    I know they aren't the bottom club yet but if Forest carry on this awful run, it won't be long. After the madness of having the Brizzle match as Cat A, why are we doing it again? It's not like the away support will be a big un for this as the team are doing sh*te.

    From official Forest site...

    Barnsley v Nottingham Forest
    Saturday, 3 March - 3.00pm KO

    We have received an initial allocation of 1,500 unreserved seat tickets for the North Stand (located behind the goal). An additional allocation of tickets may be available if required.

    £30.00 Adults
    £18.00 Seniors (65 years of age and above)
    £18.00 Students (aged 18-20 years and in full time education with NUS card required as evidence at the turnstiles on the day)
    £18.00 Under 18's
    *£ 7.00 Under 12's

    *Under 12's tickets must be purchased with an adult or senior ticket, they cannot be bought individually or with a student or Under 18's ticket.

    football league says it needs us to stipulate which are cat a ,cat b ,cat c before season starts 2 weeks before to be exact.
    Don rowing has said and agrees category system not working and will revert to single price policy next season. because ITS ALREADY IN PLACE WE WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.
    TO MAKE IT MORE PALATABLE,special offers will occur throughout the season ,
    the 1912 card gives you discount on all matches and discount on SOME already DISCOUNTED TICKET PROMOTIONS.

    That can't be true. Games they said were to be category A at the start of the season have been cut in price. Millwall was one.

    If the club are reverting to a single price policy, next season, then why are they advertising 5% of a season ticket or a complimentary 1912 Membership as a perk of Centenary Society membership?

    Why the need for 1912 membership?

    I've no problem with that. I won't pay £30 end of story and many others won't.

    I was going to get a season ticket next season but I feel so badly treated by this Club I have supported for 50+ years , that I may say stuff you and pick my matches.

    Average price of tickets has been less than £25 per match with 1912 membership plus extra income from away fans

    The club didn't know they'd be the bottom club when they set the prices.

    And 2, it's another month away, time for them to change em yit. Pretty sure Millwall tickets were on sale before they dropped the price of them.

    £5 for everyone!!! Get the ground filled and drum up some support.

    The atmosphere on Tuesday night was simply awful. It was like a morgue and we were playing some brilliant stuff in the first half! Don't the club realise that the majority just can't afford to fork out £100 for a game of football!!
