We lost the game after that little Brazilian striker of theirs scored. I can distinctly remember Steve Chettle trying to play him offside but got it completely wrong and the guy scored a winner when he got put through.
I mention it because I often think about how utterly devastated I was at the time seeing Forest lose a home game. It just didn't happen then, or hadn't happened for quite a long time at least. A bit different to today unfortunately.
Mirandinha?

I would have liked one of those red barriers that are piled up in the picture I wonder where they all ended up.

Was there no away end in those days then Joe?
Not really, I remember the Everton Fans in the famous match which we won 3-2, were in the East Stand Terrace towards the Trent End, I was in amongst them, crowds were mixed in those days.
Not sure when it changed to designated areas.
Potential carnage. Or was there no such thing as a hooligan in the 60's?
Didn't the Forest hooligan element start with the Trent End boot boys during the skinhead days? Would that be late 60's early 70's? I do recall as a kid hearing stories about stabbings taking place in the Trent End. I was maybe 9 or 10, so around the beginning of the 70's

Not sure of the date of this lovely photo but it's the Bridgford End at the City Ground.

I can't see one person without a hat I would guess it's from the 1950's and the photo was taken in A Block!

Bet they were all wearing suits and ties too. How the appearances of fans has changed over the years.

The remains of Nottingham Forest's Main Stand after the fire in 1968.
It looked nasty was anybody on here there?

I was in the middle of the Trent End, you could feel the heat on your face.
Very vivid memory for me.

I was an excited 18 y/o watching from the Trent End. Even more excited when we went onto the pitch and danced around on the penalty spot.
