Lady at work is into her netball, played at a very good level, though apparently she's staying supporting Loughborough Lightening. Apparently London are the favourites to win the league so tough start for Forest as a new team.

Pulse 73 - 51 Forest
Comfortable win for Pulse in the end, it's all about finding our feet this first season for Forest

Note to EM - buy two very tall netball players stick one up front and one at the back. Has Milenkovic got any sisters?

Heard it was on the red button so switched over from the Geordie love-in out of casual interest. There were 2 minutes left. I could see London were comfortably winning but was puzzled as the colours of the teams’ captions didn’t match their colours on the court. London wore pink but the graphic had their name in navy(black?) while we wore navy(black?) and our name was in a sort of pinky shade of red. It was only when I saw the famous tree badge in a close-up that I realised which team was which (I’d been wondering why so many of the crowd were cheering when we got the ball…)

Yeah I noticed that, it was because we were wearing our away dresses and Pulse's colours were normally fuchsia and black / navy blue (so basically our away colours) but this season they've gone more pink and obviously the BBC hadn't updated the captions, hence the confusion

I went, it was good!
I know nothing about netball, but Forest were well ahead for the majority of the game.
It was well attended.
I did not take up the Arena "offer" of 2 pints for £17.40.

I really hope we make a success of this. Looks like it was well attended tonight.

I'm loving the fact that EM has started at least the basics of a sporting club model similar to how its works at Olympiacos (please add Volleyball to the model) - creating Forest Netball has caused quite a stir in the game, one of my daughter's best friends is only 15 but played for England in Ireland last week and she was talking about it, not that it's going to persuade her to change her plan to go to Uni in Loughborough mind you.

Exactly the same as my eldest, she's a huge Lightning fan and wants to go Loughborough uni, although I have noticed she's started to take a slight interest in NF Netball so you never know...

Excellent result.
Let this close tie carry over to this evening's game and an equally good result

To be fair, it was a very close game with never more than a 4 points in it.
Forest were ahead for about 80% of the game.
Loughborough could have drawn level with the last shot of the game. But they didn't.

Split loyalties for me. 
Actually, Loughborough Lightening are basically just the Uni team so sod 'em.

EM is a mile ahead of the game here. Our netball team is immediately a hundred times more recognisable than any other team in the league because they play under the same name, badge and organisation as the football club.

Stuart Pearce
Yeah definitely. The netball is all over Sky Sports and as such, so is the Forest logo.

I think the only other one is Leeds play under the 'Rhino' name, but other than that they are all stand-alone teams. Like you say, ours is by far the most recognisable, and never mind just England, I mean on a world level.

If anyone is interested I see that Birmingham Panthers v Forest is live on Sky Sports at 6pm tomorrow.

It is sad to see the precinct go. I walked through town the other day and I had The Specials playing in my head.
