Remember when the scoreboard was above the East Stand - it used to flash up LATEST SCORES then tease us for a few seconds until a score appeared. Always bought a great cheer and laughter if Forest, Derby, Cov etc were losing and a big BOO if one of the above were winning.
My fave game was the league game vs Cambridge on Easter Tuesday during the first Little season. Queued for what seemed like hours to get into Pen 2 with my dad, brother and mate. We got into different lines and me and my dad somehow ended up in Pen 3 and the others in Pen 2. Rumoured to be hundreds locked out due to size of crowd (probably about 22,000). Anyway Tommy Wright and Phil Gee scored awesome goals before they scored a late one (Claridge I think). They battered us for about the last 10 mins but we held on - the shrills of people whistling for full time was loudest I ever heard. BRILLIANT. Seem to remember laughing at Cambridge fans when they did a silly crocodile impression with their arms !!! Even when we were poor or lost that season you never heard a single boo !!
RIP FILBO
