Apparently the sheep are building a new training ground according to this newspaper headline:
"Wayne and Coleen Rooney get something to bleat about: Farming neighbour of their £20m Cheshire mansion plans new shed housing 200 sheep".

I’ve been bought up to support Forest by my dad…. the first match I went to see live was in the 1990-91 season, I was 9 standing in the trent end with my dad it was Forest v QPR division one…. Brian Clough was the manager and I remember Nigel scoring from the spot to make it 1-1 and have been a loyal supporter ever since…. I maybe mistaken but remember going to Wembley the following year 91 to watch Forest win the zenith data systems cup beating Southampton by 3-2 that was the time a young lad called Andy Marriott was in goal to replace the injured mark crossley.
Looking back I always remember my dad calling Forest (Notts) Forest and never thinking it was disrespectful to the club…. I used to think back then when I was a kid that Notts was just short for Nottingham…so why is it frowned up on these days?

I think it just comes from N#tts is an abbreviation of the county damson and Nottingham is the city mate.

Just read a little write up on majewski, i always had a soft spot for the kid, creative, hard working and scored some cracking goals for us. he's just about finished with football now. Wish you all the best in the future young sir 👌.

Jolly forester, I went to that final. You got your money's worth, extra time, Scott Gemmill scoring with a few minutes to go. Pearce getting injured after 16 minutes, and I thought Kingsley Black played great that day. I brought the video of the final, still have it.
But the journey home to Nottingham took ages. You could smoke on the coach then, me and my mate got threw twenty fags just getting back to Nottingham.

I agree Kingsley black played a blinder in that game Red Tan…. it’s definitely a game I will always remember as I was there with my late father…. we was sat next to Andy Marriotts grand parents that game they came across as really nice people…I wonder what happened to Marriotts career after he left Forest.

I don't know about Marriott's career after forest, like Middleton goalies get a raw deal! . I used to work as a supply caretaker for schools in Nottingham, one day Steve Chettle came to do a skills course with the pupils, believe me I was the biggest kid there that day. It was great.

Steve Chettle was a great defender he always gave his best and stayed loyal to Forest…. one of the best players to represent Forest IMO…Red Tan I think Steve is the manager of Basford united…. googled Andrew Marriott and he seems to have been a bit of a Journey man since leaving Forest.
