Mihangel Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Very surprised to see that they flew to Blackpool on Saturday, makes something of a mockery of their 'green' partnership with e-on to 'drive climate change awareness'. I realise it's not just them that are flying to games but it's obviously convenient to use them as an example - Not only is it extremely environmentally unfriendly, it doesn't make any sense, I just don't see the benefit. They were back 'on the stand' at EMA at 19:25 on Saturday, that's more than 2.5 hours after their thrashing ended. Best case that has them at their training ground well over 3 hours after the match, quite similar to how long a coach may take. It's madness.

It can hardly be because they have a home game tomorrow. Good that they're going to ask fans to make a sacrifice though for club PR purposes..... ?

Day Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 They do it so we did it. Great defence from Cooper, almost as great as the one he played against Blackpool. Nottingham to Southampton, yeah you can almost understand it, Nottingham to Blackpool when you've sent a club coach up anyway to transfer the players from the airport, just stop with that nonsense.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I must've driven tens of thousands of miles on the basis that transfer to airport, going through airport check in, security, boarding, flight, pick up luggage, transfer to destination is marginal saving on time at best and massively inconvenient. In the UK unless it's one end to the other there really isn't much of a case for it. And yeah "all the prem clubs do it" just means all the prem clubs are being rather stupid because they can be.....I'm not particularly picking on forest for this one, it's a bad example but it's really not a great way of getting to matches.

I would love to know the thinking behind it, I suspect it's a lot to do with the ego of players and clubs, basically 'because they can'. This would also have cost north of £50k - The ATR 72-600 is not a small plane..... I'll reiterate, it probably took them longer to get home this way, bonkers.

And it’s just such a massive faff for the sake of sitting on a plane for 20 mins. I’d much rather just jump on the bus and get my head down for 2 or 3 hours, rather than constantly ‘on the bus, off the bus’ every 10 minutes.

Foreveram Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I watched the Blackpool fan blog on YouTube last night, the same one that covered our match last season. It was hilarious watching the red massive falling over themselves to get out after the third goal. By the final whistle there was hardly anyone left. The guy was very complimentary to us during and after our game, a lot less so to their fans. Forest fans singing “ we’ll leave when we want “. Can’t seem to find it now , if someone can post a link it’s worth a watch. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
