I expect that’s the sort of thing, yes.

The funny thing about the codes on the doors for years was that the numbers had worn down on the 4 digit code so it was easy to guess but they never changed it. Classic forest

Don seems like a nice man, has deep knowledge of the club, has a lot of contacts, has an extensive collection of books about Forest and memorabilia and lives in the area. I'm too far away from Nottingham with no transport, know none of the players, ex -players or families or even the current players. Don is probably the right person to be doing the job now and I really don't have a desire to do the job. I'm happy collecting what I can and making it available for others to pick out what they think is interesting.
Don is still the official historian, and, though I don't know 100%, I believe it's an honary position, so as you imply unpaid.
You would hope that some people outside of the club like Don and yourself would have input, however, the club (probably in partnership with outside consultants) would be deciding what their aims are for the museum. The early stuff that I like most isn't the stuff that would likely interest youngsters.
(I omitted myself because i doubt they even know who I am. My only contact with the club was through the then marketing/liason team a few years back to offer the club access to my scrapbooks and they put me in touch with Don.)

I had no doubts that Don is a nice bloke and hugely informed Nicola.

I wasn't implying you thought anything else. I just wanted to point out he his better placed to do the role than I am.

No need for bridges if you think things through like the Dutch.

Looks like a bridge for boats.
Just near the lovely harbour town of Enkhuizen in Holland there's a one of those that's also a lock for boats! I believe it's called a naviduct
Cars go under, boats go over and up/down
Yeah, I have driven over that (or, under that, more like), going from Zwolle to Texel (a lovely part of the world, I have to say).Just near the lovely harbour town of Enkhuizen in Holland there's a one of those that's also a lock for boats! I believe it's called a naviduct

Texel is a splendid place

That's why it was built that way, alot of masted ships pass that way and it was cheaper than building a tall bridge.

Or building a mobile one, like the one in Rotterdam that swings entirely out of the way, when an old-fashioned masted vessel goes past (which is a marvel of engineering, I have to say).

They have a ferry boat that acts as a bridge in lefkada. Only trouble is they limit the amount of traffic and boat traffic.

Don't, you'll end up down a rabbit hole like me, it continued with me watching planes landing in windy conditions but by the end I was watching videos on Junctions that aren't used on the M1 anymore

An underpass. Gosh, I'd never have thought of that; wonder it hasn't been used before. Or has it?

There's a nice piece on the BBC website about Hillsborough Survivors, with a focus on Forest. Well worth a read.
My dad was there, a fully qualified first aider. He was 'forcibly pushed back' from the pitch by a copper. When he asked why he was not being allowed to help, the answer was "because I effin' say so".
Football clubs have good and bad amongst their fan base, and Forest are certainly not one xception. I therefore hope that any chorus of "sign on" the next time we play Liverpool (or Everton) is countered by jeers from the majority. Read history, Thatcher was into 'managed decline' for Liverpool back then, more recent Tories have the same approach to Nottm and elsewhere. Boris Johnson called Nottm "Marxist". Singing that sign on song is as nuts as a 14 year old from Barnsley calling me a scab.
The FAB minutes are interesting especially the discussion on the future of the WFCG. It has been said on here that"nearly all" Forest fans want to stay at the WFCG. The Supporters Trust offered some data that essentially demonstrated a three-way split. Where did they get that data from is my question?
Clearly the club have their cards very close to their chest, and not just for commercial confidentiality reasons. for a better and larger stadium on the present site Rushcliffe will be difficult to persuade (Tory Councils are in my not inconsiderable experience far more difficult and less forward thinking) so I do wonder if there is more to the "keeping our options open" approach than meets the eye.

My initial suspicion here is that they pulled it out of the arse of the bloke with the mustard-coloured trousers.
„Three-way split“?

There is also this in between Coevorden and Nieuw Amsterdam near the German border - lovely part of countryJust near the lovely harbour town of Enkhuizen in Holland there's a one of those that's also a lock for boats! I believe it's called a naviduct

I think the roads on either side of the canal are one way so the junction allows traffic to swap between sides if needed...

It's shortened the length of tunnel that had to be dug by not going the full width so saved a load of cash. Also I think it's the shortest aqueduct in the world

As with most of these types of studies it will be from a tiny sample size, if it is even genuine data at all.
If it keeps getting repeated on here that its a 3 way split though then that will become people's perception.
Perhaps we need an updated vote on here to put it to bed before it grows legs.
