The Swiss Corner pub attached to it was ok in the old days. Met a few pretty girls in there.
It's possible to have great times inside of awful buildings but it doesn't redeem the buildings.
The Keirby was ugly and atrocious from conception. The sooner it's torn down the better.

It didn't take 50 years for the Keirby to look dreadful. It looked dreadful from the day it was conceived.

I’m no engineer but surely it will be at risk of collapse at some point? Wouldn’t the owner be forced to do something about it then?
Parts of the building might drop off (windows etc) but structurally it should be solid. It'll be a devil to demolish most likely.

Being able to see this sordid behaviour at a distance shows it up for what it is. They might feel like they're doing something brave but surely 99% of fans can see how pathetic it makes Forest look. Although I can say that I've never spouted an "anti-Burnley" conspiracy (although there certainly is ...

R*vers would be in desperate trouble now had they not won at Leeds, given their difficult run in.
As it stands, they're 3 points above the drop zone.
So come on Owls.
Typical dirty leeds to foul up the whole show.

Hi Steve1956 I didn't post my honest advice earlier. My honest advice would be that the evidence for supplements is going to be mixed at best.

I'd be surprised if we manage to stay in the fight before the penultimate game.

I would only say forest away Luton at home and Villa away are games that the poor decisions by officiating has cost us.

No one in this thread has said ‘it was never in support of BLM.’ It clearly was linked to them at the very start. Now it isn’t.
