How does this category differ from best away trip? Well, if your historic city centre has been overrun by chain pubs, become the stag party capital of the United Kingdom and enjoys the distinction of hosting Britain’s only branch of Hooters, then the positioning of the stadium in the opposite direction of downtown certainly helps…and as the egregious Tory Kirsty Allsopp would say, it’s all about location. The Trentside aspect of the City Ground, a venue for European Cup semi finals, just across the way from the cricket pitch and a little down the road from the bargain basement Meadow…

The Thursday Preview: Blackpool Vs Nottingham Forest
Speaking as a fan of a club that’s just been relegated, I am more than relieved to see the back of this season. It’s been an utterly forgettable campaign; one so full of misery that I’m physically struggling to muster the enthusiasm to log on to the messageboards and the like these days.

A recent post wondered whether their latest manager Jim Gannon would be able to keep them up, but survival is surely out of reach now that George Boyd, their best player, has effectively moved on to bolster Forest’s faltering promotion hopes.The signs have been ominous for a few weeks now. Impressive as it was, Peterborough’s 3-1 win against Ipswich was tinged by an eruption of bad feeling between the management and the playing squad’s ‘holy trinity’, Boyd, Craig Mackail-Smith and Aaron McLean. While the latter was restricted to a six-minute jog-out from the bench,…
