alan s 156 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Between them, Forest & Notts County have taken 1pt from the last 45 available 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 It seems strange that someone would be interested in buying either club, yet both will have new owners in a couple of weeks. Lets hope that they have deep pockets, as both clubs need a lot of money spending on them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,272 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Spoke to a friend of ours today who was at the Newcastle v Forest game. He's a very big Newcastle fan and far from gloating at the result he said that Forest had the better game. We discussed the fact that Nottingham has two League clubs .....the oldest one and the red one that has supporters who only survive on past glories. It's a real shame and yes they both need a massive input of cash but it's probably too late for County. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 15,560 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hope not Lizzie.........Nottingham should be proud of having two league clubs,not many have outside London..............Manchester,Birmingham,Bristol,Sheffield..............anymore ?....edit Liverpool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Picked it up off the BBC feed. As I was at the match on Friday I should have remembered the fluke earlier in the month! My bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,423 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Our son and grandson went to see the Cambridge United match this afternoon against Notts County. They enjoyed it (of course) and said the result was justified - but I suppose they would, wouldn't they! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,272 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 County just sacked their manager tonight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,423 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Someone has to take the blame I suppose. Will a new manager make a difference, do you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,272 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Doubt it. Who'd want to be a football manager eh? Especially based in Nottingham!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,106 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I can't envisage any manager of quality and distinction taking on the Forest job. Some up and coming beginner may end up at Notts, but currently, we're both the laughing stock of the game. The only saving grace yesterday was that the Stags won away at Blackpool, and that the Sheep were stuffed at Norwich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody 516 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Wonder why you never hear of players being sacked , after all they are the ones on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,922 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 It has not started well for the Forest on the home front, losing 2-1 to Mansfield at Field Mill. Yes I can hear the cries of "but it was only a friendly" maybe, but if you cant beat a team that is in the bottom tier of league football then I wonder what the new season holds? At home to WBA on Saturday and the week after away at Leeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,272 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Forest will win against West Brom on Saturday ......... I’m going down, first time for over 40 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,278 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Liking that Lizzie, I can't see us winning any of our first 3 league games, I'm going for a final position of 15th, Lamouchi will most likely be gone by the end of November twenty nineteen The Stags game was a under 23 game Oztalgian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,106 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just got my tickets for Saturday too. I not exactly brimming with confidence, but I think the new players will slot in OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 2,922 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Not the best of starts for any of the Notts clubs. Lizzie M being there did not help the Reds. The Stags drew 2-2 at Newport and County lost their first ever game in the National League and had two players sent off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,106 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Saw Lizzie, and was hoping that she'd bring us some good luck. It wasn't to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,272 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I enjoyed the game despite the fact we lost to a better team. This was the first time I’d been to a Forest game for well over 40 years, but the days of watching Joe Baker (zigger zagger) and Ian Storey-Moore (had his photo on my school jotter) 50 + years ago are my best memories. Nowadays I haven’t got a clue who the players are and certainly can’t spell their names. Let’s hope the team gels and they have a decent season. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,106 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 We'll get better, I'm convinced of that. Yes the names. Despite having a programme, I was dumbfounded. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 276 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Standing in the last throes of the East Stand... four year's season ticket, about 1981..Remember the car's driving around the outside of the pitch.. Toyota? Presumably sponsors, i recall them being mobile spitoons If memory serves i didn't partake myself! . .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I can remember the Toyota cars at the City Ground, HSR. Forest have started the season with a new manager and a number of new players. They'll need a little time to gel and I'm sure they'll improve with every game. I don't think they played too bad against West Brom and the two goals against them were goalkeeper errors. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
