    Are Forest abusing FFP rules?

    Bingo! Or when the rich benefactor loses interest or the sky money evaporates etc.

    Are Forest abusing FFP rules?

    Matt - I think you're missing the point of FFP. My understanding of it is that it was created to stop clubs over spending and over extending - and by doing so will avoid clubs going out of business by speculating on promotion. So if we are complying, we "win" no matter what. We'll have a club...

    Where are all these Barcelona players?

    You've answered your own tiresome question.

    Are Forest abusing FFP rules?

    Or perhaps our sugar daddy has spent far more than he originaly intended (stadium was supposed to be funded by bank borrowings after all) and doesn't want to shell out £10m a year. I suspect he wants us to run on a sustainable basis - where owning our own stadium guarantees us a decent revenue...

    Are Forest abusing FFP rules?

    Teams like Forest and Watford will find a way to work round the rules and teams coming down from the Prem will have parachute payments. If you're in one oif these groups you'll do well - if not, you'll be a Championship second class citizen. I suspect that's where we'll be - and I'm not unhappy...

    Oscar's new signings... something's wrong

    Didn't Barber already say that we were keeping our powder dry until the Prem teams confirm their squads of 25. I doubt we're just sitting on our hands waiting. Its just that those responsible have had the temerity not to inform you about what they are doing!

    The must-have albums of 2013

    Released in Dec 2012 so not sure it qualifies as an Album of 2013, but I am loving The Defenestration of St Martin by Martin Rossiter. Lots of high quality tracks but this should give you a feel for it: R5qDXWFqf_c Seems hes a Brighton boy as well.

    Which Banks in Sussex have a coin counting machine thing?

    Wise to check. Dumped a load of shrapnel in machine at Saino in T Wells yesterday and was charged 8% and it spewed out a Saino voucher! Felt like I'd been mugged.

    Your favourite place in Sussex?

    How about Woods Mill near Henfield?

    Your favourite place in Sussex?

    I've taken favourite place to mean favourite view. Agree with lots on here so far - there are blimmin' loads aren't there. I think Cuckmere Haven needs a nod: The Ouse valley viewed from the end of the garden at The Griffin in Fletching is beautiful. Hamsey Manor viewed from the road passing...

    Alan Partridge - Alpha Papa

    Have always loved Partridge and this didn't let me down. In the same region as Hot Fuzz - home grown and parochial, and all the more enjoyable because it wasn't overtly pandering to a US audience. Will probably go again because there are so many gags. Great fun.

    Pork Pies - Would they survive a 24-hour flight ?

    Erm. Confused now. Not enough said! :cool: what do you know?

    Pork Pies - Would they survive a 24-hour flight ?

    How about rolling the freezer bag and food into one neat solution? Freeze some of the pork pies - say four of the twelve (having wrapped them individually in foil) - then pack them en mass with the unfrozen in a zip top polythene bag. The frozen ones will keep the unfrozen ones cool and will be...

    The whole thing still stinks!

    It's bending the rules. Within the rules but far, far from the spirit. But when was a football club last run for anything other than money? Frankly it stinks. A promotion place that would have been filled by a team who do play within the rules will be taken by these people. Disgusting.

    At this stage last season

    Agree with all of the above. The elephant in the room might still be missing out in the play offs when we had possibly our best chance of promotion for many years. A lot of people are still pretty raw from that. Add the feeling that clubs coming down each year from now on will be richer than...

    Mill Road Park & Ride. First and last time.

    Not true. We lived on Shirley Drive for a while and one side of the road was coned all the way from Old Shoreham Road to the shops at Woodlands Drive. Other roads between Hove Park Road and Shirley Drive were also coned off.

    Mill Road Park & Ride. First and last time.

    I used Mithras which is great. Only wrinkle is queuing to leave. I understand why there is a queue but dont understand why they load one bus at a time. I dont mind waiting but I resent queuing next to a row of empty buses in the rain! Small issue really - I've taken fans of other clubs to the...

    Andrews for Barnes - why?

    Andrews into midfield so that Buckley could go up front. Best finisher at the club so worth a try but couldn't leave midfield light. Effectively the substitution replaced one striker with an alternative one.
