Just looked it up, yeah allotments on the back of it, I can't remember going there, but ive done so many grounds i can't remember them all.
 
I used to love going to Notts County, one of my favourite places that.

I loved it mate, little boozer down by the canal, with Nottingham Forest just the other side....all within a stones throw of County. Tidy all seater ground, locals were friendly, pretty good all round mate. Can't believe they are in the National League now, must have the best ground down in that league.

I might have this wrong because i can't be asked to check. But I'm sure ITV had the footballing rights for live League matches before SKY. The reason I remember it was because my local newsagents, used to sell the Match Day Magazine/Programme on Sundays. I'm sure I remember from the magazine front covers, Liverpool and Arsenal being featured. Anyway some dickhead at ITV decided this wasn't going to work, then along came SKY....and as they say, the rest is history.

according to wikipedia, the first time live league footbal was tried was in the 1960, Blackpool v Bolton. ITV had a contract for 26 live games, but it went tits up because of Tottenham & Arsenal refusing permission

I'll cut through all the bolloxs, if someone said to me who do you think were the greatest British club in your lifetime, I would say Liverpool, merely because of their run from the 70's into the mid 80's when they became invincible in Europe, it was only that sad tragedy that put a halt to their dominance.

Don't get drawn in by all the bolloxs and marketing of the Premier League, some of the best football was played before 1992. You had Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley - not forgetting the players, Rush, Keegan, Dalglish, and the keeper with the wobbly knees!

Don't be sold with what SKY might sell you, football existed much better before TV, and a lot of todays generation never got to witness it but more take what their sold as a package for their big fook of TV's.

Man City, who were yer?
