I told you that their YouTube updates on 'The Bish' are absolute comedy gold mate!

You did mate, I never imagined they would be that good though 🤣😂

Belting post on scabsnet this morning which says:

“You have to drive round Tesco’s car park to even see the Subbuteo stadium, at least ours towers over our wonderful town.

Last time I went to the Pro Tic Tac stadium or whatever it is called, I nearly knocked Linda over in the car park carrying her weekly shopping, fortunately the only damage was a packet of mini rolls and we laughed it off”

Wonderful town? What drugs is this lad on? 🤣🤣

Of course the only vantage point of the ground is from the Tesco car park, absolute gold. He must be generally perplexed at what that large structure is that you pass as you drive down Sheffield Rd, you know the one with the large car park and the building with that huge badge on and the signs that says celebrating 150 years and SMH Group stadium.

The most amazing part of it all, is that they actually believe what they write!!

Im mean that video of 'The Bish', the bloke in charge creams the highlight of the 'development' as having a gutter and drainpipe!!! the toilets resemble a dungeon underground where there is barely room for people to pass as some go down and some go back up, its about wide enough for one person. The roof at head height, the space that does 'nothing' at the top, creaming about a retaining wall..... yet a they try to take the p*** out of a relative new build, modern stadium, that the FA deem fit to stage international fixtures on an annual basis.....incredible stuff!.... in not sure how to describe them, but I know how 'Lenny' would have described them....... and at the end of all that, they still dont have a four sided ground, merely a three and a third sided!

The 150 years celebrations that happened 9 years ago. Are they leaving it up to change the 5 for a 6? It's surely time to take it down.

The best they can come up with for ours is its a soulless bowl (its not even a bowl let alone soulless!), on a retail park (its not), out of town (its not) and its hiding behind Tesco which is about the only part right thing as it is from one bit of road. Feel Ill is not a million miles from what Saltergate was when we left and we all know even if a few took some convincing that moving was the right decision. They know deep down they would love something like the SMH but it seems redevelopment will just mean a half arsed attempt at a stand that is laughable.

It really is incredible that they believe the guff they write dont they, they tell themselves the same story over and over again in their own heads, they believe it! theirs is at the side of a site that resembles a retail park far more than ours, that and the stained nappies hanging from the washing lines on Lord Street.

I always find it amusing that they seem to forget the stands behind either goal don’t even run the full length of the touchline and only have a few rows, and the West Stand is basically the old racecourse stand with a few new seats and a bit of cladding added!

Field Mill always looked to me, like a three sided bus shelter situated in a down and out dump where even the rats don't own up to be residents.
My wife once asked to go Christmas shopping there and it turned out to be the cheapest day out since I took her sunbathing at Ashover rocks. She got bored after passing the fourth charity shop without taking a breath.

I think you lot are being very cruel.

I mean, how generous is it of our little neighbours to go to all that time and trouble so even more local Forest fans unable to get Premier League tickets will have summat to do on a Saturday....?

His name is Syd Pepper. Don’t know if he still does but he used to own Arrowmax Engineering at Shirebrook along with other businesses.

The FA wouldn’t even consider staging an England game at Feel ill for fear of dysentery but they choose to play at Chesterfield on a very regular basis basis, this makes it quite clear who has the best ground
Is there any truth to the rumour the stain are changing the colour of their shirt from yellow to red to try and entice more Forest supporters from the area into their pit

Makes his money in Derbyshire and scuttles over the border to get excited about a fence and a burger van.

Their looks like what it is - 3 sides built on the cheap after their chancer owner sold off some land, and a small half pitch length bus stop built in the 1920s and given a luck of paint.


No concourses behind the stands at each end, rubble and scrub land beside the non league style former main stand.


A crap stand in a crap ground in a derelict crappy concrete town.
