Pliskin Posted 2 February 2022 Share Posted 2 February 2022 We won’t lose this game…. They’re an average championship side with key players missing it seems. We will batter them with ease, Daka to get a hat-trick too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get grief anywhere unless you're specifically looking for it. If you want to park near the ground you can park in the multi-story near the train station £5 I believe. You can also park on the council house for the same price. Embankment is also a fiver, but you can park just before the barriers for free if you get there early enough, it just means a bit of a walk (about twenty mins along the river or 15 through the Meadows). Alternatively you could park in Beeston on Lower Regent St and get the tram to the station which is about twenty mins tops then ten mins walk to the ground. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentFox Posted 2 February 2022 Share Posted 2 February 2022 Life here will be “challenging” for a few days if we screw this up!! But does anyone else also feel it’s a disproportionately important game for us? The mid-winter break has taken the edge of the disappointment we have all felt after recent results and performances ……… but it’s still there. Simmering just below the surface. A slip-up here and the mood music around the club will be grim. Similarly, a strong showing, with some injured or unavailable players slipping back into the fold, and we are in a good place to make a decent fist of things to the end of season. 🤞🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s genuinely embarrassing that they think they’re too big to call us rivals. We’re a bigger club than Derby, and probably bigger than them too IMO.

Thanks for this, was just a little more conscious as I'll have my son with me and he'll want to wear his kit. Could you recommend the best parking spot to head M1 north after the game please?

Could you recommend the best parking spot to head M1 north after the game please? Understandable, don't get me wrong we have our problem fans like any team but the vast majority are normal football supporters and I can't imagine you'll have any issues. It's much of a muchness to be honest in terms of parking near the ground, If you're looking to get away quickly I'd be tempted to say the train station as it's a little easier to get out of and close to the A52 and generally less people tend to park there. If you're looking to just avoid traffic but are less fussy about time, there are a couple of alternative options. 1. Park at Toton tram stop and get the tram into the game. Toton tram stop (free parking) is literally on Brian Clough way and 2 mins from M1 J25 which is either north or southbound. Think you can get a family ticket for a fiver. 2. Park at Ilkeston station outside Armstrong mill (free street parking) and get the train in - Ilkeston train station is a short distance away from M1 J26 again both north and southbound. The train in takes roughly ten minutes and is my personal favoured way of getting to games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has ever been able to define 'bigger'. It's mostly in people's heads but modern football suggests it's all about turnover and spending power. In that case, LCFC have been bigger than other East Midlands clubs for virtually the whole of the 21st century. Previous triumphs in a competition that was ended 30 years ago has little bearing on the here and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 2 February 2022 Share Posted 2 February 2022 Almost 30 years exactly since they did us in the Zenith Data Systems Northern Area Final. Something I'm sure most of us have never got over. Time for payback. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest, there are a handful of English clubs that have a good atmosphere home and away on a regular basis. A major gripe of following Forest home and away for me is singing at half time. Literally don't understand it. Boisterous in the concourse and silent in the stands. Infuriates me every season. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to pinpoint when the “we don’t care” stuff started but I imagine it was around the early or mid 2000s, at that point both probably were bigger than us, equal in many ways and we might have had the edge in other ways but we didn’t have a league title or FA Cup. But to keep it up since 2016 is just funny, we’ve surpassed them in most measurable metrics, 99% of neutrals would tell you were bigger than Derby, so to suggest we’re somehow not relevant or big enough to be their rivals is just laughable.

It’s complete rubbish. Forest are a club with a huge identity crisis. Stuff about the ‘world famous’ City Ground and ‘1-nil to the famous team’ are lies that have been repeated so often they’ve become true for many of their fans. On Twitter, few accept that what we have achieved, and the era in which we’ve achieved it, has made us far more famous around the world than Nottingham Forest have ever been. For a club with literally nothing to shout about since 1990, their exclusion of us from a ‘rivalry’ is the only way they can think of to cling to relevance - hence the need to make up a trophy for it too.
