The notion that we wouldn't have a club if it wasn't for the bros is BS. We were averaging 7k the season we went down, Either somebody else would have come in at the last minute (as is often the case to get the cheapest deal possible) or we would have gone into admin and got picked up for peanuts.

The current owners have got the extra ticket money coming in that previous owners didn't have (3-6k more people through the gate) and also the extra TV money thanks to the Covid boom across football. This is a long way away from begging for 8 through the gate (and getting 5.5k) whilst having to deal with the collapse of the ITV digital deal.
We?d have a club but let?s face it we?ve been a laughing stock the last 20 years with our near misses. My forest mates love reminding me of when they?ve put in the buckets for us at their games and that absolutely grates me.
The bros are doing everything mostly right but obviously need to up it a touch on the pitch as if they get that right too we will be looking like a real proper club on the up and I think we?d catch a wind going up through the leagues, easier said than done though.
