    Do you want Forest relegated?

    Just read an artical in DET with regards to if fans want the reds to go down or would you rather them in the Championship next season for another two local grudge matches?

    .....thoughts?

    I remember in the 70's when they got promoted and I thought that it would be nice to have some local derbies again. Look how that turned out. Plus the actual games aren't that enjoyable now, it's more like a war zone.

    yes yes yes

    Sure, we would lose 2 local derbies, but we would also lose them if we had got promoted.

    So how would anyone answer the question "Are you glad that Derby have missed out on promotion because now we get to play Notts Forest twice?"

    I genuinely don't really care, possibly because I'm not Derby born and bred. Got some mates who support Forest so, although I'd enjoy even more bragging rights I do feel for them. On the other hand it would upset Tricky and Romanis which can only ever be a good thing.

    We suffered at the hands if forest braggards too much in the dark days for me to have the slightest empathy with their plight. In my case Ramanag it is most definitely in my DNA

    Definitely, send them down to struggle in the lower leagues. It's an unnecessary distraction, better to be played every few years than all the time.

    Oh no. Like you I live faraway. I've seen the best and worst from Forest in my lifetime. There would be no culture shock if we went down, since it's already happened before.
    However if we did go down, it would wane my interest in footy, only looking out for results and the few games I get to catch in a year.
    There would be interest in other sports in the interim.
    I mean we've all grown up now, footy in the general sense of things is much lower in priority. Kids, wife, work, business and social are all much higher up than football.
    I dunno about Tricky but the Es*** lad, my he's gonna be pretty upset if we go down. You might want to focus on him.

    I don't live faraway, unless you call about 25 miles from Pride Park 'faraway'. Understand it being in Andy's 'DNA'...it's about where you come from and formative football years I suppose. Don't hate any teams - except perhaps Millwall - but because of my origins I tend to take more delight in MUFC's misfortune.
