TrentVilla Posted July 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2012 I hope this proves to be the fantastic news it appears to be having seen what happened on the other side of the river though I will perhaps wait and see how it pans out before I join their fans in celebrating. As a resident of Nottingham I'm potentially really pleased for them though, they were in dire trouble following the really sad death of their former owner Nigel Doughty. They've already lost a number of their players on free transfers and were facing the prospect of losing a lot more next summer of in the next 12 months on reduced fee's as they weren't in a position to offer new contracts. Hopefully the new owners will sort them out and push them forward because as a kid of the 80's I always consider Forest to be proper club, a club that belongs in the top flight. No club has a right to be up there but Forest to me have always just seemed like they should be there. Personally I'd be delighted if they are able to get up in the next few years not least because I'll be able to walk to an away game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had a soft spot for Forest as they're one of the reasons i'm such a big football fan to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousHolteUnion Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Would like to see them in the top flight in place of QPR, Wigan or West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thye have a kit launch on Saturday and want to meet fans. Its a shame that have signed a real poor sponsorship deal for their shirts but its only 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm another who would love to see Forest do well. I'm from Nottinghamshire and supported Villa because of my step-dad, but my older brother and grandfather were Forest fans. My granddad had a season ticket there for years.

PussEKatt Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I will be not glad but happy to see Forest back in the top flight instead of some of the crap we have now.Mind you if they replace a team like Wigan or QPR then it means another hard game to get points from.

Richard Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Agree with Trent and designer, a real soft spot for them. However, should they appoint that twunt Redknobb my soft spot will rapidly change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Having lived in Nottingham for a bit I also have a soft spot for them. Hope they get back in the Prem soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2012 It’s funny to hear how many other fans have a soft spot for Forest. I lived in Nott’s for a good few years and they became my second team too! There was a good interview with Brian Roy on Talksport a few weeks back, reminiscing of his days there. Funny to think that was 15 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted July 11, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2012 Is that equally why Leeds are the antichrist? They're getting taken over in the coming days/weeks too actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'd be happy for Forest to do well (i.e. finish one place below us). First game I can remember at VP was against Forest. I was stood high up on the black ash of the Holte watching the waves of marauding hoolies outside chasing each other back and fore. Then all combined running through the gardens of the terraced houses that used to be there to avoid a mounted police cavalry charge. It's not very pc and my opinion would be different now, but at the time I thought it was all just fantastic and exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
