The ‘I have something to say about Forest that doesn’t warrant its own thread’ Thread

[Otis Redd'un]

Not quite sure how I came across this from the BBC4 archive...

Quiz Ball, a sort of Question of Sport from 1966 - Arsenal v Nottingham Forest

Ted Moult was bizarrely appointed as our "celebrity" fan on that show (every competing team had to include one. He was a farmer from Derbyshire who was often featured on TV, who had no known connection with Forest, be it as a supporter or otherwise, other than being a local-ish 'personality'. A clear sign of the times, he puffed away on a pipe all through the show (Johnny Carey, a fellow pipe-smoker, declined the opportunity), hence the cloud of smoke as shown above him on the photo.

Sadly, he took his own life many years later.

Controversial?

Finally watched that. Seems fairly normal there and his last point about C***agher was bang on.

Just a question to the mods if they are at liberty to answer. Has the number of forum member increased much since promotion and are there many overseas newbies.

Nothing more than just intrigue on my part.

I think there'll be a significant increase in members on here, especially the nearer to the start of our 1st division campaign.

Seeing more and more Forest shirts on the streets now.

Well, this past season has reinvigorated my love for Forest and ended up with me coming back onto this forum, I rock up and I see many other names from yesteryear all posting again like it's 2010. So I'm guessing they've seen a general uptick in members and returnees in recent months on here.

Not much change yet.

Visitors from Greece and France almost doubled but overall month on month it's about the same. Which for the break between seasons is good

Gibraltar has gone up from 3 visitors to 94 visitors

Hasn't Bulwell been a hotbed of Trickies for a long time Ray?

Yes Oats, plenty a Forest there I think.

Same everywhere.

We're "Trendy" now

Getting some strange looks on the beach in Greece where I’m on holiday.
Might be something to do with me listening to my Spotify playlist whilst on my sun bed?
Every time Depeche Mode comes on I start jigging about like a lunatic with a grin from ear to ear.
But then again…

I think I have Stockholm Syndrome, I saw the Championship fixtures and it feels weird we're not in them!

It's still strange seeing our stuff on the premier league channels. Though I still can't choose them as my favourite team on the app.

You don't need to, we're automatically everybody's favourite team.

 

[Canadian_red]

Good point, I didn't consider that the default was the mighty reds.

Just been announced that although parachute payments may soon be a thing of the past this season's promoted clubs will still get them if they get relegated.

We need to get a LTLF Fantasy League going when it's launched

I can resurrect the LTLF predictions league if people are interested?

 

[Canadian_red]

I've done pretty well over the years in various fantasy leagues but part of that I think was my lack of bias. Probably fucked it now.

Yes please Harv.

Is there anywhere online to watch the Blades second leg match? Full match Sky recording ideally!

Yes:
Arter, Silva, Lolley, Taylor and Da Costa.

Not as bad as previous years, and all besides Arter should be relatively easy to shift as they can do a job at bottom half Championship or League One level (or overseas equivalents)
