    Home and Away Memberships 2023-24

    Recent tube strikes have been averted . An impending mayoral election is entirely coincidental! That said as long as London Overground is working folk should be able to get there combination of buses and trains. A bit inconvenient, mind.

    Home and Away Memberships 2023-24

    Well, yes. Think they are trying to ensure that tickets are not ending up with non members. Our group has been emailing the ticket office giving authorisation for one individual, copiedon the email, to collect on the whole groups behalf. They have to produce photo id. Bit of a faff. But...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    It's a classic business mistake, especially in the entertainment industries where vanity projects prevail. Doesn't make the owners evil . Indeed, their aims do seem honourable: Grow the status of the club . Grow the value of their investment. Most fans would see achivement of these goals...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    The governance of the club - the business side - is questionable. A Financial Director writing a report about impending financial concerns that is ignored, a board with little experience of the sector it operates in, no minute taking, doesn't imply a well run business. I'm sure intentions were...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    The appeal process has always been thus . It's j ust we (certainly me) only realised yesterday on reading the report. You would hope Forest's lawyers were fully aware. It's been no secret. The PL is trying to address concerns about the process being "fake and manufactured" by publishing...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    Mid-table expectations were delusional. Look at Leicester with Maddison, Tielemans, Vardy and co. getting relegated. Cooper got us punching above our weight. The investment required from a standing start to even begin to compete was always going to risk FFP. Quite why the club - Randall in...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    The PL could take the view that their rules should merit a larger penalty - six points for admiting the breach plus four more points for the size of the breach with the reduced fine being inconsistent with the Everton ruling. Expect Everton's lawyers are putting together their letter now. Thus...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    The PL issued a statement that stuck to the facts and offered no opinion on the merits of the penalty. Makes our emotional note , pointing fingers , seem plain daft. Of course the PL will likely be lobbied by Luton, Everton who are very upset that their breach was for less but got more points...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    Percy points out both the club and the PL can appeal the penalty. I'm not sure firing off an angry statement serves much purpose than making us feel better temporarily. Percy: "Both Forest and the Premier League can appeal the four-point deduction handed down by the independent commission. The...

    Financial Fair Play (FFP)

    AM made an offer for Brennan which is evidence of a market price. Received wisdom at the time was Brennan wanted a London move . Brentford, who had got to know the player must have thought they could pick up a bargain. So we were right to hold out to maximise revenue from a sale. But the PL...

    Standard of Referees (Sponsored by Steven Reid)

    The lino was a bit of a numpty, mind. Least it didn't cost us. He looked a junior too. Underlines the point that many experienced officials have moved on and the talent pool overall is inexperienced

    Matchday 29 - Luton Town Football Club vs Nottingham Forest Football Club. Saturday 16th of March KO 3pm (I think)

    Been reported elsewhere in places like the Athletic that Marinakis was very frustrated about set piece incompetance and attempted to foist a coach on Cooper who refused to accept the advice and the solution. Just prior to Cooper's departure Rusk was hired , a guy without any obvious specialist...

    Aye. Don't recollect Psycho playing the victim card or "Poor me". Just channel your energies into the next game. Take it out on Luton. Show them who is boss. Never mind fans visiting the dressing room, Psycho popping in to remind players (and while he's at it supporters) what it means to...

    It's his right to call it out, but is it right? Is it helpful? Free speech comes with consequences and responsibilities.

    Right to call it out? Athletic say he's in line for punishment for his comments And adds to the "poor me" personality that really doesn't help - other than make us feel better temporarily. Unless it can be used to galvanise an into battle mentality. With Luton next, lets hope so.

    Agree. Playing the victim card doesn't suit us and serves no purpose. I can only think the Coach is playing it to deflect attention. We will benefit from unified positiveenergy from fans , coaching staff and players to get out of this mire.
