• Nottingham Post published Nottingham Forest to appear at the High Court

  24-01-2016 22:41
  
  Nottingham Forest are back in the High Court tomorrow. It is unclear the reason for their latest appearance on the Companies Court Winding Up List, with the football club number 120 on the list from 10.30am on Monday morning. Forest escaped being wound up in the High Court back on June 22 after settling a tax bill. A year before this a petition to wind them up by Le Bistro, a subsidiary of stadium caterers Elior, was dismissed after they settled a £200,000 bill. But it was...

  Sitting in the waters of the River Tees, next to Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium, there is an unmissable presence, in the form of a 236 metre long ship. Visible high above the stands, even from within the confines of the ground, the future of the 96 metre tall North Sea Producer remains in limbo, with the former oil producing vessel no longer fit for purpose. Half stripped and rusting, it looks something of a sorry sight; once an imposing craft, but now little more than a relic of the...

  Those people who have been shouting for Dougie Freedman to get the sack ought to be eating a bit of humble pie right now. Don't get me wrong, it's inevitable that at some point he'll get the boot from Nottingham Forest. Managers will always get the sack in football, it doesn't matter who you are, whether you're Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, Louis van Gaal at Manchester United or Dougie Freedman at Forest.

  It was a fabulous result for Nottingham Forest at Middlesbrough. And it was a tremendous performance. You can only do that with a team effort. Everyone played their part. You have to give Dougie Freedman credit for the way we set up. We find it hard to score goals. We've got players who are not really prolific goalscorers. But we've also got players who are very good at keeping clean sheets. And as I've said time and time again, you need to build from the back. That's what we're...

• Nottingham Post published Blair Adams rues missed chance in Notts County defeat

  24-01-2016 19:00
  
  Blair Adams felt he could have been a game-changer for Notts County as he reflected on an early miss that proved pivotal in defeat to AFC Wimbledon. The defender made a return to the first team following his loan spell from Mansfield Town and nearly had a dream start when he hit the post with a diving header. Moments later, Tom Elliott gave the Dons the lead with a stunning 25-yard strike, before Andy Barcham wrapped up the visitors' win late on. And Adams pointed to his header in the...

  Nottinghamshire duo James Taylor and Alex Hales have one more chance to cement their place in the England Test side as the final match of the four-game series nears a conclusion. Hosts South Africa put themselves in a dominant position over the weekend and head into day four with a lead of 175 runs and with nine second innings wickets in hand. First, Quinton de Kock took the game away from them with his maiden Test hundred on Saturday at Centurion. The 23-year-old was dropped three times...

  A man who lives above the taxi office that was gutted in a Stapleford fire has spoken of his escape. The large fire broke out at Happy Cabs on Derby Road at about 10.45pm on Saturday, January 23. It left the office gutted and flats above unsafe to live in. Firefighters helped rescue children as ten people were evacuated from the blazing building. Gary Mellors, 50, was in one of the flats and fled the building with his dog, three-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Sky. He said:...

  A beloved statue which has stood overlooking a Hyson Green street for more than a century is being kept safe in a secret location. The figure of the Old General was moved from its position in the window of the Old General Pub, in Radford Road, as developers moved it to transform the site. The building is currently being turned into three shops and eight flats and the 120-year-old statue has been repositioned – leaving residents worried it had been destroyed. But the developers' agent...

  When Jamie Fullarton was unveiled as Ricardo Moniz's successor, the Scot was keen to emphasise that a trajectory towards success would not be a straight line. There would be ups, there would be downs, and there would be afternoons like this when games are nothing but teeth-grindingly frustrating. It wasn't hugely impressive by any means, but then again Notts County were not overly bad either. They just looked like a team still trying to come to terms with the way their manager wants to...

  You may have seen Rebecca Grant on television in the past. Possibly as a Filipino nurse, perhaps a Moroccan goddess or maybe as an Indian slum-dweller. All roles the Mapperley-born-and-bred actress – best known for playing Daisha Anderson in Holby City – believes were awarded to her based on the colour of her skin. Finally, after nailing down a race-neutral in Midsomer Murders, she hopes it could lead to more opportunities. "I've always been cast in these roles that are...

In front of 605, the Reds created the best chances throughout the game but had to wait until the 81st minute for their winner when Lindon Meikle produced a calm and assured finish from six yards to wrap up three deserved points.

You give me these stats, but I don't look at it that way.

  Dougie Freedman believes Nottingham Forest's 'unbreakable' sense of togetherness and team spirit was at the heart of their impressive 1-0 win against high-flying Middlesbrough. Jamie Ward's goal – the first Boro had conceded at the Riverside in ten Championship matches – was enough to secure three points for the Reds and extend their unbeaten run to 12 games. With Michael Mancienne sitting in front of the back-four, Forest starved the home side of opportunities, limiting them to...

  If there is one item of outdoor gear that divides opinion then surely it is walking poles (or trekking poles, as some prefer to call them – but they are the same thing).Developed from ski-poles and made telescopic, they first appeared in the UK in the early 1990s and since then have been acknowledged as a standard item of a walker's equipment.At first, the idea was often dismissed but our Continental cousins – especially those in mountainous areas – knew a thing or two about...
