Small world. Great festival in those days

Reading Festival 96 - Frank tossed Little Frank into the crowd right in our direction. My mate leapt like a salmon to claim Little Frank, only to let go on his way down, bounced off my head to be claimed by someone else. So close but an epic fail

@darrenhaynes.bsky.social popped up on fb - our 1st away game

Nice chilled evening down the San Sirrel. Just the sort of relaxing evening I needed

Tbf Matt, we're Champions League on this one

Incredible restraint

He claimed to be a Notts County fan, until Forest got to the play off final. Odious man

Harold Shipman, Notts County

🤣😂🤣

After the game we probably spent a few hours in the Centenary club!!!@

75/6 season but late on. I always thought mine was a game v Southampton but having checked the fixtures I now believe it was the FA cup match v Arsenal (Jan 77), i can remember u getting Malcolm McDonalds autograph and the Arse players wwving to the crowd before the game. Oh and we lost

It was on itv 4 yesterday morning so should be on catch up itvx. Its very Nottsy

Tirana is a nice city. We were there the night Albania beat Italy in a WCQ. Utter bedlam

Caught many bullets in the subsequent years tho. Great to see Arthur Mann's thatch in full flow

Just caught up with Notts v Blackpool on the Big Match Revisited from 1976. Recall being envious that my brother @darrenhaynes.bsky.social got to go to this game but i was too young apparently. Given the calamatous performance of Notts back up keeper Frankie Lane, looks like i dodged a bullet.

Its very big in Eastern Europe , weve regularly been to Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and Serbia but not Poland yet

I keep nagging my son's taekwondo coach to enter the Polish Open but i guess im going to have to not rely on that to get over there

They should do one with pics of great moments or players throughout our history rather than current players who dont stick around

Hi Tom. Off topic slightly but is there a team in Rzeszów? My Grandad was born there

Track off the first Clash album i think

I saw him at glastonbury in 2003 and it was magical

Dont think Isobel ever recovered from this

@darrenhaynes.bsky.social simple minds doc on iplayer

Thanks for taking me out bro 💪

Inevitable, sadly. They only appointed him when a few turned them down after Luke and the results as caretaker were decent. Bit like Chris Kiwomya at Notts

They are very poor

The landlord at the navi must have paid about 3 grand for that kit. He didnt pay upfront but weekly, which he did for about 5 years!!!

Imagine the reaction when the local bar thought it a good idea to play "Weve got the whole world in our hands" by West Bridgford FC European Cup Team

Netherlands Tour with Trowsers FC 1999 - could write a book about those few days, but id probably be sued

Im trying to remember the last Notts manager/head coach under whom we'd have won a match like that. Nolan on a good day maybe? Derry? It seems we've lost those kind of matches for a long time
