Smiffy49 590 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I've not heard too much lately about the pending takeover of the club by an American chap. Has anyone heard anything about this. We can tune in to East Midlands news here in Lincs, but nothing on that either?? What's going on....? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Annesleyred1865 137 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Should be done by next tuesday, sooner the better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Well here we go again ! The takeover stumbles on and finally falls through. Yet another manager sacked, and we're currently half way through the January transfer window, so you can imagine where our 'best' players are going. Yes ! Out the door. No doubt to enhance the chances of our rival teams in the Championship. I think staying up will be classed as a major success this season. Roll on May,and let's get it over with.

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well it's a funny old game as they say. The takeover grinds to a halt, the manager is sacked and we sell our best and most influential player. What happens....... We bleddy well win that's what ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Probably a good fixture for a struggling Forest, Bristol have lost 9 of their last 10 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 A good point Lizzie. I'm sure that if we'd been beaten at home by a better team than BC, then what little confidence the players had left, would surely have been eroded even more. Also the fans would have been even more disgruntled and rebellious. Its a win that hopefully will give them something to build on, and hopefully to climb up the table. The play-offs..... Now wouldn't that be remarkable ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,288 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 How did a song about the southwest tip of the Kintyre Peninsula and why and when did "Mull of Kintyre" get to become the Forest "song"? This is the "real" and only true Forest song from the days when we had a team to be proud of and didn't have a revolving door in the managers office. I really hope that this season is going to be different, but realistically how can we expect a team that only avoided relegation on the last day of the season challenge for promotion? I hope so but.................! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have always found the Forest pre-match & half-time & goal celebration music which as been the same for years .... shite! Not sure why they always play "Born Slippery" by "Underworld" just before kick off then "Mull of Kintyre" they always cut it short & we sing: City GroundOh mist rolling in from the TrentMy desire is always to be hereOh City GroundFar have I travelled, and much have I seenGoodison, Anfield, are places I've beenMain Road, Old Trafford, still echo the soundOf the boys in the red from the City Ground Then when a goal is scored "The Fratellis" "Chelsea Dagger" sack the DJ that what I say?

Oztalgian 3,288 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 radfordred, You mean they don't have a band on at half time and some blokes in flat caps carrying a blanket around in front of the terraces for the fans to chuck their coins in. Can't be true supporters if they've only been to Liverpool and Manchester and then, not recently. The song for this season might be reworded as follows :- Far I have travelled, and much have I seen Deepdale, Oakwell, are places I've been Griffin Park, Ashton Gate, still echo the sound Of the boys in the red from the City Ground Hopefully the original words can be reinstated at the end of the season and we have gained promotion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don't encourage the fine art of chucking of coins, pool balls, stones, Chinese throwing stars, heavy pub tungsten darts, half bricks, ball bearings pinched from Raleigh & fireworks at football matches anymore, must be an elf & safety thing? Killjoys thats what it say? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
