Day Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 A NEW family section where opposing fans will be able to sit side-by-side is to be launched at the City Ground. Nottingham Forest will join forces with Doncaster Rovers to sell the family tickets for their game on November 28. The tickets will be for the T block section of the Brian Clough stand, and there will be entertainment before the match and at half-time. Forest Safety Officer Alan Bexon said: "It's something we have been considering for some time and we have had talks with Doncaster about implementing it for our meeting later this month. "We sincerely hope the idea will catch on and lead to us eventually getting back to a situation where there is no need to segregate fans. "Football has evolved since the days when hooliganism was at a peak and we believe the initiative could be a step in a very positive direction." Students at South Notts college will spruce up the stands in advance of the match. http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/homenews/Fans-sit-Forest/article-1494793-detail/article.html ------------------------------------------- Would this work? I can't see Derby and Forest fans sitting side by side anytime soon and I'm not sure I'd want to be sat next to an away fan whos celebrating a goal.

bakeri666 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It's a nice i dea, and to an extent i hope it works... but at the same time, it could dilute the passion and atmosphere in the stadium. It will also be the most guarded section of the ground by safety staff and police, and i'd imagine will result in several bans if anything even pretends to flare up... after all it is a family area and the idea is to allow for family entertainment - not to have 6 year old kids forced to watch their dads get punched... or even worse get punched themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Actually on second thoughts, it may not be a good idea. You know what some fathers are like at kids football matches. It definatly won't work for Millwall v West Ham United, Sunderland v Newcastle, Rangers v Celtic etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
