As a Notts fan it's not something I'm interested in and it does bring out the scruffs from both sides but I'm pleased for kids. It's well priced for families and I appreciate with the cost to watch you guys and availability it's good they can come and watch local teams play

Oh dear, this reminds me of that one Forest v County Cup game that happened in 2011 and that I missed, despite actually being in Nottingham for the only time in the last 24 years. :(

How did I manage to have the only couple of friends in Nottingham who'd scoff at the idea of going to a football game? :ROFLMAO:

Unforgettable night, that! For the match of course, but was also the night of the nationwide riots. I had to leave the match early, as I often did for mid-week fixtures then (was working full-time nights) only to find when I got to town, the little scrotes had put our windows through and we were all sent home anyway. Was raging that I missed the penalties.

I made a right twat of myself that night…

Stood in line with about 15 others to get the bus home (wasted) outside Coach & Horses on Upper Parliament Street. I saw some blokes on some scaffolding next to the pub and thought they were rioting/looting. I shouted something like “don’t start ya shit round here ya low life bastards” etc etc etc...

Next thing – 4 blokes (built like brick shithouses) came down from the scaffolding and told me there were working nights and like rioters would wear hi-viz vests so STFU!

Yeah – good one Gaz.

I just stood there like a wet lemon hearing folk in the queue calling me a w**ker!

I blame the Stella...

Funny how I don't remember the riots at all, maybe just a faint memory of hearing about it in the news.

Shame about you missing the penalties though!

Pre Season so far
18th July - Notts County
22nd July - Blackburn
26th July - Vitoria Guimaraes
31st July - Sporting CP
12th August - Bayer Leverkusen
16th August - Stade Brest

Also due to play in a mini friendly tournament against Udinese and Barcelona in Udine - Not announced but looking at the gap it will likely be on 6th-8th August.

Potentially 8 games seems quite a heavy schedule - 8 games in 1 month.

It's more like four when you factor in most players will only play 45 mins for most of those and it will only ramp up in minutes in the last few.

I don't care how many we play, can we just score more than one goal this preseason please?
