Forest docked 4 points

[City Hobgoblin]

Sorry to be a bit picky but the BBC 10 o'clock news just called them Notts Forest. I didnt think there was any such club !

Forest fans HATE that

Forest fans HATE that

The old chant back in the early '70s:

"We hate Nottingham Forest!"

Or

"We hate Birmingham City!"

were the only two possiblities, as they were the only two teams, whose names were long enough to scan.

But it wasn’t kamikaze, as the rags were coining it left, right and centre.

Sty covered more of their games than any other team, thereby giving them more of the TV contract than others. They had the biggest crowds, so therefore the biggest match day income, as the days of sharing the attendance receipts were long gone. And their success was attracting glory hunters the world over, as the appeal of English "soccer" grew exponentially, especially in Asia.

Yes, they were outspending their closest rivals, but it wasn’t by any means kamikaze.

Dirty Leeds on the other hand…

Average attendance of 36,488 in 1989. Don't get me wrong, most clubs weren't getting huge crowds back then, but they weren't getting so much more than everyone else that it should make that much of a difference. They only really got their huge advantage in attendance after their success under Ferguson, when they expanded Old Trafford massively.

Fuck them I was there when Crosby headed it out of Dibbles hand. Although Nigel came to us and he was shite. I will reply to anyone who could say what Forest have done for us.

Brought peace?

Brought peace?

Not really. Why would it?

I am amazed these rules were not introduced to put a stop to Ferguson's kamikaze spending between 1986 and 1993.

.... and his bagman agent son.
