I had come to offer some discussion, insight and exchange about the actual game   

 

  

Think we know where @Tyler Durden's dictionary went...

This might appear daft but has anyone else “ lost” the forum ? This all I’ve got.

Otherwise, can’t access the forum at all. ?‍♂️

What happens when you click on Wayne Rooney's DCFC Fans? The across arrow should be replaced by a down arrow revealing a drop down list of all the Forums

Yeah, I knew that. Was just testing y’all ? 

Don't know how that happened, don’t remember touching anything I shouldn’t have but thanks Tyler, I was quite perplexed.

I only know that as I did the same thing a few months ago and hit on the solution randomly.

I don’t do random solutions. ☹️

I normally go straight to the ground but bringing a mate on Saturday and we want a pint before. Will anywhere be open?

I would say your Derby City analogy is weak. People do not commonly get that wrong. 

More similar is the whole West Ham stadium name...was it called the Boleyn Ground or Upton Park...no one cared either no matter how many times it was explained.

According to Percy 

NFFC are close to signing Sheffield United defender Max Lowe on loan for the season. Lowe could make his debut at former club Derby this weekend. Forest targeting a number of other signings before Tuesday night’s deadline

[Crewton]

They're a bit obsessed with signing our former players, aren't they?

I can’t actually believe on almost the eve of the forest game there’s almost 100 seats going in every block. I didn’t think it would be a sell out but it’s looking likely to be 7k empty seats at least. Will be quite gutting to see but I’m sure the fans that are there will make hell of a noise.

Why is the drop off so bad? I'm thinking it must be because of the situation off the field and the fact that we don't have a competitive side

The issue with the ticket office not being open has been more of a factor then some care to mention.

I also read a very enlightened suggestion that if our fan base is heavily skewed towards the older generation then the ones not disenfranchised with having to book tickets online might also still be cautious about large group gatherings or may have even sadly succumbed to Covid.

Will Hughes may be off to Crystal Palace for £6 million rising to £10 million. Do we get a few quid out of this. His value has not rocketed.

Still don't understand why they get so snippy about being called notts.

They're in the borough of Rushcliffe not the city of nottingham and everyone calls notingham notts for short anyway, but it seems to really wind them up?!

Perhaps the mods should let @Red_Dawn and @eezzeetiger onto the thread to explain? Their previous owner said they were house trained and only very rarely ? on the rug these days.

What are the chances that DCFC set up the scoreboard to say “NOTS FOREST” just to wind them up some more?

Excellent point - similar to Celtic Park of Parkhead as well. As for signing your former players lets face it we've already tried for Buchanan and there's not a side in the Championship or half the prem that wouldn't take Sibley either at the rate he's going. Not sure we'd take any others but then our transfer policy is as shrouded in mystery as our tactics at the moment. Derbies are always unpredictable but frankly all you have to do is attack from the start and if you get an early goal we're sunk as CH will just pull the team back so as to not lose by more.  We've registered one shot on goal on the past two games so unless someone is possessed by the ghost of Gerd Muller we're unlikely to score - mind you even he couldn't have scored from the service we've given our strikers...

Best we can do is a draw, we don’t win games sadly.

If we could win it would be happily.  ☺️
