O/T:- Forest Crying (Again)

[legs77]

So the reality of their dream of getting to the Premiership is that they have to pay hugely inflated prices to watch their team lose most games, just because they lose to the likes of Chelsea! I'm sure they will be out in their droves tonight celebrating finishing fourth bottom because 3 teams were actually sh!ttier than them.

Somehow it seems to benefit us, so long may it continue.

Yep that is how that league is now Elite you have zero chance now finish 16-17th is a good job.

I wouldn’t ever want us to get there championship would be the dream for me personally.

Most over rated league in the world too.

Like last season,I can't believe how lucky the Scum have been with other teams results going their way week after week.You would have thought Luton would have been able to scab a win from their last eleven games.That would have really put the *******s under pressure.Frankly the scum are not much better themselves.

Also something else you don't hear much about:- How many billions have scum spent on finishing 4th bottom of the PL? What a ****ing achievment that is!!!!!!! Talk about value for money.

Can you imagine Notts in a similiar situation and their main rival not being able to buy a win?

People rave about the quality of the PL but the bottom 4 have all been diabolical.

Amazing Luton will get 80+ Mill. in PP. ....A reward for abject failure. It's ****ing corrupt.

I would be keeping out of Notts Tc on Saturday if they beat Chelsea. It will be like them winning the f'ing thing.

Sad thick retards.

Hmm, I'm on the train for a night out 🙃

This is a damning stat from the BBC on Forest’s season:

“Nottingham Forest suffered their ninth home defeat of the Premier League season, their joint-most in a 20-team campaign in the competition.
They could stay up with 29 points, and a maximum of 32. Either way it'll be the lowest points tally ever by a Premier Legaue team to avoid the drop.”

Mind you, the most interesting battle Forest are having right now is with Nottingham City Council. Can’t really see Forest leaving the Temple of Sin, but if the owner throws a strop and decides to build a new stadium in Toton, that would be huge for us (but not so good for The Nest).

Got to be the most boring Prem in history. City suffocating it at the top and 4 abysmal teams at the bottom, one of which will be the worst team in history to stay up.

Yeah it’s hard to believe we won’t benefit in some way from Forest charging a fortune to watch them get beat most weeks. Let’s hope we get our act together.

[upthemaggies]

Gutted they stayed up, though at least I can say I've seen Notts finish higher in the top flight (15th) than a large proportion of Fword fans ever have. It's almost 30 years since they finished as high as that.... 20th, 20th, 16th and now 17th at top level since 1996.

[upthemaggies]

Seems their move to Toton might have some traction. It's just been mentioned in the sports headlines on Talksport following an interview with their owner in the Daily Mail this morning "The stadium and training ground are not befitting the status and ambitions of the club," and picked up by the Nottingham Post.
OK it may result in them being more successful but if they're no longer in the city, Notts wouldn't be in their shadow so much and have a reason to exist other than act as alternative for those who prefer to back an underdog or for those who can't afford PL ticket prices. We'd be representing a territory of our own.
I'm all for it

They might aswell move to pride park and ground share.!!

[Elite_Pie]

I’d love to see them move.

Mainly because it would be the death of that awful song about a mullocking tyre.

[marky]

Their fans are proper pissed off about it but it's been obvious for ages their owner wants them to move to make more money on corporate etc. I've always felt they had little intention of building a new Main Stand, a few of their fans have suggested they completely rebuild the ground and move temporarily to Meadow Lane for a couple of years whils it's being built.

[Notts78]

Let them move… the money it would take to buy the land and build a 40-50k all seater would be 100’s of millions. By all accounts it’s what has impacted Everton’s abilities to balance the books with FFP.
The obvious choice IMO is to pay the 10m the council want to purchase the freehold. Then build a new stand as planned. The cost would be significantly less especially when you factor in that they have 2 relatively modern stands. It will be a bit like Fulham where they have reduced capacity whilst work happens. This would be a further boost for us IMO
