Re: Notts Forest: do you now have hope we will survive?

If, by some miracle, we do manage to survive then our form going into next season would be phenomenal and given that the current fixture generator system seems to put teams together at roughly the same time each year I think we would need to be.

Re: Let’s make Turf Moor a fortress again…

Re: Fridge experts?

What if your ave kitchen temp is 90f+ ? Does it work the other way? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work the way , the fridge just uses more energy to keep cool.
