I’ve probably already told you this on one of our trips away together but I flew back with my family from Kuwait for the Forest away game years ago. It was the one that was postponed for the medical emergency! 😫 No refunds but an offer of tickets for the rearranged date; too bad as I’d already flown back by then!

I tried really hard to not be a pedant and comment but I couldn’t help myself. ‘They can’t do nothing’ is a double negative which means they can do wrong in some fans eyes! Sorry! 😔

I’ve mentioned JustPark as an option before. There’ll be driveways nearby for less than a tenner. The one I booked is 5 mins from the ground, cost £7 and will be far easier to get away from than from the packed supermarket car park!

Yes it does. One booked you get a note specifically telling you the restriction doesn’t apply to your vehicle.

At least you didn’t spend 7hrs driving there and back in the pouring rain in the faint hope our team would step up to the plate!

Maybe you are old enough then 😉

Don’t get me wrong I hate the clappers and wish they weren’t offered at all but you must be too young to remember these from the 70’s? They were everywhere and generated fake noise in much the same way!

I’m absolutely fuming! Plymouth away on a Friday night is a disgrace, even more so when most of us have work before a 200 mile each way trip! I’d convinced the missus to go providing there was a chance of food and drink and an overnight stay in a seaside hotel but she’ll not want to sit in the room on her own while I’m at the match! (And we are too old to start partying past 10:00pm)!

That graph very nearly brought my lunch back up 🤮

I’m genuinely pleased for the fans that bothered to do the long midweek trip because you just never know how it’ll play out. Well done all; you sounded great!

When you finally get inside! The turnstile system they used on the night was an absolute shambles!

I like the way you talk about expanding the section by expanding the word section👏

I honestly don’t think I’ve enjoyed any one post more than this. I must have read it a dozen times. Well done the author!

I really like this line from the report in the Stoke Sentinel: Sixteen games to go until the end of the season and the rest of the division probably can’t wait to see the back of them.

262 pages in and this is the first time I’ve felt the need to comment on the atmosphere and the crap some folk come out with! I’m nearly 60, probably look about 70, and I sing and jump about at the back of SK1 more than most around me. An example of how age is not relevant is last night when a bunch of ‘lads’ came and stood at the back of the singing section moaning that there was no atmosphere where they were and they wanted to join in and add something to the atmosphere. After they just chatted for a while and offered nothing to the team I pointed out the irony of it all. To be fair, after that they occasionally clapped and uttered a few words of encouragement. Finally, when I look down at the singing section at the rows and rows of silent and motionless (young and old) people I sadly realise there is no hope! Add to the section, move it or disband it will make no overall difference. Thankfully, knowing I have done my very best for the team helps me sleep at night…but that might also be an age related sleep disorder!
