Rammy03 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 50k ? A few years ago they could barely get 15k in. Getting carried away as usual. Comrade 86, Premier ram, RadioactiveWaste and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely a strong whiff of delusion in the air with that one. NG2Ram and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yeah I mean banter aside, 50k would be ridiculous, 4pm suns been out, guessing alcohol is involved. To be fair, a quick look in the replies it’s not something many agree with. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I read Forest are looking to spend £100m this summer. But £20m of that could be a future fee for Henderson. I also read Southampton are looking to sign a young City goalkeeper for £15m. Shows how ridiculous fees are up there. £100m is only going to get Forest four or five players. That’s nowhere near enough considering they had about four or five loanees propping up their first-team XI last season. I think they need to be realistic and spend wisely knowing they will go down but with the right foundations they could follow Norwich into being a yo-yo club.

Bris Vegas Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I’ve just seen Forest’s fixtures too. Absolutely nailed it. I thought they’d play three or four tough games before a top three side away from home. Newcastle (A) West Ham (H) Everton (A) Spurs (H) Man City (A) i think those first four games they may get one or two points while being somewhat competitive. Then they get the hammering at City and they’re in the bottom three for what seems their first winnable game of the season (Bournemouth at home next). They lose that 1-2 and then it hits them that they’re out of their depth. Watch this space. SaffyRam, NG2Ram, Crewton and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it actually shows you the problem with having too many good loans in your side. They need to buy a new right back and central midfielder of good quality just to have the same the same side as they went up with, and a goalkeeper to replace Samba. That alone will not be enough, they need to add to it. Recruitment will need to be spot on or it could be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson will provide plenty of ammo if he stays, but what they have at the moment won't get them far. They also need a top quality left-back, and their CBs look a bit pedestrian for the PL. Apart from that, they'll be fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, a quick look in the replies it’s not something many agree with. Nobody sensible would suggest 50k. I think if the capacity was 40k we'd sell out more often than not though in the top flight, or at least be regularly hitting 37k+. One things for sure, what we have at the moment isnt enough.

Augustus Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Attendances in the last few years have been very good, particularly when we all pay for our tickets and don't get them free with phone contracts, or local schools and businesses (Toyota) being given 1000s of freebies. ?

We're literally swimming with cash now... Might throw you a few pennies this summer for a few young players you have. Doing our bit to help you lot keep the lights on.
