    4-1 scumerpool. Hate them but they did us a favour today. Next week they can do it again by losing to us!

    Chicago: Hopelessly optimistic.

    Take the cash benefit, and give it to 'mericans?

    Surely if ever there was an argument for ground share it was Manchester. Two teams with equally huge support (legacy, glory and tourist) that never play on the same day. Both could sell out 100,000 seats for a home game and Super Andy Burnham could wank himself silly sorting out the transport. It seems an insane waste of resources to build two stadiums of identical purpose near each other just so one can have red seats and one can have blue.

    With yer modern technology, and that, they could have seats that changed colour depending on who was playing. And Burnham could have his monorail.

    MONORAIL.

    [On the other hand, picture the reaction if it were decided that the way ahead was a 40,000 seater stadium shared with Notts (red seats turning black & white, plus a system that automatically inflated 25,000 - let’s be generous - moaning old gits for County days so it didn’t look half empty. I vaguely recall a shared ground idea being (apparently) under serious consideration at some point, albeit a long time ago. 80s, or am I just going senile?]

    Wasn't the Queens Drive stadium vetoed by Clough going to be shared?

    Don't know where Queens drive is, but the proposal was for the electric avenue development along the river opposite Wilford.

    --Edit---

    Yes, that indeed is queens drive.

    40,000-seater stadium, with 10,000 mini-stadium bolted on (similar to Headingley/Cardiff Arms Park) for County, stiffs etc.
    Ideally, have an artificial pitch on the mini-stad so rugby, hockey etc can also be played there (would need FA to rethink it's ban on artificial turf)
    Perfect site would have been County's current location, up to the canal, with the cattle market and vacant land right up to the Trent opposite WFCG, expect some flats have gone up there in recent years... Keeps virtually the same location (so not damaging local industry) and the iconic River Trent views (albeit in opposite direction), but is nearer to city centre/station and puts Forest actually in Nottingham.

    I remember Eddie Grant was sad.

    Also, I don't know if its a still a thing, but if you type 'Electric Ave Nottingham' into Google the little map highlight that comes up is textbook schoolboy lolz.

    I hadn't heard anything about this, I would put it down to me not paying attention but internet commentary seems to think they've kept it well under wraps until now. This lad was very highly thought of for a while and linked with top flight moves:

    Only 12 months for that?
    Hopefully he never gets paid to kick a ball again.

    It sounds like there is at least a degree of mitigation.

    Mate of mine works doing Opta for QPR. Says he's been really good for them this year and that this is huge in their relegation fight.

    It's pronounced "Shy-ear"" not "Chair" (you said it wrong in your head).

    There's still a big gap to make up, but Leeds spanking Leicester makes it look like less of a coronation. The gap to 3rd if Ipswich win tomorrow is down to 6 points with 12 games to go.
