My daughter is wholly supportive of an ‘extreme ideological group’ and may even need to be referred to the UK’s Prevent programme.

It feels increasingly difficult to follow a football club all over the place in this modern era and be fully and absolutely all in.
Everything is transitory, but under Cooper, it felt special there for a while. Really really special.
And such things matter (to me anyway.)
Double searched on entry to ground last night, causing queuing times of at least 20 minutes, despite arriving 30 minutes before kick off.
And filmed at the end by the police while behind him…well…
It was all a bit…antagonistic.
‘Reds and Rams’ is out now.
It's the story of the rivalry that exists between Nottingham and Derby - on and off the football field - from the Victorian era and the formation of league football to the present day.
It is vitally important - in light of recent events - to not lose sight of season card prices and to maintain pressure on the club to be held to account.
Don’t let this below be swept away by other stuff.
Over the last week Forza Garibaldi and the Fan Advisory Board have engaged the club on concerns related to season card prices for 2024/25.
As part of this, FG have undertaken a comprehensive review of season cards across the Premier League which we feel is worth sharing.
It is easy to throw the word ‘ambition’ around, but it’s really not as simple as that.
He was there on Saturday and heard the chant.
Remember who this club ‘really’ belongs to…we might have to chant louder.
Steve Cooper has successfully negotiated the ‘he talks well’ stage of being a new manager.
The focus now moves on to his team selection and precisely how animated he is on the touch line in his first home game.
If an elephant isn’t paraded around the pitch at Selhurst Park on Sunday before the game, like it was in May 1995 against Wimbledon on the final game of the season, then what really is the point in anything?
Just before half-time, on August 24 1968 with the score at 1-1 against Leeds in front of 30,000, a fire broke out in the Main Stand. Thankfully, nobody was injured.
Now and Then:
‘What is the most important lesson life has taught you?’
Bart -Williams: It's really all about love, isn't it?
Just one of many wonderful responses by CBW in this wonderful interview:
With Hull tickets £33, that's a nice round £380 purely on away tickets following Forest so far this season.
That's 61% of them at least £30, making that price the norm, not the exception.
On average, £29,23.
Something needs to change.
Erling is not the first Haaland to Grace the City Ground turf. Here’s his dad in October 1993 with Brian and Ron.

Spare a thought for my dad who at the start of each season spends the first few games asking who 'that' player is. He's going to go through this all again mid season and frankly, not sure I'll be able to help him at this rate.

On its day, Nottingham Forest's City Ground is the best ground in England. You wonder how Forest could have won two European Cups but then you see the City Ground and you know.

A little concerned that ‘the river’ is perceived to be a ‘restriction’.
Weird since I see it as a blessing that is part of our identity.
Some very crude maths: Forest have enjoyed the lead at Pride Park for only 43 minutes.
That's 15 games there - 1350 minutes. Only been in the lead for 43 mins.
Ouch.
Huge thank you to everyone who has been so very nice this evening by acknowledging this. You are all very lovely people and it is much appreciated. Apologies in advance for banging on about this over the coming months.
