    My mates colleague is a caterer. He works for forest sometimes. He says they always pay late and this isn't out of the normal

    With the ground being council owned maybe they've been hit hard by the spare room tax??

    If this is true how many years has it been since we paid a catering bill?

    And why did no one mention it when it was A?2m, A?3m, A?5m...?

    Unless it is suggested that our catering bill is c.A?5-7m a year??

    We sent the money, our manager brought it in cash on the day!

    I'm not on the wind up, I'm just reporting what my friend told me. He works at a golf club who also employ a contractor who has done work for Forest.

    We're not talking years, it's more like 2-3 months after the work has been done. They do get paid, but it's very poorly run business. There doesn't appear to be any organisation. I hear they don't have anyone to run the 'club'.

    It was just a complete misunderstanding.

    Derby were offered payment in camels but preferred pounds sterling.

    Just a sandstorm in a teacup.

    Here's me thinking they paraded 14 donkeys around the pitch for 90 minutes.

    Didn't realise it was an offer of payment
