    If Notts county win their second leg, it will be their fourth visit to Wembley since Forest last played there. Which will be a relief for them, as that brings them up to about the average number for English professional football clubs. Below four is where it starts to get embarrassing.

    Derby need a draw at Fulham to make it their fifth visit since Forest last played there.*

    Leicester have played there seven times since Forest last did. It'll be an eighth today if you count Spurs away.

    We don't just need to limit this comparison to English and Welsh clubs though - Barcelona have played competitive matches at the English national stadium three times since Forest last did.

    Small fry.
    Small fry? What does that make you lot and what are these ‘unscrupulous tactics’? Do tell ‘Baldi...can’t wait for this one.

    Spot on, can't beat our support.

    Unscrupulous tactics - calling a game off because of injuries and saying it was due to police advice, which they denied.

    What say do the police have over our injuries LOL? We called the game off because of snow drifts in the stands

    I've heard it all now, clutching at straws again, so your saying we claimed the police advised us to call the game off because of our injuries - you did just type that didn't you?

    You do talk some bollux...and the match wasn’t called off by the police anyway, it was called off on the advice of Derby City Council and SAG.
    Nothing to do with the referee because the pitch was perfectly playable, it was all about access which, because it was a) a lunchtime kick off and b) a Sunday meant that road conditions were much worse than they might have been by later in the afternoon or on a weekday.
    You maybe didn’t have much snow in the urban wasteland of Nottinem but it’s not just the football that’s better in Derby...the countryside is more spectacular too and, in snowy conditions rather more demanding. I know I’d written off any hope of getting to the ground and local schools were shut the following day as well. Do be careful of that straw slipping through your fingers.

    You need to get help urgently pal You have a brain malfunction if you think we can't beat your support We have had a higher average attendance than you for the last 23yrs take the trouble to check As for your stupid libellous accusations about calling a game off for injuries
    You will be telling us it didn't snow in Nottingham next The football league said we did everything we could to get the game on But the conditions beat us But then again you have got a similar brain to Warnock

    I guess because there isn't a great deal to talk about in Nottinem when it comes to football they have to make conversation by looking at Derby to try and deflect once again from their own disastrous season and try and pick faults in ours, its not been a perfect one for us but its a hundred times better than what cracks off in Nottinem
