Igor, you might be right. Billy has certainly had a nice run of games to begin with. And that will continue for the next couple. Hopefully by the time we have to play the top sides, we'll be playing even better. But Cardiff are supposed to be the best side in the league and yet have lost to Pboro and were outplayed by your lot. This division isn't that strong and it just takes the right manager and a run of games to get up there.

Administration within the next three years awaits Forest as FFP kicks in.

"19, 000 was the 3rd highest attendance in the league foe (sic) a Tues night game. I don't think the dwindling attendances at Derby are more than that on a week night."



You could not be more wrong if you tried, caniggia.

We've played five Tuesday night league matches, and the attendances have actually gone UP over the course of the season, from a lowly 20k+ against Charlton, then Barnley and Cardiff with 21k+, then lately Boro and Bolton with 22k+.

Perhaps make something up that can't be so easily disproved to cast your next aspersion

Well the 1st part was factual and the 2nd not made up considering your attendances have been dwindling for the last couple of seasons.

Third highest because the big clubs in the league were all Away last night

You're right, all the big clubs that played away last night had healthy away support too

Did they Sherriff? I find it amazing that 300 fans would go to Cardiff for a meaningless midweek game on a cold foggy night to a place where we are usually on the end of a thrashing. However for Forest who have the "Billy bounce" and who are now supposedly challenging for a play off place, to attract less than 20,000 says rather more about the nature of Forest's support.

Nigel Doughty had the same problem at Forest that Al-Fackwit is experiencing now. He would spend a fortune on new players only for the fans to turn round and kick him in the boIlocks by not turning up.

Not turning up?

Baring in mind it was the biggest champions league game in about 5 years last night. It was cold. A tuesday night. A working day. You're attendances would be the same, if you took away the freebies and EVERYONE PAID.

The Nottingham public is notoriously apathetic and fickle, as this demonstrates. It must be a kick in the teeth for King Fawaz, who has spent millions on the club, to have these people treating him like this. They have plenty of energy for criticising him on Twitter, it seems, but they can't be bothered to actually go and watch. Shame.

I also find it amazing you took 300

I supported my team last night, you didn't........they're the facts

They're here again. Talking about attendances is boring when theyre taking half what we take away, it's boring when Derbys owners stop giving away freebies and their attendances plummet. Of course it wasnt boring before that and it's not boring now.

Question is will it be boring next week Derby fans?

Not while you're around, Sutton. You suffuse everything with a wonderfully exciting glow.

We take a lot more than half what they take away. Their away support is pathetic

Only cause you lot can't wait to get out of Snottingham for a few hours

19,000 doesn't even pay for Billy Sharpe and he is on the bench.

Blimey Canigg, what a waste of money.

So what SharpCox is saying is 7480 Forest fans didn't show up because ManU where on the telly.

or maybe there was a doiley making demonstration on at the 'castle'.

You'll get more people to watch something if you charge them less. Amazing stuff.
