Sell out Forest v Derby

Only cos I'm working tonight and had a hospital appointment at six, save me going home for an hour or so to come back to Truro later, cheaper to go flicks and kill 3 hours than use a tenners worth of diesel ?

Kick off soon and only 4 pages, shows the interest on here! I, on the other hand am sat outside the cinema waiting to see the new Tarrantino film.

Hope still for Bury, 3 new bidders?

The Undertones - Jimmy Jimmy

Limahl - The Never Ending Story

Tupac Shakur - Picture Me Rollin'

Brilliant result but Aussies lost it by "wasting" their last review. Shame ????????

Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

Nights rest and a new ball, think the Aussies will have to much for us unfortunately. Hoping not though.

I got a Majority branded one for the telly, decent, just over £40

Was it not Premier Lodge?

The Clash - Train In Vain

Clean sheets are a good start, just need to score a few now ?

Ian Dury and The Blockheads - Billericay Dickie

Stereophonics - Local Boy In The Photograph

Van Morrison - All Work and No Play

Cheers chaps ?

Just to add ? I'm now going to walk the dogs round to my local pub, which is a "Destination Food House" and despite a recent refurb, good reputation and decent Trip Advisor feedback, it is empty for 5 months of the year except for weekends. People's habits have changed, going to the pub is not the number 1 on many people's choice of entertainment. Sure my beer will be very good at £3.80 for local cask beer. Foster's is £4.20 and San Miguel is £4.85 not many people could afford to drink every night.

Generalisation. The costs of running a quality establishment are phenomenal and the margins low with many other businesses after a slice of the cake. You can get a beer in the coffee shops in town nowadays.

They're all closing mate, good and bad, I came out of the trade 4 years ago after 25 years. Hard game at the moment for so many reasons. There's always gonna be some busy places because of location etc but these will be the exception rather than the rule. Sad to say but the traditional British pub is on the endangered list.

There's pubs and there's pubs though, fortunately they are not all like that but the choice of quality places is getting smaller.
