I'm sure all members of this forum (except perhaps Frankie!) will join me in wishing Salisbury City the very best in tonight's FAC replay at the City Ground.  |

Think me and Malx are in agreement that we're going to need any luck going!
Still, a day off work and a beer or 2 up north this afternoon. And another big pay day for the club - we might finally have a complete 4 sided ground next time any of you visit!

Cheers for the good wishes. The adventure starts soon - in fact DaveT should be on his way to the Pub within minutes...  Problem with 4 sides to your ground is you don't get the TV cameras panning the hungry dog who wants to the eat the ball when it goes over into the field. A great loss to the Nation....  Anyway, we're travelling with hope, more than reality. Certain SCFC fans on this Forum are realistically looking at us getting a drubbing on telly. I'm not that pessimistic. I'd settle for a 3-0 loss!  |

There's some great pubs in Nottingham.
Have a great day.

Come on Salisbury! And if it all goes wrong, you've got me and Woking to look forward to on Saturday... ... Hang on, maybe looking forward's the wrong choice of words... |

There's some great pubs in Nottingham. Have a great day. I'll vouch for that! Just need to take it to penalties. Win 9 - 8 on penalties. That's the way. All the best chaps.  |

Best of luck Salisbury, it's the same league difference as when we went away and beat Crewe 1-0, so it's definitely possible.

I'm sure all members of this forum (except perhaps Frankie!) will join me in wishing Salisbury City the very best in tonight's FAC replay at the City Ground. Not at all, good luck to Salisbury. I think they've missed their best chance though but, if they were to win tonight they'd thoroughly deserve their victory. |

I didn't see any of the match as I was watching Sutton grind out a tedious 1-0 victory at Corinthian Casuals in the Surrey Senior Cup.  But our match was so riveting I took to listening to some of the Five Live commentary from the City Ground. Sounded as if Salisbury made a real go of it. |

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Salisbury City
A defeat but not a bad defeat considering the league difference between Forest & City. Didn't catch the match today (super-urgent chemistry homework.) How did Salisbury play?

Still, a day off work and a beer or 2 up north this afternoon. I thought by the time we reached Coventry we'd all agreed that Nottingham is the 'North Midlands', or thereabouts?!  At any rate, it was definitely a day off work, and definitely beer too, it seems. We had limited time, but loved our brief time there, visiting 'The Bell' [dated c.1420, but the cellars are prob. 13th C.] where the beer choice was excellent, but we were besieged by a Groundhopper. Then 'The Salutation' [building dated c.1240 and complete with at least 2 resident ghosts. Plus caves inhabited from the NINTH Century, it seems!]. Another Beer Pub, though not really trying hard enough just now. Barman was Notts County and wished us VERY well! Then the famous 'The Olde Trip to Jerusalem', literally built into the walls of the Castle, and purporting to date from 1189, though the building's nowhere near from that age. Cracking atmosphere in the building, cuffed only the slightest glancing blow , amazingly, by the Greene King Corporation. I've only felt a building's 'Genius Locii' more in about a dozen edifices in my life, I suppose. More decent beer, apart from the IPA, I'd guess.... Then the "VAT & Fiddle" near the Station. So-called because it was a former Excise house. Nice people, and cat; a real living thriving Pub, attached to a Brewery, of all things! The Castle Rock Brewery. Good murmurings from the non-drivers. Good murmurings too from those fine Notts people who tasted the Mighty Whites available there too... [sorry Sutton...  ] We missed the "FMC" Pub due to time constraints, but DaveT assures us that it's worth checking out sometime. Football was okay as well! ;D |

Too late to say good luck  so I'll say instead: well done! Sounds like a Tinpot Tour to Nottingham during the summer may be an option... |

Now THAT'S a match report! Noticeable that the one time Malx is able to report with clarity on our day out and the 'places of interest' visited is when he was unable to partake in beer due to very generously offering to drive us! Cracking day, from a couple of early morning pints of 'Mighty Whites' celebration ale in the Anchor & Hope pre-pick up, through to last orders in the Vat and fiddle. Only been to Nottingham a few times (first time for football) but I like the place. Also impressed myself with my ability to guide us round during the afternoon pretty much purely by instinct! We lost over the 90 minutes (can't argue that Forest deserved the win, but to push them that close and still be in with a shout until the last few minutes of 180 was a great achievement) but takes nothing away from the good memories. Proud of the team on the night and throughout a great cup run. I love the FA Cup, me. |
