Plus they're already filling their stadium.

I don't know a single Notts fan who would change allegiance or even be tempted to set foot in the City Ground unless we're playing there. If anything, this will strengthen our resolve. I get that it'll be harder to attract new fans, but in my experience, the people who support Notts are either a) born into it, or c) the type of person who enjoys supporting the underdog and going against the grain (in my case it's both). Nothing will change there.

I'll add another reason - I converted a red from the dark side to the light in the early '60's when he complained that getting into the schitty ground and managing to watch a game was a big hassle. We were only schoolkids but I suggested he join me on the kop and he's never looked back since :)

COYP.

They just managed to squeak thru on pens, but fair play to them, that's what good teams do, get the job done. All down to agent Hudders now. Member when we beat Hudders 2-1 in the cup at theirs? Oh my, how far we have fallen................

Alot of mindless idiots on the pitch at fulltime with a Billy Sharp assaulted needing stitches. They really do have alot of dead beat scum supporting them.

Pretty shocking that. I also saw a video of a Luton player getting threatened by Huddersfield fans while he was just trying to clap the fans. Stewards just standing there watching it.

I've resigned myself to the fact that Forest will go up. They're a better team than Huddersfield, and they have the wind in their sales. We just need to focus on ourselves.

Have you seen the video? What a cowardly scumbag.

I'll have a look for it now, I must admit when I saw the pitch invasion I thought I wouldn't want to be a blades player right now, Jack Rob good a police escort I noticed. Also Johnson is a good player but a mouthy, cocky little **** especially celebrating his goal last night.

I agree about Johnson he gets himself involved when arguments breakout as if he is some hard case instead of being a skinny little runt.

It’s just the arrogance of a lot of Forest fans that annoys me. They talk as if their rightful place is the Premiership even though they haven’t been there this century ffs!
All credit to the manager though. He’s done a fantastic job, since coming in, and I also liked his post match interview. Very impressive indeed.
Hate to say it but it looks like they’re going to make it this time. Its a shame as I always enjoyed their play off defeats, plucking defeat from the jaws of victory!

The Police are missing a trick really. Every two weeks, the brain-dad neanderthal foot-soldiers of Nottingham's organised crime bosses voluntarily gather together in one group and badge themselves as the 'A Block'. Conduct one big blitz of mass arrests, throw away the key, and you could halve the crime rate in the Nottingham area overnight. ;D
