With the 2023/24 Premier League season on the horizon, supporters can keep up with all the action from every game of the new campaign with season and monthly Forest TV passes.
A Forest TV monthly pass - priced at just £5.99 - allows supporters to listen to all of our first-team's Premier League and cup matches with live commentary from BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray
No Thanks I can watch every game here in the good ol' US of A for less than an Ingo t-shirt.
And because my new house is so ace I can watch in the back garden 'cos i got a new high speed internet deal. Sweet!
Pity we are suing the builder for deceptive practices which will put a dampener on me coming to the U.K. to negotiate the release of my comic hostages.
Chicago: Strapped for cash ready to make a splash.
I think Ingo is making the point that this TV pass actually seems to be for the radio ....
Besides, you forgot to mention the downside to your gloat, Chic; you have to live in Trumpton
Get with the programme Granddad he lost the 2020 election.
Chicago: Living in a blue world.
Is this the Hannah?
Possibly. Or not. How would we know.
Coopers press-conference today felt like he was setting the stage for Johnson to leave.
In what way?
I dunno. The words weren't particularly different. A slight change in tone? "He's a young player, of course other clubs will be interested, I'm just working with what I have at the moment" type stuff. I'm hopefully reading too much into it.

PS: Whenever Cooper calls a reporter by name it always sounds to me like he's saying hello to a mate who he sneakily drank 10 pints with last night and ended up in a strip club. "Hi Damien .... how are you?" [sneaky twinkle in his eye]

So I paid £339 in 1998 compared to £485 this summer.
Plugging into this: www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator says that £339 in 1998 is worth £626 (not sure if they have factored in the difference between watching Neil Shipperley, CiW and Craig Armstrong vs Awoniyi, Gibbs-White and Felipe).
Conclusion: Marinakis is far less of a cunt than Wray/Scholar/Soar but we probably already knew that.
That feels about right. I vaguely recall paying £200 when I was at uni, and that was 20 year ago, so don't think we can moan too much.
The real moan is that our wages haven't kept up with inflation. But we know about the reasons for that. Cunts.
I have a football friend who still wont say "Soar" without appending "arse" to it.
According to the inflation tool, back in 1985 when it cost about a quid to get into the trent end, the equivalent value is something like £3.04p. Inflation isn't the driver, it's the creation of the 'ship, and the clear intention to monetise the game. It's now a money game, not a football game. The football is just the widget that gets the cash through the door.
Sure but the mid to late 80s was the absolute low point of football attending. Of course they couldn't charge much. Heysel, Hillesbrough, Bradford and Bournemouth didn't come from nowhere.
Sure, and it's not just football...there are many other socio-economic factors that have changed the relationship between people, and business....and how that relationship is loaded. Back then, most football clubs were not businesses in that sense. They were dependent on their local communities for support and finance, as part of a cyclical symbiotic relationship. Now they are not. For me that is worth less. Not more. YMMV.
There were definitely things that needed to happen in football to turn it into a modern safe entertainment event. The move to that didn't have to be driven the way it was. I do strongly regret that communities have so passively ceded their stake in their community football clubs, and that as a society, through our governance, we made football the enemy, not embracing it as part of us. We don't believe in society, and the football community was sold down the river. It is now unusual to have a real tangible link with much of the staff at the football club of your perversion, rare to be treated as anything but a customer, having little to no say over the direction chosen by owners. Owners who don't really need you. Owners with no link to the community that birthed and nurtured the football club, and little real commitment to that club other than as a vehicle for prestige, the movement of money, and establishing a legitimate financial bridgehead.
The community has mostly become peripheral to the operation of the football club. That's not what football was built on, and it's not an emotional framework that works for me. I can enjoy and admire the football actions on the pitch but a lot of the important surrounding feels have gone. Why not watch 'the best' football on the telly from Saudi Arabia, when the actual relationship with your 'ship club of choice is actually, in reality, not that much different?
I'm planning on getting to as many Hereford FC games as I can this season. A club run by the fans, for the fans after Hereford United went bust. Still, £16 to watch National League North part timers is crazy.
