That’s Cobblers as in Northampton Town, of course, not the ability of the defender in question who is, of course, Luke Chambers. We’ve long been linked with the 21 year old Northampton captain, and obviously Smoulderwood will know more about him than the majority of managers out there, having worked with him there before taking [...]

Forest face Doncaster Rovers tomorrow in the last ever fixture to be played at Belle Vue (aka Earth Stadium) where we’ve enjoyed a pretty good past record – as recently as last year, well, this year in March, we beat them 2-1 in this fixture – although probably our most spectacular result there came in [...]

.. my sneaky sources inform me that should the old desk that Nottingham Forest kindly donated to the statue fund reach £1,000 then the fund will pretty much hit the £60,000 target set all those months ago. So those of you with a few Christmas pennies left to spend, click on this link and be [...]

Doncaster’s ‘Belle Vue’ stadium (officially ‘The Earth’ stadium) is perhaps the most ironically named football ground in the country; Belle Vue of course, is French for “beautiful sight” – and a beautiful sight it most certainly ain’t, it’s best described as a hovel – and it’s a hovel that will be no more once we [...]

I’m not sure if anybody noticed, but our forthcoming FA Cup opponents Charlton Athletic (or should that be Charlton Arthritic as I’m sure Stress and Pie would call them) lost at home to League Two Wycombe Wanderers in the quarter finals of the Carling Cup last night. Wycombe overcame Notts County in the previous round, [...]

Of course, I could be being outrageously paranoid, but some of skipper Ian Breckin’s uncarefully chosen words do hint at something I’ve suspected [...]

Former Forest, Derby and Villa waster Gary Charles is behind bars after failing to control his self-confessed alcoholism. The twice-capped rightback flirted with prison after attacking a woman in a taxi-rank earlier in the year – and was warned that any similar types of offence would lead to a spell inside. Instead he had a [...]

It’s been confirmed that friday night’s “Clough Aid” gig raised more than the target of £2,000, and combine that to the cheque from LTLF for online sales and donations from supporters the fund is just a tantalising £2,500 away from reaching the £60,000 target. Given that there are numerous items on eBay raising money for [...]
