Notts County. Nottingham Forest.
No one ever calls them "Notts Forest" ffs!
Nobody ever?Quote:

Sounds about right. They went up through the playoffs. They're a decent Championship team with a good manager. They're going half a dozen quality players.Quote:

BTW, whether referring to them as "Notts Forest" is right or wrong, I have definitely heard them called that before.
Why's that the case though when Sherwood Forest is not in Nottingham? - its in Nottinghamshire.Quote:

Even modern day pundits like Jamie Carragher call them Notts Forest
they've got 5 key players on loan last season that will need replacing or re-signing first, that will chew through half of that £100m potentially
There's no crime or shame in calling them Notts Forest. But it's Notts County. Nottingham Forest. The abbreviated "Notts" County is the actual name of the club.
People generally call them Notts Forest only to wind them up…. Or to provide some variation from the popular and timeless ‘Scabs’!
Nottingham County
Nottingham was originally called Snotingham, the nomenclature relating to a chieftain called Snot.
The home of Snotty Scabs?Quote:

It's a no-no in Nottingham, and you are liable to getting your teeth knocked out :biggrin:Quote:

But they were managed by Scotty. He doesn't seem the sharpest tool in the shed to me.Quote:

So should they have spent less?Quote:

He has apologised for referring to them as NottsQuote:

Forest fans hate being called Notts Forest, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't 😁
On their transfer kitty, I wonder how Cooper will cope with having money to spend.
All the more reason to call them Notts Forest :ayatollah: Although I make a point amongst peers not to. It's a bit like saying Atletico Bilbao, still saying Czechoslovakia or pronouncing the L's when ordering pints of Estrella.Quote:

Could be a good shout on loan. Any Wales player not playing regularly needs to be forcing a move this summer.
they're also being linked with anyone feasible from cooper's england U17 teamQuote:

I think Bastoni is meant to be Ben Davies' replacement. But you're right, he needs to move on.Quote:

They. Want a good goalie not a Championship one
The name is from the original ground - the Forest Recreational grounds which are a mile or so north of the city centre, nothing to do with Sherwood Forest.Quote:

Yes, it is Nottingham Forest. However, here are some facts: -
Nottingham Forest play at the City Ground, which is in the County.
Notts County play at the County Ground, which is in the City.
