Sad news. Was lucky enough to meet & chat with him a couple of times, the most memorable being at a friend's wedding he also attended at the Chesford Grange. Me & a mate hijacked him & reminisced about all things Cov. He entertained & joined in with our memories just like his own, even if he...

I've mentioned him before but John Akinde would be my target. He is a brute of a of a player, and with Barnet going nowhere at the moment they might sell for £100k or so. He has a great record in this league & isn't long back from injury, so probably won't be on the radar of too many other...

Ironically Forest got relegated that season, and after they beat us on the opening day I don't think they won another game until January/ February time.

Andy Blair - Just hope Bayliss doesn't go to Villa like he did.

This was the season after we had lost on penalties at Sheff Utd in Quarter Finals of cup & had a half decent season - Dublin had scored 20 goals etc. We had players like Nilsson, Boateng, Huckerby, Whelan & Dublin, so weren't particularly shit at that time. Can't remember the particular details...

If we stay where we are now (or better) our crowds will gradually rise as the season intensifies. Even though we are having a decent season some of our home games have been pretty grim viewing, with most of our opponents set up to frustrate and spoil, and mixed with other factors that are...

I presume Armstrong is still a Newcastle player.

Notts County for me too. My Dad is from Nottingham & grew up watching Tommy Lawton play for them. Lived in Nottingham for a bit & did go & watch them a few times too. This also explains why I dislike Forest more than Villa/ Leicester etc.

You really are a sanctimonious moron. You are also a hypocrite who gladly followed our football club to another town, but is outraged when others do the same elsewhere. Shame you weren't so vocal when your beloved SISU sent 'our' club over the cliff to the all time low we find ourselves in now...

Sign John Akinde & I see us getting promoted. Yes he would cost a transfer fee, but his salary at Barnet is hardly likely to break the bank. It means speculating a little, but the bigger crowds we would get if we knock in a few more goals & challenge at the business end of the season would...

I'm no fan of Wasps, have never been to watch them & can't imagine I ever will. However, rugby and its followers are completely different to football supporters and should not be judged by our own standards of partisan loyalty to our club. I get the impression their followers are more interested...

We got caught into playing the game Port Vale wanted. The pitch didn't help matters & neither did the ref who let a lot of pushing & shoving go, particularly their central defenders on McNulty & Biamou who as a result just couldn't get in the game. Watching the game I thought it was Beavon who...

I agree with your sentiment but plenty of Cov people (majority probably) that are into football choose other teams over CCFC. Why would rugby be any different?

Kevin Drinkell failed to score in his last 22 games for us. What was worse was that we paid £1 million for him!!

I notice John Akinde is fit again and playing for Barnet, and quickly getting amongst the goals. He always scores goals at this level despite playing for a mid/ low level team & while I know it would involve a transfer fee of some kind, I really think it would make a big statement to both our...

Absolutely delighted. Have friends from Hull & they've loved this last year.

Football fans have long memories!! It was 1980 according to this. The 10 worst examples of footballers behaving badly | Sport | The Observer, which ties in with how I remember it. Half my family are from Nottingham & my first away game was last game of the season at Forest in 1981. Shilton got...

No that was in his Forest time. I'll be surprised if our match is picked for TV, & I reckon the crowd could be 15,000+, but I don't think they are a big enough draw for a 25,000 crowd.

I first had a season ticket in 1978. No recollection of cup games ever being free as part of it.

Having seen how you put the blinkers on when posters disagree with you I know I am wasting my time arguing but I'll give it one go. Most of those that don't go blame SISU either for the Northampton fiasco, letting Wasps get the Ricoh or overseeing our fall into this god awful league. None are...
