The World Famous City Ground - Home of the PROPER WORLD‘S OLDEST LEAGUE CLUB

[Professor Wolfgang Schnell BSc. PhD.]

I'm surprised it's looking as good as it is.

All the extra Europa games plus all the women's games too.

At least we didn't trouble it with any FA or League cup games...

I was thinking of a pontoon bridge yesterday made from boats. I had't realised though that the Trent was so shallow around Trent Bridge - just under a metre to just short of 3 metres at it's deepest in normal flow.

I know that it's only a few feet deep around Clifton Bridge, but I never realised it (normally) can be as shallow as that around TB.

Looking at the query, AI might have inferred the depth from the Clifton Bridge depths.

The Trent doesn't sound Trent Bridge doesn't sound like a good place for swimming. Gov Water Testing at Trent Bridge

Yet it took the police 4 months to find a car in the Trent at Wilford Bridge.

Sadly it's one of my better ones Prof

Well I got the opportunity to laugh at it twice, so job's a good un.

We might have to borrow some canoes or kayaks for the edges from the rowing club.

Nah - the new Trent End made them all blow away

Watching the birds play on YouTube, the pitch is not looking the best.

Pitch took a battering after the FC Midtjylland tbh.

The survey is nearly complete. 867 bats have been interviewed so far. They’re aiming for 1,000 to make sure it’s statistically significant.

My mother has just said she was not interviewed yet, so that’s one they’ve missed.

The planning portal says the determination deadline is today but I'm not sure if that's an auto-populated date (set number of weeks from submission).

This is the programme submitted with the application. Planning committee date (which would be the approval) targeted for mid-May, and then the Section 106 agreed by the end of June.

Love a good excel Gantt chart.

 

[All I want is a boat]

In all seriousness, it would.

The local government here absolutely do not piss about. The road that bisects the end of the street I live on has recently been skimmed, resurfaced and repainted, and is now designated as a „Fahrradstraße“, so a road where bicycles have priority.

On the other hand, how many years (and personal tears for me) has it taken to build the new A1 bridge over the Rhine (Lev to Koeln)? Makes HS2 look positively speedy. The grass [edit] is not always…..

Can anyone remember the time a "pleasure" boat crashed into Trent Bridge? I have a feeling it was on the day we were playing Leicester.

According to the report into the crash of the Nottingham Princess, it was November 15th 2002. If that is the same one you're thinking of we played Bradford City at the City Ground the next day beating them 3-0.

 

[All I want is a boat]

That sunken boat from last year probably crashed into the bridge in the high river before Christmas, mind you it had already capsized so I’m not sure if that counts.

Got a free ticket to the darts last night... jesus please never let drinking in seats at the WFCG become a thing at football....

I thought the same at Take That a couple of years ago I’m telling you, a load of pissed up middle-aged women having nothing on us.

 

[sammy the snake]

Oh good God - I refer the honourable gentleman to the saga of Darren Pratley and Peter Whittingham.

And now the twitch in my f***ing eye is back!

 

[sammy the snake]

I do, but sometimes I read other posts and think that reminders would be helpful.

New stuff will be flagged as such, but right now (a) I can't say anything, and (b) there's nothing new to add ... yet.

Yes I am sure. It’s a form of therapy!

I presume you mean the women.

I presume you mean the women.

Is the term “birds” a problem? Probably it is increasingly so (e.g. I wouldn’t use it at work, but I would do with mates), but the females on the forum could add more perspective.

You happy for the row in front of you to be dressed as Minions though?

I’ve been called a lot lot worse

Personally, it doesn’t bother me but it is all about context. In this case, it’s totally harmless.

However, if used in a derogatory manner intended to offend, berate, trivialise or humiliate then probably wise to use a more neutral term or, even better, don’t post at all.

No defo meant birds, during the womens game there were pigeons on the pitch im assuming eating some seed whilst the game played on.

Was a bit surreal to see birds like that on the football pitch, like seagulls in the outfield at cricket when someone strokes the ball for a 4 flying off when the ball comes near.

The penalty areas looked especially bad.
