Quote from Bilbraborn '​We often 'borrowed' artifacts from SBs. Usually the acid batteries in the basement had been tipped over by yobbos making them dangerous places to enter.

Hi all. I've been a Forest fan ever since my dad took me to see Notts County v Port Vale sometime in the '50s. Not strictly true of course, it wasn't until the '60s that I started going to the City Ground with a couple of schoolmates. I can't remember my first game, but Flip le Flem & Booth (Colin? blue chin) were playing at the time. I didn't start going regularly until 1966/67 after I left school.

Hope it's OK to throw in my two pennerth! I'm new here and I'm finding some of the threads absolutely fascinating and so many reawakened memories. What an incredible site.

I was born near Liverpool so was unfamiliar with other regional accents and words. The first strange word I remember was 'sucker'. Used for ' lolly ice'.

Was your brother the first one to have a box at Forest???

Just tripped over this topic - Fantastic!!!! Thanks to all who posted videos & aural links here, amazing stuff - I never knew you could find this sort of thing on the internet, I really must spend more time on the computer, ha ha! I've been a fan of the blues ever since I heard John Mayall playing the harmonica-led Parchman Farm on Radio Luxembourg back in 1965-ish when I was 15 years old. I was never a Beatles fan, even though one of my first (but not the first) vivid music memories is "Please, Please me" on a schoolmate's tranny while we were waiting for a bus home from Fairham Comp, C
