A great thread - reassurance that there are some proper fans who really care passionately about our great club.
I took my 8 year old grandson to the game yesterday. He thoroughly enjoyed his day out ( as he always does - he has now had a season ticket/card for 3 seasons ). He is somewhat shaded from things sat in the BC Upper - but thank god that he is. We sat on the front row yesterday - after we discovered that our seats were not ‘available’. This was great news for him as he got an uninterrupted view of the game - if only some of our supposed fans would behave with a little more ‘decirum’. Yes I do understand that it is a mans game & people like to vent their feelings on a Saturday afternoon. But my grandson is one of our fans of tomorrow & hopefully for many years to come. He doesn’t need to hear the full throated rantings of a middle aged guy sat 2 rows back who utilises the full range of Anglo Saxon language in order to describe the failings of individual players ( he was fair minded though - not one Forest player escaped his wrath ).
Oh and whilst I’m at it I can’t believe the stick that Benny Osborn has received yet again post match on social media. It’s not his fault that every manager he’s played under has got confidence in him to do a job for the team. Not his fault that he is shifted around to fill a hole as required due to the squad being imbalanced, injuries or less disciplined players taking a break of a couple of weeks after needless suspensions. He will surely be off in the Summer ( and who could blame him ) - only then will his true value be understood.
Rant over - sorry.
