season. Dropping what we would have assumed as 3 pointers to Saints, Everton, Burnley, Brentford, Palace

Palace and brentford and maybe saints are no gimmies, but the others were certainly missed opportunities. If we don’t win at forest, we will for sure say it’s a missed opportunity, so the expectation should be 3 points.
