What a waste of money. Celebrating a common criminal. Again. This is the same bloke who's responsible for the Nottingham Eye, which would be quite a good idea if there was actually anything of interest to look at from the top.
And who's going to want to eat a crap meal in Robin Hood's bollocks? Not I, everything'll taste salty. Here's a hint for Mr Mellors: restaurants in tall buildings don't generally work. See the Post Office Tower and St. John's Beacon in Liverpool.
Why doesn't this bloke put his money into something useful, like Nottingham Forest's proposed new 45,000 seat stadium? Which may look just as daft when they're playing fourth division football. Hey ho...

I think there's something desperate about clinging to legendary figures for your tourist industry. I remember seeing a TV programme back in the 80s called Living Legends which went to some pub that had this mangy old cat carcass framed above the door that they were claiming was Dick Whittington's cat. Still, Nottingham has some way to go before it gets as bad as the villages around Loch Ness.
Do Forest really have Robin Hood as their mascot? Still it's better than that stupid hound that Celtic have. He looks like the boring cousin of that one off the Banana splits.
Unfortunately that is Forests's mascot. They've changed it to that recently to coincide with the BBC's new Robin Hood series. The series flopped, rather like Forest!
The mascot was better when it was Sherwood the Bear. He was a randy bear, he goosed a lady I know during a behind-the-scenes tour. That's probably why he had to go. And he used to wind-up away supporters.
This Robin Hood twat throws sweets to the kids in the away end. What's that all about? Typical Hood, always thinking of the less fortunates.
"He looks like the boring cousin of that one off the Banana splits"
I like that. Fleegle's boring cousin. I used to work with a woman who looked like Bingo (the gorilla), they had the same mouths
Surely Celtic should just parade a giant cuddly Pope for Old Firm games? I'm sure the 'Gers fans would love that. Ho ho!
I know someone who used to be Aberdeen's mascot, "Aberdeen Angus", but he got suspended for doing the "I can't hear you" cupping the hand round the ear gesture to traveling St Johnstonefans after Aberdeen had scored. I guess you have to be a role model for the kids.
These mascots are rubbish. The thing is, Celtic are always coming out with merchandising on the "Lisbon Lions" 1967 European Cup team. Lisbon Lions this. Lisbon Lions that. Lisbon Lions, Lisbon Lions. So, when it comes to choosing the animal for the mascot, they choose .... a dog.
The problem with stuff like Lisbon Lions is that FORTY TWO years after the event, it looks a bit daft.
Rather like Forest celebrating thirty years since they won it. The replica shirts this year have an inscription round the badge. Which isn't really going to get up the nose of any opposing team, is it?
But, having said that, I suppose any club whose won it has a right to shout about, eh? Ho ho! We won the EUROPEAN CUP. TWICE! WHEN IT WAS STILL A COMPETITION FOR CHAMPIONS! Unlike Chelsea, Rangers, Arsenal and Newcastle bastard United, the so-called 'big club'.
