Enjoy your cup final while it lasts iWas. I don't think we're gonna be in the same division much longer!! (you'll note I didn't say who is going in what direction
"Finningley is a village ... Historically part of Nottinghamshire" - Wikipedia
Robin Hood Airport is in an area that was historically Notts anyway (it was part of Retford district when I grew up). Perhaps we should push to remove reference to Doncaster and Sheffield and reclaim the airport for Nottingham!
There is also a lot beyond Robin Hood that Notts can sell of interest (Lord Byron, DH Lawrence, Newark castle and the civil wars last stand etc...). But best of all, and given this is 606, CLOUGHIE!
I think it is funny when anyone tries to say Robin Hood is not from Nottingham. i mean every piece of historical evidence written down refers to him as from Nottingham.

Historical evidence my ar$e...A fictional character told to kids along with the tooth fairy, father christmas and god.
Spart ..... I am disgusted, offended and rocked to the core by your disgraceful outburst!! You should be stoned to death in the market square!!!
How dare you say Santa isn't real!!
Spartacus "Nottingham has no more claim to the Robin Hood legend than Derbyshire or Yorkshire." then you go on to say "A fictional character told to kids along with the tooth fairy, father christmas and god".
Now stick with an argument mate. Your last point is spot on, it's a story, not real. Those stories refer to Nottingham, get over it and stop bleating. Now, what's wrong with promoting a legend associated with your town? Nothing. You'll be asking for Disneyland to be torn down next.

Oh yeah, haha. The first bloke is wrong, you're right. Still nothing wrong with Nottingham exploiting our legend. The hilarious thing is Doncaster making such a big fuss.
