bcnram Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't think it's any more or less. It depends how you define that. I don't really think about West Brom/Wolves - they seem to go on 10 year cycles of hating other clubs around them. Clubs in the same city is fair enough, although ask a red dog if it's bigger against us or bigger against Notts County. This is how I define big: I'll reschedule meetings to get on the phone early to the ticket office I pay £25 membership on top of my season ticket to secure my away ticket :mad: I dream about us winning a week before we play them I (literally) can't sleep on the Friday night I don't drink on the Saturday for the build up. There's plenty of time for that after (celebration or drowning of sorrows) I like to think I'm quite a mild mannered sort of guy, but I absolutely flip when I see Lee Camp. Horrible things come out that shouldn't be repeated I freeze when we score against them - I don't know what to do When I wee at the city ground, I'll do a little bit on the toilet seat. Just to deface the ground in my own way. I guess the point I'm making is, any one's derby game is the biggest in the world. It's the fans that make it. One derby I've no time for is B'ham/Villa - the ground was half full last season at St Andrews. How could I disagree with any of that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ram Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 And what about the transfer that never was....I remember being at The Basie (forget who we were playing mind) when Ian Storey-Moore "signed" for us in the centre circle. It was broadcast live on ITV's On The Ball show it was such big news, Storey-Moore was an exiting left winger and it looked like curtains for Alan Hinton. Anyway, he signed but by Monday the deal was off and he went to Man United where he didn't do much. Anyone else remember this ? It was against Wolves mate, I was in the Pop Side.

Spanish Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It was against Wolves mate, I was in the Pop Side. didn't they sign near the corner of Normanton and popside. The centre circle was too much of a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceland Ram Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Steve McClaren was our assistant manager and played 25 games over 3 years. Like a reserve for everything with us. Not really a big thing is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders89 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Charlie George and Dave Mackay, didn't know about them ? Mackay was their manager before he was ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saunders89 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I can only think of 3 played for both of the Old Firm, Mo Johnston, our very own K.Miller, Steven Pressley. I guess there is no real cultural divide between Forest and Derby. I think Alfie Conn was the first if my memory serves me right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's a shame we've never had our good years at the same time then the East Midlands derby would be equal to that of El Classico. Not in a million years would it. Loacal rivalries are always perceived by the fans involved as the biggest game of the season, and the East midlands derby is no different, but to say it would ever rival Real Madrid v's Barcelona is just completely crazy. I wouldn't even say we are in the top 10 of "big derby" game in England to the outside world, but to us it is always going to be the most important one. 6 points this year for sure.

I'm talking paradoxically. As in if we had BOTH reached the heights of the European cup in the seventies then maybe the derby would then have been perceived like El Classico is now. Though of course in the position we are in, two Championship clubs, one persistent chokers and the other bottom half strugglers aren't quite at the heights of the top two teams in La Liga, one of which won the Champions League this year.
