Nottingham Forest Our Support Is Brilliant.

No doubt there will be a drop next season if thing's don't improve on the pitch .

Who knows?

We were terrible at the end of last season, record goal drought & all that, but season tickets went up for this season.

You have a basic core of supporters who support the club & as such will go whoever is in charge, or is on the pitch, then I think a lot of the rest is down to pricing, marketing & other stuff.

I mean if you listen to some of the fans on social media running around like Chicken Licken telling everyone the sky is falling down you'd expect gates to be tumbling, yet we have the 18th highest support across all 4 divisions, 3rd best in the championship & possibly about to hit a 5th sell out in a row.

I guess we'll have to wait until the summer to find out, but it's nice to see an average 27,721 turning out & I hope it carries on & people continue to support the club

While ever the pricing is attractive as I’m sure it will be, and while ever there is hope, again which I’m sure there will be, then I see no reason why the supporter base cannot continue to grow.

The new structure are fantastic at PR and marketing.

Long may it continue.

I think our summer transfer activity was a large factor in the spike in ST sales as well as the price bands.
If our season continues to slide into yet another disappointment, which looks far more likely than us going on any sort of late promotion push then it'd take some pretty impressive summer transfer business to convince many folk to part with money again.
If the team selections carry on being as shite as they have been recently then i'm pretty sure i'll be saving myself the 5 hour round trip next season.
All these signings we've made and yet we STILL have to endure Watson & Murphy.
You couldn't make it up.

To be fair we hit the record sales mark in May, before the summer transfer window.

You'd have to put that down to bad recruitment in that summer window you were just talking about, with Grabban carrying a knock & Ansarifard sitting on a bench in the UAE it didn't leave many options.

Hopefully Martin's recruitment of Bonatini will help fix that.

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't start Saturday. 
I'm really hoping he fields a positive attacking line up and the crowd get right behind them from the start . 
We need to come flying out the blocks this week especially as Brentford are on a high.

The continued outstanding support from the the Nottingham Forest faithful means that five of the last six matches at The City Ground have now been sold out.

Not bad for a team who have barely set foot in the play offs this season!

Nottingham Forest 'truly humbled' as they set new club record.

Nottingham Forest believe they achieved a club record when they secured a third consecutive sell-out against Wigan just over a week ago.

And there is still a chance they could make it FIVE consecutive capacity crowds in a row.

Tickets are going well for the visit of Brentford, with Reds fans expected to flock to the City Ground this weekend, to see Roy Keane take his place in the dugout alongside Martin O’Neill, on familiar territory, for the first time.

While a big attendance is expected, it remains in the balance whether that fixture will be a sell-out, even it is expected to be a 27,000-plus crowd as a minimum.

Average attendance this season for every stadium in the top four tiers of English football



18th - top flight

Where we belong.  (Wait until they put the new 38k in.)

Good point, Red73.

The new owners really know what they're doing and credit to them - truly transformational with record packed houses and several in a row setting new records.  If we don't get promoted, I'd expect that pricing to continue while we trim and refine the squad for another assault on promotion.

At least our attendance are higher than Norwich.

Sodding Norwich.  But, they've been run better for that bit longer than Forest and have been in the Premier more recently.  They've stuck with it.

We're behind them.  But we'll catch and overtake them.

Just a matter of time.

Nottingham Forest defender Yohan Benalouane has been amazed by the levels of support for The Reds as the end of the season approaches.

He said: "I came here and obviously the reality is that we are not in the Premier League, we are in the Championship, but wow. The stadium is always full and when we go away the fans are always there.

"At away games you can always hear our fans and on the pitch, I am so proud to play for this team. I know that when I go to the pitch we are not 11 players, we are 12 every time. I am proud to be here, I am happy and I want to go up with this club.
