The new Left Back podcast from Left Lion, featuring myself and Rich Crouch representing LTLF, is available now. What with all the palaver over the Trent this week, we and regular Notts County correspondent Jacob went head-to-head to thrash out all the details of local football, including what Tord Grip will do for money if the Pies go out of business, why Jeremy Clarkson wants to ban Forest fans from Top Gear, and a Leicester fan who showed us her good points. Download it or listen online here.
LTLF will shortly be launching a Forest Art section of the website, where our visitors can buy quality prints and original works of art relating to the mighty Reds. We already have some great work lined up, but if you’re an arty type with a passion for Forest we want to hear from you. We don’t mind if you’re a painter, sketch artist, sculptor, cartoonist or even a photographer, if you’ve created something you think other Forest fans might be interested in hanging on their walls then get in touch.
If we like what we see then you’ll get new exposure for your work and the chance to make some money from it. There’s also a possibility of your work being published in a forthcoming book (but we can’t say anything more about that right now).

Today is a special day for two reasons. First I actually remembered that it was the anniversary of the launch of LTLF. And secondly, it’s the 10th anniversary no less!
So, many thanks to the innumerable people whose contributions have helped keep this site going and developed it since I began it a decade ago, not to mention the tens of thousands of people who have passed this way and all the great posters on the forum.
Thinking about it, I really should have prepared some kind of ‘LTLF – This Is Your Life’ retrospective article, but perhaps that can wait for the official birthday bash next month (see forum for details). In the mean time, we can now look forward to LTLF growing into a petulant teenager over the course of what will hopefully be another decade as successful and enjoyable as this one.
Billy Davies has been doing a fair amount to endear himself to the fans recently, with exciting signings, straight talking and – most importantly – three wins on the trot! Maybe this was because he knew he would be facing the Nottingham public on 26 November at The Approach, scene of many a great ‘Audience With’ events in recent years.
The event will be hosted by 5 Live correspondent Darren Fletcher but the majority of questions will be coming from the floor – if you want to be among those there, enter our LTLF competition to win a pair of tickets by answering the question below.

Soccerprint, who do a great range of customisable Forest t-shirts, are giving LTLF readers the chance to win a £20 voucher to spend on their site – just what’s needed to cheer yourself up after two disappointing home defeats. To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is answer the simple question below by midnight next Wednesday (30 September).
This competition has now closed. The winner was Kevin Reidy.
LTLF’s Rich Crouch takes the floor and I struggle to get a word in edgeways as he discusses the season so far, tries to predict the Ipswich result like Derren Brown and reveals his new showbiz friendship with Luke Chambers. The Left Back podcast from Left Lion also includes stuff about Notts County, an interview with comedian Mathew Horne and some local musicians.
Congratulations to the LTLF ‘Reds on the Run’ who completed the Robin Hood half and full marathons yesterday! Running in their Southbank Bar sponsored kits and raising money for the RNID, the team put in a fantastic effort with some début marathon runners and others carrying injuries into the start. Check out our results and photos below!
The Southbank Bar, as the official sponsors of the LTLF Reds of the Run team, will be offering a novel incentive to our entrants in the Robin Hood Marathon – a free pint!
Nine runners from the LTLF website will be taking part in either the full or half marathon events this Sunday and if it all becomes too much of a struggle they will at least have something nice and refreshing to look forward to at the end of the race.
Plus after months of training and watching their diets, a beer or cider is the least they deserve.
On Sunday, September 13, the LTLF Reds on the Run team will be dragging their bodies around the course of the Robin Hood Marathon, some tackling the full 26 miles.
Aside from a masochistic streak, we’re doing this to raise money for the RNID, the largest charity representing the 9 million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK.
The Robin Hood Marathon takes place in just under four weeks and LTLF is looking for budding runners to join its team of top class athletes have-a-go heroes who will be competing this year in aid of our nominated charity, the RNID (charity no. 454169), the largest charity representing the 9 million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK.
Typical. I do my first bit of media whoring on behalf of LTLF in years and even then Alan Fisher gets half the credit! But that’s nothing compared to what happens to my fellow guest, Notts County Mad editor Jacob Daniel, who nearly dies from swine flu during his spot, yet still manages to get his website’s plug in early – what a pro! Find out what it’s all about and get the low down about what the new season holds for both Nottingham clubs in the first edition of Left Lion’s Left Back sports podcast.

Fans are still waiting for a glimpse of the 2009/10 Forest shirts, but LTLF is all ready for the new season after its summer make-over. We’ve made several cosmetic changes so articles are easier to read and it’s quicker to find what you’re looking for on the site. But it will be business as usual in terms of our coverage of the Reds this year, with articles from fans, the best of the blogs, retrospectives on Forest’s history, funny features and much more.
LTLF invites members and their friends to gather for a pint or several at The Globe on London Road where from the start of the 2009/10 season we have exclusive access to the upstairs bar.
Last week members of other forums questioned why Paddy Power suddenly had several Forest related markets appearing on the site, some speculated that they could be the new Forest shirt sponsor after all why else would a betting company want to have special markets on Forest?
Read on to find out exactly why the specials have appeared!
