[Albion] Forest fans - take a bow
This may have been covered elsewhere but I think it deserves it's own thread.
How great were the Forest fans. Genuinely think that second half was the loudest I have heard a home crowd since we got back in the Premier League. Could be the difference between them staying up over their rivals in Leicester, Leeds and Everton. Impressively strong support which definitely gave their players the extra energy they needed to overcome us.
I really hope they stay up ahead of Leeds who by comparison did not make Elland Road the cauldron it has the potential to be.
They were terrific and at times deafening, they really backed their team in their hour of need.
Some really good interactions with Forest fans on twitter last night and today. Very appreciative of how we took defeat well acknowledging that Forest deserved to win. A lot of praise for our passing (when it wasn't going astray) and general style of play also.
Really hope they stay up, I'd hate for Leeds and Everton to be just be battling for one spot when they could both go down
They certainly sounded loud and proud on TV. Probably not the easiest atmosphere to play in if you're an opposing player, and it must have given all the Forest players a boost. I guess you'd expect it to be noisy, given they've been away from the Premier League for so long and are now fighting tooth and nail to stay there.
It was so loud, we were 15 rows back right behind the goal, at times I honestly Thought their noise was being augmented by simultaneous microphone and projection. It was incredible. Fair play to them for that. Fair play.
Yep ... I sent out a tweet when I got on the coach. My notifications haven't stopped! Loads of interactions with Forest fans ... everyone of them 100% positive about our club. I've now had 78.k views ... 1,876 likes and 114 retweets!! I'm not really active on twitter and only just opened a second twitter account purely for football to keep it separate from other personal stuff ... so this blew my mind!
There’s a lot to be said for these older football stadia and their stand roofs that angle the sound back down into the stand. It is easier to get singing in unison when each part of the stand can hear what the other are singing.
The proximity to the roof of the North Stand seats is a big problem. Most of the noise is lost. The West Upper is much closer to the roof and would be a better place to lead the singing from.
I met an old (Forest) pal before the game, messaged him this morning and said they were the loudest home fans I’d heard in ages. He said it’s the loudest he’s heard it for years there too (he’s a lifetime STH). They were pretty impressiv….also some mostly good natured back and forth, particularly when there was that long injury break.
At times an absolute wall of noise with the whole stadium singing in unison - very, very impressive.
They do l like a good 70’s / 80’s songbook though - stems from their glory years I guess.
Standout was their version of ‘Mull of Kintyre’ sung at the start of each half.
Outstanding support.
Loudest I’ve heard since the Derby play-off game under Garcia.

I remember them at the Amex too in October(the drab 0-0), they made a racket then too despite hardly getting out their half for 90 minutes. Good crowd they are
Second half I really did think WOW, so loud. I wish we could replicate that at the Amex.
Forest fans are a decent bunch and get behind their team well, unlike Leicester who have 2,000 free flags and never make a sound
Always remember after Ulloa goal got us in the play offs - loads of locals walking along the River Trent saying well done now stuff Derby in the play offs
I've been to a few Forest matches over the last few years with a friend.
I don't think it was quite as loud (relatively speaking) as when you were telling Hughton he was getting sacked in the morning against Wolves.
I think he somehow got another game after that match. Maybe your owner sacked somebody else in the meantime to get it out of his system.
Good luck for the rest of the season. There's plenty of other sides I'd much rather see go down.

In your last sentence, you’ve used the word I was going to use to describe my thoughts about yesterday … in addition to all the stuff about how loud you were … tradition … and I’ll also throw in history. Was interesting watching some of the clips on your screens … with a certain Mr Clough featuring … in particular your two European Cups. That’s the original and best European Cup … not the money spinning Champions League!! I’m old enough to remember watching both of those finals … in particular the Trevor Francis goal. What a period that was for Forest.
Anyway, I’m sure we’ll be able to do it again next year. Hopefully a 3pm kick off on a Saturday … another good old tradition that we don’t see enough of with our games these days.
Always a decent bunch Forest fans. Very likeable club. Great fans down at the Amex this season - very friendly. Didn't go last night but it sounded very loud second half after pretty quiet first. I think the crowd sensed we were knackered and there for the taking and they were obviously absolutely desperate for a win which I'm sure helped the atmosphere build second half. Cracking old ground too though which obviously helps with atmosphere.
Really hope they stay up. Most likeable club out of those down the bottom - especially compared to Leeds of course who I hope end up rock bottom
