I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Probably down t' caff wi' Compo and Cleggy, recovering from t' shock wi' hot sweet tea.

 

Well done Terriers. See you in t' Premier league. I'm a Brighton (Seagulls) supporter and listened to t' commentary but had t' turn off for t' penalty shoot-owt.

"G..G..GRANVILLE! Fetch yer bike. I'm goin' t' buy you a new b..b..bell on H.P. so's we can cebrelate in style".

Yes I've finally recovered from the excitement,terror and sheer nerve shredding of yet another penalty shootout.

we've just got back from seeing the team on their open top bus ride. Stood out in the pouring rain with 10,000 or so other fanatics ( numpties).

wembley is a wonderful stadium but the road system around the place and the traffic management is woeful. You drive around what are mainly industrial estate roads, one minute you're heading away from the stadium then half an hour later you're passing it again going in the opposite direction. That doesn't half take the edge off the elation.

We took 106 official coaches and a good few unofficial ones and they all stopped at Leicester Forest East services more or less at the same time an experience not to be repeated. But a good day out and the Terriers will be taking on the big dogs next season.UTT

Rog.

Well done, Town, bet that penalty shootout was no good for the nerves, though!

True enough Pliars. It's the only time for years that I have stood up to watch football. When they went 3-1 up I thought that was it. When it was all done and dusted my 10 year old grandson was weeping buckets of joy.

Having taken him to the match and to see the open top bus thing he's now discovered that he can get his picture taken with the trophy tomorrow. Hey ho it'll create memories for him so why not😍

Delighted  to  hear  that  a  certain  Bristolian  has  successfully  had  heart  surgery  &  is  reported  as  recovering  well.

Gary  Mabbutt  is  a  favorite  of  mine  since  he  has  always  told  the  world  that  he  has  Type 1 Diabetes  and  has  spent  much  time  helping  children  with  the  same  problems  to  keep  playing  sport  !!

Have'nt been on for a while, my team Nottingham Forest managed to secure Championship safety on the last game of the season. Was a very emotional afternoon but thoroughly enjoyable, especially as it was the last match I would see as a resident of Nottingham

Living in the caravan at the moment until our annexe is built at the property we have bought with my daughter. Only thing is my next door neighbour just up the road is Burton Albion FC, so I am sure we will be taking in a couple of games there.

At last we got rid of that idiot known as Fawaz, looking forward to the new season and have renewed our season tickets at Forest

Just caught up with this, Brian - yes Gary Mabbutt is a great example to all younger players of just what can be achieved.

I'm old enough to remember his dad, Ray Mabbutt playing for Rovers - a very versatile player, must have played in every position for the club including taking over in goal the day Bernard Hall sustained the injury which ended his career.
