LTLF is an independent website and discussion forum dedicated to Nottingham Forest Football Club. It was launched in 1999 and has operated under various guises since then. In the summer of 2006 updates on the main site ceased but the majority of the site's content is still available as an archive and the forum continues to thrive with over 2,000 members. During the 2005/06 season LTLF also launched a fanzine, each issue of which is now available to view for free on this site.

In January 2007, several LTLF members clubbed together to make a humorous banner for the Reds' FA Cup tie against Chelsea. The banner subsequently received a great deal of local and national press coverage and also featured on the BBC's live match coverage.

| A short history of LTLF |

Design #1 - Our first design way back in 1999. A fairly simple
design but we all have to start somewhere.

Design #2 - In 2000 we got ourselves a proper design, with frames
and everything!

Design #3 - Our design for the 2000/01 season was our
most professional yet, with news and match stats on the front
page.

Design #4 - The 2001/02 design saw the site turn attention from
regular news, to articles and features.

Design #5 - LTLF goes from strength to strength through the 2002/03 season with
more satirical content.

Design #6 - In 2003/04, the site becomes the leading independent Forest site,
picking up awards and widespread media coverage.

Design #7 - The 2004/05 site, complete with news coverage and a new logo.

Design #8 - In the 2005/06 the LTLF Fanzine was launched and the design of the site was tailored to promote this. Sadly this was the last season where the main site was updated and the following year the site became centred around the forum.
