Weird, and socially awkward, but in the context of a bet to the end of your life (your words) I don't think it's unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 1 hour ago, CLOUGH1971-72 said: Your wrong again. Think about this. They already have as low as 14,500 season ticket holders this season. In their last home game before they played us, they played Ipswich and there was less then 17,000 forest fans in the ground. It's getting down towards 12,000 already. Fawaz is killing the club. Just because they won the European cup doesn't mean they are a big club. Notts county were traditionally the biggest team in nottingham and Clough changed the whole landscape. I didn't ever say Mr Clough KNOWS we would have won 3 European cups. I said Mr Clough said maybe derby would have won 3. Please do not make things up. You can go against what everyone at the time said if you want to. Meanwhile I'll go with what the people (Clough,Taylor,mcfarland,todd,gemmill,ohare,hector) that mattered believed. Notts county were not a bigger club before Clough went to Forest, they were getting gates rubbish gates, in fact according to my extensive research, they had 1 season in 1971 where they had over 13,000 average gates since 1960...so you can apologise for being wrong about that whenever you like. The thoughts about what may or may not have happened if Clough had stayed is anyone's GUESS, although I would say that when Dave took over we had a better team and still didn't win anything in Europe....

Better players, I'll grant you that, but a better TEAM, that's highly debatable. Dave didn't really have much chance to prove it either unfortunately, he was gone in the blink of an eye as well.

G STAR RAM Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 11 hours ago, The Scarlet Pimpernel said: Don't really agree with this. The point is they are the ones who on every possible occasion big themselves up. They tend to claim they are the biggest team in the East Midlands. Twice European Cup Winners etc. All that I can see being said is that if all they say is correct you would think they would have enough supporters to fill their ground for their biggest game of the season, £35.00 on Sky or not! It sounds like you are arguing for the sake of it. Do they? All of them? I have Forest fan mates who have never mentioned European Cups because they were won before they were even born. Infact not heard much from their fans for a few years. Isn't it us talking up ' the best squad' in the division etc? Regardless of whether you agree with me or not, I stopped attending the away fixture when prices went silly so can understand why they may do the same. Did not even realise I was arguing, just pointing out my opinion on the petty attendance debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbob Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 14 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: Surely it's only a big match to people who wish to attend? We are slating people for not paying £35 to watch a match they can watch for free on tv, yet ignore the fact that we have about 20,000 fans who can't be arsed to go to games when tickets are £10. They beat us fair and square on Friday and threads like this make us look sore losers and are just as embarrassing as their attendance. No one is saying they didn't deserve to beat us. You asked what his point was, I was merely explaining to you what I believe his point to be. The majority of people wishing to attend would be Derby or forest fans so yes, for the majority of them, it is a big match 13 hours ago, Alpha said: Man Utd get 70,000+ So we're both "tinpot". More interested in how many hairs I have on my chest tbh. I've got like 7. I think puberty is just around the corner I'm like a bear. Grrr!

loweman2 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 On 9 November 2015 at 09:10:58, CLOUGH1971-72 said: Forest are a small club really. I think they will go back to getting 12,000 crowds again in the next few years. They were getting less then 10,000 before Brian Clough arrived in 1975 then all of a sudden people thought they were a massive club. Not sure if it was 1975 or more like 79 when they had just won back to back European cups, oh yeah and the first division title that they thought they were a massive club ?
