Forest away, many going?

Who's going then? I've just got back from Spain so ill be nipping down to oakwell for a few tickets tomorrow. Anyone know how many have been sold?

 

went for my ticket on Monday and we had sold 500

 

No going - Went a couple of seasons ago and didn't see much of the match due to idiots in front being more preoccupied stood shouting 'Scab' at the home fans in the tier above.

Probably be worse this time round with Maggie dying.

 

I'll be there. Travelling in with two Forest season ticket holders and going for a pint with them before departing for the away end. I'm not that hopeful of a decent result. No doubt Darius Henderson will cause us problems - he always seems to.

 

Hated that game more than any other I can remember for a long time. It was just horrible and nothing to do with football. I vowed not to go back to Forest for a good while.

However, I weakened and went last year and it wasn't as bad.

This year - nah, giving it a miss.

 

I'm going. I like Nottingham, decent town, nice pubs. Always had a soft spot for Forest when Cloughie was in charge. The City Ground is alright and we always take a decent following there, so there's a good atmosphere. I don't mind a few 'Scab' chants. Nowt wrong with remembering your heritage and reminding the opposition what narrow backed b'astards they were, even if 99% of the Forest support had nothing to do with the strike. I didn't have anything to do with it either, so I won't be joining in. It's alright, so long as it's limited.

However, was does piss me off, as W1zzi0 said, is those that turn their back to the football, look to the upper tier and shout, "Scab, you scab b'astard, you ******* scab b'astard" throughout the entire game. I understand that emotions are still raw when it comes to the miner's strike, many people from Barnsley were ****** over by a heartless Tory government, a bullying police force and people from the county of Nottinghamshire who Barnsley folk thought were their comrades. But if you want to shout 'Scab' all day, stay in the town centre or come to Nottingham when the game isn't on and shout it at people in the street. If you're coming to the match, watch the ******* game.

 

I'm going, scabs.

 

Last years match was just after thatcher had died , our communities have never recovered from miners strike and probably never will.

 

I'm going too.

Scabby bas.tards.

 

Thought I'd read somewhere that Forest were moving the away section to one the side stands???

 

630 tickets sold so far according to South Yorkshire Police on Twitter. 6 coaches booked a space in away car park.

 

It's a better than average away day with Jerusalum and Hooters the novelties.

And trains ok if change at Sheffield by the way
