    Never been to the City Ground but the rivalry was fierce at Anfield.

    Notts Forest got promoted in 77 and won the league in 78, an amazing achievement. Cloughie was a great manager always good for a sound bite as well.

    Dev is angry because we call Notts Forest by their abbreviated name correctly, he'd prefer us to use the one he made up but that ain't gonna happen.<grr>

  7. Notts = Nottinhamshire

    Nottm = Nottingham

    They are called Nottingham Forest; aka Nottm Forest.

    I've pointed it out a few times <ok>

    Well I've been around a long while and I've never heard them referred to as Nottm Forest. How do you even say that?

    Notts Forest <ok>

  9. Nottingham! Its not shortened to say, just written. No such team as "Notts Forest". Shortened version is "Forest"

    When in Nottm it's Nottm, when in Liverpool it's Notts.

  14. You will all be wrong then :)

    Nottm is a city. Notts is the county, hence Notts County.

    It just a colloquialism used by us and not Mansfielders.

    Notts Forest
    Notts County

    Makes sense to me...

  18. You are right, the county (Nottinghamshire) is Notts. But that isn't Forest's name. Its Nottingham Forest, shortened to Nottm Forest but still pronounced Nottingham Forest. Feel free to google it fella's :)

    On your logic, how would you pronounce Utd?

    There's absolutely loads of links to Notts Forest in the Google search.

    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=notts forest&start=80&norc=1&cad=h#q=notts forest&start=110

    Maybe you Nottinghamshire peeps have got it wrong for all these years.<grr>
