Steve Cooper at Forest

[Elite_Pie]

The other significant factor in changing my attitude is that I think it becomes a bit demeaning if your identity as a football fan becomes too much about hating another club than loving your own.

Completely disagree, because I can do both. For over 50 years I've loved Notts with a passion and hated Forest with a passion. That will never change, and I don't think it demeans me. It's in my DNA, it's what I've always done.

When they were winning European Cups it didn't change that one iota, so I know this won't.

Regardless of your feelings about Forest, I don't think any Notts can deny that Cooper has done a hell of a job there after taking over from Chris Hughton.

The one thing that could work in our favour is if Forest whack up their ticket prices now they've been promoted. Living in Sheffield I know Wednesday and Sheffield United fans as well as Forest fans back in Nottingham that already pick and choose their games due to cost - upwards of £40 per ticket for the high priority games. Assuming we keep our matchday prices at or near £20 and keep kids prices low it would be a reason for families and floating fans to give us a go at a significantly lower cost than over the river.

Think there's a £30 cap on tickets in the Premier although that might be just for away fans. As for Cooper I bet Swansea are kicking themselves giving him a poor budget so he resigned.

It’s easier not to care so much when you never see a Forest fan in the wild. I’ve not lived in Nottingham for most of my adult life, so haven’t had to put up with any patronising comments or hear them “You Redsing” in town. I even started to feel a bit sorry for them when they got relegated to League 1 and suddenly became a quiz question. I’m sure my disliking of them will increase once I move back to Nottingham, but hatred is a waste of energy.

Looking forward to seeing them get 10 points over the season and regular hammerings. Happy for a few loan players but preferably not ones who push opposition players in the back in the 6th minute of injury time leading to equalisers / losses.

Cooper is a dreadful manager and I wish them all the worst.

A 48 page promotion special to look forward to, coming up in the NEP I read.

As usual Elite we are in complete agreement on this.

I was with you until that last sentence. Cooper is not a dreadful manager. Far from it.

Any manager who gets Fword promoted to the prem is dreadful in my book.

I wish our next Manager/Coach is as dreadful as Mr Cooper
