Is Lincoln the ground with the Stacey West stand? I think it was there I went for a pre season friendly, all the Forest fans singing "who the fick is Stacey West?" And it turned out it was a couple of fans who'd died.
The only other time I went to Lincoln was to buy some grow lights for an indoor tomato plant. It was a shithole.
Yes, that's slightly unfortunate (and a little ignorant on our fans' part). They are the surnames of two Lincoln fans who died in the Bradford fire in 1985.
I couldn't remember if Stacey West was one person or two names, but it's the latter having checked.
Two Lincoln fans who died in the Bradford fire - William Stacey and William West.
That is sad, and I don't mean to be critical about a nice gesture, but they have clearly missed an opportunity to call it the William Stand (William Wall? Billy Bank?)
I like Lincoln, quite regularly go to the spoons in an old cinema nearish the ground. Also a few years ago had the opportunity to go to the house of a former chairman of the their club from the seventies (possibly coincident with Graham Taylor's time). Which came complete with indoor swimming pool and bar, and snooker room, in a wonderful seventies appointed folly. The only problem with Lincoln is that it's a ballache walking down from the cathedral with dodgy knees. Steep fucking hill indeed.
Call it The Billiez shirley…
Stacey West are two surnames of Lincoln fans who died in the Bradford fire diaster. You terrible person.
EDIT: Gibbs-White England etc.
The only time I’ve been to Lincoln was to watch Forest in a preseason friendly. Kevin James was playing but don’t remember mocking dead people. Don’t think I’ve been to a pre season game since.
Apparently the EFL has rules about forward financing, which means that as well as not having their parachute payment available next season due to the loan taken this season against next season's payment, Leicester also can't count it as income. League rules say that they can spend no more than 60% of annual revenue on all player costs, including transfer fees, agent commissions and salaries, or be subject to sanctions including points deductions and transfer embargos.
Good luck shifting some of those massive salaries as well as finding new players while fitting in that structure, and staying within the rules. They appear to be deeply fucked.
It's a fairytale...
Burnley relegation confirmed.
Leeds hit the 40-points mark.
I really hope other clubs tell them fucking fuck the fuck right off in two years when the jangly buckets come out amidst an attempt to spin their cruel and unjust demise at the arse end of L2 as being just down that few years under Top and try to draw comparisons to Wednesday's and others actual mismanagement at the hands of one off chancers.
Leicester Mercury have done an analysis piece on where it went wrong for the city's football club.
There's a line in there which says fingerprint scanners had to be introduced at the new training ground (presumably at reasonable additional expense) because the players 'couldn't even be trusted to remember their ID passes'.
I wonder if Forest will keep them when we buy the training ground during the Fox-botherers' fire sale, as is strongly rumoured.
I’ve not seen anything at all credible that we would buy Seagrave. It just seems a wild assumption that because they will be skint and it’s near the Notts border that it would happen. It just wouldn’t happen for so many reasons.
Same here. I played 5 a side with a load of Leicester fans on Wednesday night, and they were all talking about it. As funny as I think it would be, I just can't see it.
