I wouldn't call Hemel a non entity @Malone, the insult 'big clubs' use about us! All clubs are important in their own way, they claim 1885 as their foundation date. I go there two or three times a season.
Anyway, here are our PMFL matches against The Tudors, thanks to Dave Finch.
1969-70:
27 Jan H W 1-0 (Horseman pen)
1 Apr A W 2-1 (Faulkner, Searle)
1970-71:
3 Nov H W 6-1 (Hutchinson, Delaney, Pritchard, Baker, Bremer, Searle) Att: 875
3 Mar A W 4-2 (Baker, Faulkner, Horseman, Searle)

I'm considerably younger than @glasshalffull and I can't remember what matches I went to last month. Different people store memories differently, but hey, have a poke if it makes you feel good.
I’m glad it’s not just me. Individual games just blur into each other. I have no idea either way if I’ve ever seen us play at Hemel but I did review Shakin Stevens for the local rag at the Decorum Pavilion.
I've only been attending games since 2007...but I remember Stan Collymore scoring a fantastic goal at Selhurst Park for Forest if that helps. I don't think the Reds ever played Hemel.
Hmmm...I suspect your memory is playing tricks there @Lloyd2084 as he had left Forest a few months before Shooting Stars began and a good three years before he was assaulting the beer glugging weather presenter.
'You're going down with the Leicester...' was the only chant that mattered that day.
I’ve been tortured for days by “Sherwsbury” and “relagation” - the misspellings, not the possibility of a direct connection. I keep mum nowadays. (No quips please. Mother departed this mortal coil 76 years ago!)

Man buns? Like Chelsea buns or is that just a wind-up? Having said that, I’m not sure if they comprise a spiral of sticky dough or concentric circles.
Sorry old people, I was referring to the appalling fashion prevalent amongst footballers of all Leagues two seasons ago...now not so common (John Marquis aside)...of an Edwardian beard and long hair tied up in a topknot (or man bun). Nothing to do with baking or stickiness...but may cause vomiting.

Does it involve any sort of upper body strength? I'm no @Fit2drop
I saw Elvis Costello at the Hemel Hempstead Pavilion in the 70's. He did 'Miracle Man' from his debut album which was reputedly about Tony Horseman.

@Steve_Peart i learnt the phrase from the great man MON.
If it's good enough for him it's certainly good enough for me

I seem to recall Stan didn’t enjoy the chants of ‘Ulrika-ka-ka’ ala Shooting Stars that day.
Oops, posts blurring into each other now as well as matches...
I meant when Stan turned up taking on the Valley one evening. Possibly a friendly but the mind plays tricks as my previous posting proves.

Hang on there @Wendoverman
What about this?

Maybe it’s only the heavy defeats I remember!
ah yes...when having burnt his bridges at Forest, then having burnt his bridges at Liverpool he went on to burn his bridges at the Villa..
Careful or you’ll have Mr.Harps on your case!
I've just noticed that Shrewsbury is spelt incorrectly.
Ops!
Just noticed? It's played havoc with us spelling gurus from day one.
Almost as bad as chas harps style of mocking someone then using the wrong version of there.

@micra, agreed. Everytime I read those, it sends a serious shudder.
Like face tattoos. Man buns and teenagers from Aylesbury talking like They is just come from downtown Jamaica...i try not to judge. Innit.
Man buns? Like Chelsea buns or is that just a wind-up? Having said that, I’m not sure if they comprise a spiral of sticky dough or concentric circles.
We could only hope they weren't real.

As one of the sorry old people I am grateful to my honourable friend for that clarification.
