Most ticket updates are automatically posted by newsbot - the Forest ones haven't though for some reason and seem to be restricted to Twitter. So for the benefit of anyone who doesn't use Twitter and still wants a ticket for Saturday, there's only 80 left so move quickly. Should be a cracking atmosphere.
Hope our fans respect the day tbh. Cloughie is a legend and always proclaimed to be a proud Yorkshireman. Can remember Match of the day when Forest had just gone two down at home to Sheff Utd in a match if They lost would see them relegated . Cloughie came out of the dugout which he rarely did during the match and the Sheff u fans started singing Brian Clough Brian Clough Brian Clough to which the forest fans joined in and Clough was seen with tears in his eyes. He always mentioned the Sheff Utd fans in interviews after that referring to them as those lovely Yorkshire people ,My people . Cloughie is a legend I hope we spoil their day but for the right reasons on the pitch not from the away stand in disrespecting this great man of football .
Pretty sure that Clough made his debut against us in 1955, too. I've relayed this one before but I'll never forget the smiles on some of the young kids' faces at the time:- One night down at Oakwell in 1991 we played Nottingham Forest in that Full Members Cup competition, also known as Zenith Data Systems Cup. We knocked out a near full strength top division Forest and after the game all their superstars came out of the ground straight onto the bus totally ignoring a fair sized crowd of eager Barnsley youngsters who'd gathered to get the autographs of these famous players. When Brian Clough came out last and saw what had happened he told every player to get back off the bus and for every one of them to sign for each and every kid.
