Next weekend

Ok guys, let's join in with the following...

There will be a pre-match commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Birmingham pub bombings which, I understand, will involve a roll call of the 21 victims of that night. I believe that at least one family of a victim of the bombing will be there, so I'd be really grateful if you could pass it round the Forest fans that a bit of respect for that would be really appreciated - perhaps the hostilities can begin at kick off!

Some things transcend football.
Our immense away following should share this.

It was quite a major terrorist attack and Brum being one of three clubs located in the city, along with the Baggies and Villa, are an important focal point for the community so should always take the lead on such things IMO.

There should be upwards of 4000 Reds there on Saturday I would expect and I'm sure the roll call, which I believe is being read out at half time, will be properly respected.

It's a 40 year anniversary, Red for 50 yrs. I would've thought that'd be enough reason.

I was in the Army at the time I remember this well just before Christmas when all the pubs were packed.

Also the culprit's have never been caught. As those originally convicted have subsequently all been acquitted on appeal after serving considerable terms in Prison.

A really vicious and nasty crime, we should all respect this.

RFB, just because they were acquitted on appeal doesn't mean they weren't guilty.

The Police seriously screwed up the matter because of dubious methods of obtaining information/evidence.

Cstander do you seriously think the British Govt would ever let someone out of jail, let alone a terrorist, if they had the slightest inclination that they were involved in the crime?
You must be living in a dream world
