Nottingham Forest Academy And Under 21's

[Red Rascal]

After the difficulties of the last season this has the feel of good and welcome news.

Excellent news and huge well done to all involved.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Fantastic news.

Can someone confirm if this means the U23s can play in Premier League 2 this coming season? I assume we would go into Div 2?

Yep, "Nottingham Forest are delighted to confirm that the club has secured a conditional licence to operate a Category 1 Academy for the 2021-22 season."
...
"The club’s U23 and U18 teams will now enter the elite academy games programme for next season, including Premier League 2 and cup competitions."

[stirred]

Wonder if we'll get any of those matches on 'Forest TV'?

[McDurban]

Wow! Did not see that coming. Congratulations to everyone at the club and Gary Brazil in particular. Thank you too, to the owner, Mr Marinakis. Onwards and upwards.

Soz didnt see that!
Excellent, we will get a good gauge of where the U23s are at. Competition for them hasnt been good enough until now.

As others have said, massive well done to Gaz and everyone including the Owner and to be fair our CEO if he is indeed signing off will have played a part too.

So one or two on here need to put their hands up and admit that they were wrong.

I won't hold my breath...

I won't mention DT either.

I'm so looking forward to seeing the new stand being built :D

Me too. What I can say is that if EM had his way then it already would be built. However the final decision is not his but the situation is ongoing and EM is still fully committed to the project.

We’ve signed 19 year old forward Lewis Salmon from Altrincham and Billy Fewster following his release from Leeds’ academy.
