Sure, Nottingham has it's less salubrious areas, but so do most large cities, not least the fair city of Sheffield! But yes, - we did give Forest a hell of a beating! rather you than me bud.

This victory is for you Robin!!!!!! True, that Jack. Its now Normandale house. Loxley was part of Sherwood forest as well.

Brommers Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 2 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Lord Byron and DH Lawrence are fairly well known...but then so is Harold Shipman. Thought Byron was from Hucknall. I maybe wrong but there used to be a pub there sporting his name when i worked there occasionally in the mid nineties. Now that place is a poo hole.

Trent Bridge is a brilliant cricket ground - had some great days there. I like Nottingham and I actually don't mind Forest. One of the best away days in recent years was Notts county in 2012. But I'm still buzzing after yesterday's win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could find something nice to say about leicester if you thought hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
