Chapter 55: Hodge’s Honor Part 2

The 43rd round of league matches was on April 19th. Nottingham Forest played against the fourth-place team, Reading, in an away match.

"What a struggle this match has been! Nottingham Forest has had to deal with the constant resistance of the home team at the Madejski!"

"John, can this be right… why would an away team have to deal with constant resistance from the home team? Are you suggesting that Nottingham Forest has made this their home ground?"

"Stephen, you are right. Yes, Twain's team has made this their home ground!"

Listening to the commentators on the radio, James Landy hit the horn in his cab. "Good job, Tony!"

The frowning passenger in back complained, "Stop pressing that thing. I can't hear the match!"

"Oh, sorry, Sir. Are you a Forest fan, too?" The road ahead was wide with very little traffic. Landy casually talked over his shoulder to his passenger about the match.
