The death of a football club is a sad thing, but yesterday I saw it happening, my club-Nottingham Forest where brought to there knees against Plymoth Argyle. We have no money, a manager who balives that we need a miricle to stay up and players who don't care.

I know that many of you won't care about this, but to me, and the 29,000 supporters who turned up yesterday it means a lot. About 10,000 left before halftime, it was so poor, people who where lured into buying season tickets by the clubs promase-'Where serious about promotion, are you' where throwing the season tickets to the ground. One man even tore of his shirt and threw it at the manager.

The worst thing is that we didn't even fight-I have no problem if we lose or go down fighting, but we didn't even want to play, we didn't want to be there.

NFFC has been around for over 100 years, where nearing 150 years as a club but today has to be one of the saddest days it's ever seen.
