5 Things About Nottingham Forest

There home support was good, but you would expect it to be, after 30 years of being outside the top flight they are going through their best couple of years since then.

It seems to be a midlands thing to be vile, maybe they have a complex as they are neither North or South

Stamford Bridge was a soul less bowl up to the early 1990,s the wind blew through it and the fans were far away from the pitch aside from the then new, now old stand

5 Things About Nottingham Forest
at 12:48 21 Jan 2025

1, The Mullof Kintyre thing at the start of each half is impressive, but the support dies a bid at times during the game.

2, Why do they market it as "The World Famous City Ground" it's not even in the City and not even in Nottingham to be pedantic, I have never seen it as World Famous.

3. Why were the Forest fans so nasty, most of their songs seemed to be aimed at us either going down with Leicester or saying hello to Derby for them.

4. Car parks seemed to be in short supply, but you could park near the ground and loads of cars seemed to be parked on the pavement and double yellow lines without getting a ticket.
5. As I said it isn't even in Nottingham it is in the town of West Bridgford which is a seperate unitary authority than Nottingham

This might just be part of the process, most players get turned down at the first time of asking, unless they have enough points , which basically mean you have to be truly top notch and then get through at the second or even third time of asking.

This wasnt a scousers song as you so eloquently put it, no one knows who actually started it but it was sung by every club bar Forest back in the day.

Singing "We hate Nottingham Forest etc, a staple for all football supporters bar Forest in the 70's & 80's it seems to have died out at some stage, good to hear it being sung again

I meant a similar path in the last few seasons ie 3 seasons, since a mid table Premier League finish then it was , relegation, promotion and now bottom 3 Premier League

Wrexham are doing well, but will the jump from League One to the Championship be a bit too much for them financially.

The ground will be extended from 16,000 but they havent the catchment area to fill it

I wonder how Leicester City fans view King Power now, early on they worked wonders and won the Premier League, the death of the main man in 2018 didn't change much initially, but in the last few years they have run a similar path to us and could easily go down again with us

"Any number of senior management employees from the C E O downwards with their finger on the button should have been able to see that the suggested pricing was wrong. The fact that they didn’t act is testament to their inherent ineptitude fully exampled by the second relegation in three years that now awaits us."

There you have hit it on the head, the buck stops with the CEO, it doesn't go up to Kraft or Solak, who has other business interests other than Sport Republic.

Perhaps Solak has woken up to the fact that those tasked with the daily running of the club ie CEO Phil Parson's downwards arent doing their jobs.

It is pertinent to note that Solak's focus seems to be on the football results and not the ticket prices, indeed he seems to have left off the bit where he said.

“Whilst I am pleased with many aspects of the club’s management, I am deeply disappointed with the prices for FA Cup games this season. We will be strengthening our ticket office management team in the near future, and we will share details of that as soon as things are confirmed."

Tickets On General Sale For Bournemouth Game
at 14:38 14 Jan 2025

The general sale is usually to those who are on the database from previous games, the only way the home ends will be infiltrated is if season ticket holders who know Bournemouth fans have bought them tickets

Given that Ankersen is the only major shareholder in Sport Republic with any footballing experience on his CV, buying him out and getting rid of him would be a big mistake unless we have someone with his sort of nous lurking in the background

I blame the person responsible for setting the ticket prices and do you honestly think that Dragan Solak and his Sport republic board deal with that on a game to game basis, if you do then you also believe that the Chairman of McDonalds sets the prices for a happy meal for the Millbrook branch and Mike Ashley decrees the price of a pair of Adidas Predators in his Sports Direct empire.

Since Markus Liebherr arrived that has been the corporate governance, Markus Liebherr and then Katharina Liebherr didn't get involved in day to day running, nor did Gao

Come on if Phil Parson's phoned up Solak last week and asked him what we should be charging for the Swansea cup tie tickets, he would have been sacked

It's about pay grades.

When we stood up against Southampton FC in the 1990's etc we were dealing with a small organisation and speaking to the men that set the prices etc, but we argued with them about the important things, not the price of a replica shirt etc.

Now we are part of a big corporation they pay people to set ticket prices, it is way down the list of pay grades
