I'm confused. Back in Victorian days when people were much smaller they desired rather plump ladies, now that we are all obese we like skinny ones. Anyone care to propose a theory on that?

How terribly sexist . What is your score prediction please?




PS. Like wine I prefer full bodied.

Forest sold 6,500 . It must be regarded as their cup final.

As expected, the late surge in tickets today, we've now sold over 7,000 in the home areas and with tickets going well I'd expect that to end up nearer 9 or 10 thousand by kick off.

Ironically with the well publicised poor sales and a side of the ground shut it should be one of the biggest attendances of the season at Ewood, obviously boosted by a massive away following.

The sales are looking better with a lot of late sales this afternoon. I was at Ewood an hour ago on a roundabout way back from a former work colleagues event at Northcote Manor (sadly not drinking but the food was divine) and picked up a ticket for a friend in Garstang….the tickets were selling well.

A shock 3-2 win for Rovers back in 1986 in our last cup encounter with Forest at Ewood. Brian Clough turned off all the lights in the coach on the return journey as punishment.

George Courteney! Forever entwined in the Rovers fortunes around that time!

 

[Drog]

1-2

 

[Husky]

Is there any TV coverage of this?

Apart from the penalties at West Ham I have not seen one minute of live coverage of the Cowabunga cup!

Cannot see us beating big club Nottingham. So without seeing the teams I will go for 1-2.

13 mins and we could have been three down. Forest profiting from our mistakes which are all too frequent. Mola looks about as good as George weah's cousin!!!!!!
