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

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.
