He looks massive with that pigeon on his foot.

Yes,we beat Sheffield Wednesday,Blackburn and Leicester to finish a truly awful season because of our terrible ownership.

My memory is playing tricks with me. I thought Middlesbrough were one of those teams we beat with a young Marlon Harewood getting on the scoresheet.

Marlon did score against Middlesbrough that season,Mark-in a 1-1 draw at the Riverside
which was played on a Sunday (I remember listening on Radio Nottingham already resigned
to relegation).
Incidentally,we lost 1-2 to them later in the season at the City Ground.
A really depressing time as we headed for 23 years in the wilderness.

Yes, at the bottom of Angel Row?

Close by Red. The ABC was on the corner of Chapel Bar. The police box was on Long Row, between Yates' Wine Lodge and Pearsons department store. Back then, I saw Tug, quite literally, bounce troublemakers out of Yates' more than once.

The ramshackle nature of the TB pavilion only adds to its charm.

Let's hope they make a better job than they have done on pavilion "improvements" at other grounds. And a better job than the modifications to the Radcliffe Road stand that look like they were designed by by a 5 year old.

It will also be interesting to see where they get the money from to do this ...

Must admit when I see glimpses of the pavilion on TV whilst watching matches, it looks unchanged from my time going to games in the early '50s.

I think to be fair, VP, it’s probably been changed since the 1850s!

Never hear der duh der duh der duh der duh when cops walk past the end these days either

I've tried to get that going a few times, given up on the youth of today though, they're too compliant!

100% mate wonder what a football stadium in 20 years will be like just clapping every pass from whatever team so as not to appear non inclusive to the opposition actually probably won't be allowed to call them opposition that would be too threatening maybe mutual players of the game of football or something as equally shit

I went to a Grimsby town away game at belle vue with a mate maybe 2004 ish. It was a packed terrace and a bit raucous. Anyway the police were at the front with the riot gear on and someone managed to grab a riot hat off a coppers head. It then got lobbed about a bit and eventually got smashed and thrown over the back of the stand. All to the tune of “der duh der duh”

Happy 5th anniversary.

Honestly some of the pot holes in my village could have been repaired in …. Oh wait

Happy 5th anniversary.

China have built entire cities in the time. Mind you it's amazing what you can achieve when you do give a shite how many people die doing it

TBF, half the supporter base will be dead of old age before anything gets done with the CG.

I'm gonna rule out death by scalding from hot water there.

Are you expecting the non-deceased to live to 150 years old?

Cities that have remained empty and no use to anyone. The equivalent of Derby County building that new stadium of theirs down the A52.

Just dont rule out death by e coli Notcher, ffs.

Happy 5th anniversary.

Was that when they told us that we had to immediately renew our season tickets or we'd be locked out for the duration of the building work, with the implication that the diggers were at the gates?

 

[Otis Redding]

Given it's the anniversary, it's about time the club publicly called-out the city council for its major contribution to this delay.

Either that, or send a few big lads round to the Boat Club and threaten to stuff the entire building up their arse if they don‘t move, sharpish.

Just another illustration of why we're always struggling in this country these days.

Nothing that needs to be done, gets done.

My missus hit a f***ing pot hole last night exploding the tyre.

The council are getting it! f***ing sick to death of the state of the roads around me.
