    Lets not get carried away, people were paying for it rather than stealing it and I didn't hear any racist outburts towards the staff.

    At West Ham on Sunday they weren't allowed to take in water bottles more than 500ml (only with tops off even then) so kids were having their multi use sports bottles confiscated.

    By half time they had run out of water at the bars so couldn't even buy it when you were inside.

    And we pay to be treated like that.

    Forest have started being more strict. On Saturday, pre-Bournemouth, they sent out an email saying only bags A4 or smaller would be allowed in. Really hate that. It's just because they are so shit at the turnstiles these days that they are doing it IMO. Many times I have, for example, got the train to Nottm at lunchtime and worked in a cafe before an evening game. What do I do now, as my laptop and bits won't fit in a bag that size. I get they don't want people taking in 50 litre rucksacks, but I think they're solving a problem that didn't exist. Other clubs do this and charge a crazy amount for a bag drop. Cost me £10 at Spurs to leave my modest backpack in a tiny tent with 2 teenagers in charge of 'security' around it. I'd just got off the train and was staying over the night.

    Left luggage at the station?

    Interesting choice. He's probably as good a manager as they could get but has he already burned any goodwill?

  • 27 May 2026, 1:42 p.m.

    Not even sure there is one at Nottm is there? And I'll be surprised if it's open at 11pm for my train back.

    It was rhetorical really. I just won't be able to do that going forward. First world problems and all that, but it's annoying.

    It’s just a money making scam under the guise of ‘security’. A recent visit to the O2 and similar stupid policy, but you can leave bags for £10. And it stops as many people taking small drinks and snacks in so they can charge 5.50 for a Pepsi.

    I managed to get a small tote bag in with a few snacks in for the kids but had to be insistent that it was happening (policy said you could have A4 size).

    Let’s be honest, they didn’t seem too bothered about the security as thousands of people were all huddled together whilst waiting to get in. Or people packed into in the busy bars and restaurants.

    Forest stepped up security as the national threat level was increased.

    Rumours Citeh have been found guilty of 95 charges and face a 50 point deduction next season.
    But rumours around Citeh have been doing the rounds for three years.

    50 points sounds conveniently like an almost relegated but possibly not jeopardy for TV.

  • 27 May 2026, 5:16 p.m.

    Minus 50 would have taken them down this season. Not convinced Maresca will outperform Pep, good as their squad is.

    You did well they don't allow any edible or drinkable stuff in unless you have a note from a doctor normally.

    I had 2 crunchies in my coat pocket earlier this year that I'd forgotten were there from football and they binned them.

  • 27 May 2026, 6:02 p.m.

    It should relegate them. They would have needed 12 more points than they got this season. Hell of an ask with a new manager and, presumably, quite a few players who will look to leave. You'd think this would make Anderson think twice too - you're probably writing off two seasons of your career and going to have to play in the Championship in the year leading up to the Euros.

    I wonder if they'd lose their CL spot? Probably not if the deduction was for next season.

  • 27 May 2026, 6:40 p.m.

    I'd just like to point out, if there is any veracity to this stated scenario, that suggested punishment is woefully inadequate.
