Talking of Luton Town who will play a crucial part in Forest being relegated or staying up I see that Luton's goalkeeper in that game Ron Baynham has recently died aged 94. He was the oldest living England international footballer. That mantle now passes to Frank Blunstone aged 89. Former outside left at Chelsea after starting his career at Crewe Alexandra in 1951. He played five times for the senior England squad.

Forest - After being given a 4 point penalty for infringing profit and sustainability rules they now fall into the relegation spots, third from bottom on 21 points. They are now one point behind Luton having played the same number of games and 4 behind Everton who have a game in hand. Thank goodness they did not lose at Luton last Saturday. Forest play their next two games at home against 14th placed Crystal Palace next Saturday and 12th placed Fulham on Tuesday 2nd April. These are both winning chances. Meanwhile Luton are away at 5th placed Spurs on Saturday and the top of the table Ar

Our glorious state leader has today announced that the government is using state major events attraction funding (taxpayer monies) to bring the British and Irish Lions Rugby Union touring team to Adelaide in July 2025. Tickets go on sale from today, this means that the promoters have the punters money for 16 months interest free. Of course, as usual, he won't tell us how much it is costing, claiming commercial confidentiality. It may have escaped their notice but South Australia is not a "rugby union state". We do not have a team represented in the top level competition. The best teams are in

The Nottingham Post has just published an article about "8 Nottinghamshire pubs serving exceptionally good food They were :- Dovecote Inn, Laxton The Blacksmiths, Retford The Lambley, Lambley Black Bull, Blidworth Martins Arms, Colston Bassett Tap and Run, Upper Broughton The Reindeer, Hoveringham Unicorns Head, Langar Has anyone eaten at any of these and if so what was your experience? We await philmayfield's review of the Reindeer with interest. I only have experience of two of these pubs from 40+ years ago. The Black Bull at Blidworth w

County - Managed to halt the run of 5 successive defeats by drawing 2-2 against the team one place above them on the ladder, Accrington Stanley, The perpetual cellar dwellers of my youth. The crowd was a paltry 2,499. The Magpies opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a goal by Jim O'Brien. Accrington levelled in the 17th minute when the County 'keeper Slocombe could only parry a header and Whalley blasted the ball into the roof of the net. Alassana Jatta gave County the lead on the stroke of half time. Accrington salvaged a point after a handball in the area by Kyle Cameron gave them a pen

At the last Federal election in Australia many of the population did what you suggested, and many seats went to the so called "Teal Factor" who are mainly independent candidates. This came as a shock to the two major parties and has necessitated some deals on aspects of legislation in the upper house but in the lower house it changed very little as they still held a workable majority. in the lower house 12 seats were held by Indpendents versus 78 Labor and 54 Opposition seats. To get legislation through our upper house the Government has to rely on support from the Independents and minor parti

The experience in the UK is mirrored here in Australia' In 2019 the incoming Liberal State government closed seven TAFE (Technical and Further Education) campuses across South Australia and privatised the system leading to widespread rorts and students being ripped off. This was done under the guise of "operating efficiencies" and effectively gutted the system and left it as a shell. Fast forward to 2023/4 and we now have 10,000+ fee free places and they are building five new technical colleges, the first opened earlier this year. The big wheel keeps on turning or Back to the Fu

Sadly Lizzie, I can only hope that Forest don't have a seat booked in the tumbril. I think it is just a reprieve until the guillotine falls on Friday.

A very interesting article DJ360. I'd be curious to know how much interest the average Joe has in Nigel Farage and the growth of the more extreme right-wing element within the conservative side of government. I look forward to the upcoming UK general election to see how this pans out. The leader of our Federal opposition coalition parties Liberal/National is part of the right-wing faction, I would not say extreme, as yet, and am curious how our 2025 election turns out especially if Trump becomes US President again.

Forest - Luton did not further damage Forest's chances of staying up as they lost 4-3 away against AFC Bournemouth. A game in which Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo scored a hat trick. Someone on this thread said the decision on the penalty for breaking the financial guidelines was due to be handed down on Friday. Minus six points would make it a struggle to survive given their current form and minus 10 points would mean it is all over red rover. Luton vs Forest at Kenilworth Park on Saturday. A "six pointer" if ever there was one.

For some unknown reason whenever I went fishing at Fiskerton and the river levels were high I never seemed to have much luck.

County - Fall further down the ladder to 17th place after losing 2-1 away at Crawley Town. They took the lead in the 20th minute with a goal from Sam Austin, they held the lead until the 79th minute when Crawley equalised. Crawley took the lead 5 minutes later to take the points. Crawley received 5 yellow cards and County played the last 18 minutes 1 man down after Scott Robinson received a second yellow card and was sent off. I think Maynard is on very shaky ground at the moment. Away at Accrington Stanley on Saturday. Stags- Away at Prenton Park with Tranmere Rovers just above Co

That's the one, thanks plantfit.

Didn't know who the landlord/landlady was. Just knew that a pint of Kimberley mild was very welcome at lunchtime on a hot day. I seem to remember that you went in a door at the side (car park) and were served through a hatch so you did not have to go inside in you fishing gear. My mum liked a glass of Blackamoor Sweet Stout and lemonade whenever we were out for a Sunday drive and stopped at a Kimberley pub.
