When was the last issue printed ? Used to buy it every saturday about 6 oclock thought how
great it was you could read all about the game just over an hour after it had finished

We used to get weeks worth of copies sent to us in Africa back in the 80`s by family. It was a big event when they arrived :)

during those glory years of the late 70s, when forest were virtually winning everything...

on the 'letters page' there was a guy called S. Peel. from Gedling, who would nearly every week send a letter complaining about Clough's tack tics and team selections...:LOL:

I wonder if he's ever posted on here?

Saturday evenings as a child were spent in some WMC 'kids room' reading the Football Post eating whelks from the seafood guy that used to visit whilst the bingo was being called. Hardly great but i wouldn't change it for the world :)

Used to buy it every week to see my team Sherwood FC, written down that we had taken another tonking, even though I knew that as I played :LOL:

It had it all. Forest County Stags even Derby reports and news. All the local amateur clubs. Rugby boxing hockey and even cricket in season. Letters page. The crossword was ace as well.

Has he singed yet?
Anyone know why they stopped printing it.

I already said why! Internet killed it. Nobody needs to wait until 7 on a Saturday to read the first forest match report when so many are available online by that time.

I remember they had fans writing bits summarising forest and county. Forest had a female fan doing it and notts had a really snidey f***er who got well pissed off when we got promoted at Peterborough and radio Nottingham said it was a good day for Nottingham football

They had them all around the country in those days, all printed on distinctive paper. Ours in Norfolk was called the Pink 'Un and I've also seen them on green paper.

Great days.
