Fox in a Box Posted 8 August 2005 Posted 8 August 2005 My mate (Forest 'fan') was so appalled with the current state of affairs at the City Ground that he went into Sherwood Forest and nailed his season ticket to the Major Oak. When his missus berated him for wasting his money on the thing in the first place, he saw 'sense' and went back to the tree, only to be totally saddened and disappointed at what he saw. Someone had nicked the nail. A space ship full of aliens landed at the City Ground the other week during a match. Nobody came out and it took off again. Apparently there was no atmosphere! 1. They still get all irate if you dare call them Notts Forest rather than Nottingham Forest. It's therefore the duty of every good Derby fan to call them the wrong name and watch as they start crying 2. Their best player is Des Walker, a man so old he can remember the D-Day landings and still gets angry if you mention decimalisation. 3. Forest's fans still go on about what neat, attractive football the club plays when really that ended many years ago and the team now play primitive hoof-it-and-run football just like every other Division three side. 4. Their finances are in such a poor state that earlier this year they struggled to pay the rent on their ground - forcing the city council to threaten them with eviction. 5. Many 'experts' predicted automatic promotion for Forest this season causing feverish anticipation amongst the fans - I don't think it's going to happen now. 6. The 'Tricky Trees' still remains the most tragic nickname in the world of football. It summons up images of a Disney spectacular with Mickey Mouse running through a haunted forest. At least that would be more entertaining than 90 minutes at the City Ground. 7. Likeable characters to have worn the Forest shirt include Pierre Van Hooijdonk, John Curtis and that warm-hearted fellow Roy Keane. 8. Even when they were winning things (a long time ago!), the club struggled to attract large crowds to the City Ground. No wonder Brian Clough's loyalties seemed to have been with Derby County (on numerous occassions, he's said he wished he'd never left).
