With all due respect mate - Notts Forest doesn’t exist and Nottm County doesn’t exist - it’s Notts County and Nottingham Forest - I know people don’t really care about that differentiation but having spent a huge part of my working life in Nottingham I can assure you that those guys n gals care, and they care big time - the rivalry may not be as openly acknowledged in the media as other more high profile and aggressive ones are, but it is certainly there - and they both hate the misuse of ‘Notts’ - especially as it’s so easy to get right - Notts County represent the county of Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Forest represent the city of Nottingham - easy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Oh FFS ! talk about a whoosh moment ! Thanks for the chapter and verse reply ! II know damn well that they don’t like being called Notts; that’s why I do it ! Forest fans are amongst the worst sets of fans known for callling us “Bristol”, and refuse to change. I therefore will continue to call them “Notts” whether you or they liked it or not ! OK ? 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the debacle of tearing down the Edward Colston statue, you can’t rewrite history ... Comment liked if I ignore the last sentence! Pulling it down is now also part of history but probably best not to get into that on this thread! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 When we conceded six there, I really wasn’t that concerned, that’s how lethal they are in front of goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How strange - but fair enough although I’m not sure how you will annoy any Forest fans by calling them Notts on here ... and I don’t think it was a ‘whoosh’ moment because plenty of posters on here call them Notts Forest - obviously in error rather than trying to annoy Forest fans ... it’s a common misconception throughout football Edited May 3, 2022 by BS4 on Tour...

We don't hear "Sheffield" very often though, when people speak of either Sheffield club. Same with Manchester.

Same with Manchester. To me, it seems to be only us / the fewers It’s because people know the two clubs from those Cities. It annoys me, but the comments always are well I don’t know Bristol Rovers (from people who support Prem teams). Fair point, but still annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Camsell’s 59 goals for Boro in the 1920s remains though. How much has each Mitrovic goal cost Fulham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goals have taken Fulham up twice so for a £22m outlay he has greatly assisted £250-300m coming into the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relevance is, how much he cost, how much his wages are, and how could any other championship club afford him without regular parachute payments.

You're right actually, it's not particularly relevant to your post. I guess I was posting about Mitrovic being too good and very expensive for this division, and I can't get enthused about him scoring loads of goals in it! It'll be interesting to see if he's able to up his game for the Prem, unlike last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
