Been following Forest for 67 years, I know I could not believe it.
Born in Sneinton, a few of us used to wander down to either Meadow Lane or the City Ground on a Saturday as they opened the ground at half time for people to leave early. Thats when we would sneak in and watch the second half. Eventually my next door neighbour took to me to my first full match at Forest. On the kop between the Bridgeford end and the Brian Clough stand. That was it.
Held a season ticket for many years and one year, when we in div 3 I decided to try and get to every game home and away. I managed it bar two games. Refused entry at Colchester, trying to sneak into the home end.
I am more of a 3/4 full glass type of person. The year we got relegated from div 2 I had a bet on us winning the league with 100 points+ and 100 goals+.
I had a bet on Kevin Campbell scoring 30 goals the year he had a hat trick against Coventry, I think he ended up with 4 goals for the season.
I think I would like to see us in the premiership and will worry about beating Derby's points score once we get there.
Welcome and some fine Forest heritage there. (NG2 wouldn't mean a lot without the fans. Nottingham Forest 'is' the fans.) You remember football when it was a genuine grass roots game full of working class heroes. You've clearly seen the highs and lows of Forest. Well done to you, Sir.
I admire your optimism.
With Marinakis on board, I feel quietly confident we'll beat Derby's points score 'when' we get there.
