Nott's Forest, San Diego

[FBS]

Another club taking their lead from us.

Can't find any history to suggest where it originated though

[Col]

Who is Nott? And can I visit his forest? :hey:

 

[Tutts]

Who is Nott? And can I visit his forest? :hey:

Ummm, that's what FBS is trying to find out Col?

Do try and be helpful.

Urgh, their name is enough to defeat any pedant, grammatical or otherwise.

"Learn to play the Forest way"

 

[pieman]

you'd have thought there would at least be a nod to us somewhere given they've even stolen the Forest font for their shirts.

Sorry Mr Bee.

 

[Hoax]

Didnt they used touse the Tree as their badge as well? Maybe this is the team someof our rivals mean when they mention Notts Forest. If you watch the picture slider most of the oponents have english teams kits

 

[Project Zeus]

Do their fans also descend into an incandescent rage when called 'Notts'?

 

[Caveman Ninja]

The apostrophe abuse makes me want to die.

Anyone watch all 40 minutes of that?

 

[tomasj]

I might, if I get paid.

 

[tropix]

Christ. Someone alert the authorities immediately. Fawaz will send the boys round

 

[BryanRoy22]

I managed to tolerate 5 seconds.

 

[tropix]

Another example of America thinking they're the only nation on earth. "Who are these Notts forest guys? Lets use their name! Lets go to the Waffle House to celebrate!"

 

[Anatoli]

One of the opposition teams was called Spurs.
I bet Nott's Forest always beat them.

 

[BryanRoy22]

Yeah! Go Team Forest. A 180 piledriver from the angle sees the scores at one nothing to the Nott's. Where was the deeefense?

Just can't help thinking of:

The answer is Linda Sawyer.

There is a huge expat population in California and they will use names of teams they supported in England.

In that video fast forward it to the 23.00 mark - it seems there's a mini-Manchester United squad facing them!

 

[Anatoli]

I watched another eight minutes. 23-31. They played Arsenal and Barcelona. The music went from The Ride of the Valkyrie to Pulp Fiction. They had nine shots on goal and only scored once from a rebounded penalty. The Under 14 girls looked far better than the boys. Didn't the US women's team win the world cup a few years ago? There was absolutely no one worth signing and I am leaving it now for good.

Mini-Manchester United? City?

The US women, and strangely enough Norway, dominated women's football for quite some time. Then the Germans and Brazilians arrived.

Surely the original NFFC have copyright over the font.......?

Mother of Tom. He was a big deal in America.
