The World Famous City Ground - Home of the PROPER WORLD‘S OLDEST LEAGUE CLUB

[Raymondo Ponte']

Loved that, miniscule tv money then.

Now turnstile money is just a bonus for the big clubs.

Like the f***ing idiot I can sometimes be, I just clicked onto a shameless click-bait piece on Nottingham Post-online which clearly implies that a new timeline has emerged, only to discover a re-hash of previous re-hashes. Be warned!

How Clapson and Davies have the nerve to put their names to it (along with all of the other shit they routinely churn out) whilst describing themselves as journalists is nothing short of laughable.

Thanks for the heads up Otis. That site is not fit for purpose

It’s really weird because it only exists to make money so surely being good would be a better business plan?

Some brilliant old footage of the ground here from the late 70s before the Clough/Executive Stand was built, interspersed with some very insightful comments from the man himself where he foresees the advent of all-seater stadia many years before it became a reality.

It's telling that the Main Stand looks exactly the same there than it does today, right down to the numbers on the plastic seats. If ever evidence was needed that this club has been criminally neglected over recent decades...

Great clip, thanks for posting that.

I love watching old interview clips. Especially of Clough, obviously, but there's something about old TV interviews that we've lost today. They're much calmer, more measured and thoughtful. Perhaps it's the editing (or lack thereof), or more just the slower pace of life in general.

I couldn't agree more. The entire NottinghamLive site appears to be staffed by NTU media-studies interns who seemingly spend all day trawling the internet in a desperate search for potential content, overseen by a handful of senior so-called hacks.

You do the students of Nottm a disservice, Otis

Will it's been scientifically proven that the average attention span is now literally less than a goldfish, so that goes a long way to explaining things.

That means if you haven't hooked the viewer by about the 8 second mark, they're likely to flick to something else.

They get me once a week.

I'm usually fuming with myself for getting sucked into the nothing story

Spoiler: Forest warned of Fire Hazard by matchmaker

Swan Vesta, Britain's most famous matchmaker, advised smokers not to discard lit matches in dry Forests because of the dangers of fires. However, they also cheekily added that you should save your sparks for Valentine's Day when you light up the passion with a prospective beau.

I noticed that TV/media box at the TE/PT stand corner in brief flashes the other day. It appeared to be a much more detailed and designed structure than usual from what I could catch if it. Is this a permanent structure now rather than the ad-hoc to temp one that's been erected previously?

Same one I think, just had a bit of a makeover with some red signage.

I think it's there semi-permanently now rather than when we were in The Championship and they use to put it up on a game by game basis.

Probably one of the required changes that came with promotion.

It’s a bit more substantial than the previous scaffolding platform.

 

[Rzar]

It looks permanent now, why would they bother taking it down. Even if we go down it'll probably stay there.

It has a huge walkway under so doesn't block people traffic.

So, have we torn down the boathouse yet? If not, why not?

Torn down? Or burnt down?

Anyone else think the new LED bulbs on the A Block floodlight pylon look really weird? They aren't grandeur enough for their polls and look lost.

Just me then.

I've not seen them. Any pictures?
