The speed of the turn around in the morale of the Forest fans has to be seen to be believed. A month ago and the club was the laughing stock of the Football League. You couldn't have made it up in your wildest dreams.

Now, everything in the garden is absolutely beautiful and every single Forest fan just KNEW all would come right. You could tell from their daily posts on JA606 except they were disguising things so well.

We will see!

Anyway, I've had enough of all this football nonsense now. I'm off to the 'Cricket' boards.

Ramdini - I agree. It's amazing how quickly things can change, except at derby where mid-table mediocrity prevails.

CLOUGH OUT!

Sammon has scored more than both Cox and Blackstock, Tonto. Both I suspect are costing Forest far more than they can afford. Only Sharp who actually isn't a Forest player has scored more in the Forest team.

£2.5m Cox cant even score against 9 Men ....deflected goal needed late on against 9 Men.......King Krankie ...19,000 cos its Foggy and Man Utd's on telly ....It can only be Forest. Beat 10 men...Beat 9 Men and they think they are bossing the league....aww bless em

Owd Strett's including the away attendances, i.e. other team's attendances.

Just when you thought he couldn't get any thicker!

Err wrong again Vidal. The numbers are average home support (total in the ground) average away support (away fans only).
To get a truer reflection I could look at the quantity of home fans at home matches and away fans at away matches and average them out; but Derby have given 6000 seats away to Sheff. Wed, already so I dare say this would make unpleasant reading for Derby.
Derby currently average 1508 away
Forest currently average 2104 away.

Hope this helps cupcake.

Didn't realise the position of a team was down to 1 or 2 players? It's about a team. We've got midfielders who score more than yours, let's make that comparison and get those stats shall we?

I do criticise him most days on here, but I went in holiday in December for a month so it can't be a fact that I do it every week.

I stand corrected, that is a fair point

It was Tonto bringing up Sammon's scoring record, just pointing out an inconvenient fact to him.

Well yes we've both got misfiring strikers. Sharp was on fire but he's gone off the boil, got injured etc since SoD left. Blackstock is never going to get more than 10-12 a season. Cox should score more but hasn't played as much, certainly not as many games or minutes as Sammon. But then Sammon is at most going to get 12 league goals as he's that type of player.

Non-league Nigel : Non-league support.

Connor Sammon

Couldn't even beat Forest at the sheep dip

CLOUGH OUT!

Fickle is when...

Your average gate is increased bo 10k when your rivals are in town.

186

That must be wrong. Notts take more than that.

You'd have also gained an extra 10k if the Taylor Report hadn't condemned most of that shithole of a ground of yours

Why is there 10000 empty seats then at the palacial Pride Park if appearance is the reason?
Your Nige has kept your fickle fans away.

You are confused.. easily, evidently.

The reason we are able to accommodate 10k extra is because of our larger capacity.

The reason you are NOT able to accommodate 10k extra is because of your SMALLER capacity.

Your capacity is smaller because your ground is a shithole.

Trust this helps

So if we built a ground with a 200,000 capacity, would we get more fans?

Confusion is abound 666.

Please read my posts. Like in the exams you invariably failed you need to understand and answer the question asked.
You ground size is unimportant, the issue is why do fickle rams fans [sic] swarm to the ground only once a season when we are there, to the tune of 10k?

Strett said: "Forest's average (home and away) is 24644"

Now he's saying this is an average of home support (Forest fans only) and away support (Forest fans only).

But he says Forest average 2104 away.

Stay with me now.

Assuming equal numbers of home and away fixtures, to average 24644 home and away would require x plus 2104 divided by two to equal 24644, where x is the number of home Forest supporters. Forest would need an average of 47,184 home fans per match for this to be true.

Which means you've got a bit of catching up to do after the 19,000 of the other night, nearly 30,000 below the average according to Strett.

So 75,000 at the next home game to make up.



"Cupcake"

Right thick 666 and Vidal; like a low IQ version of the chuckle brothers.

Because we normally win

And, if you'd care to contemplate my accurate response prior to (I can only presume) mashing the keyboard with your palm before running it through a spellcheck program and posting the resulting nonsensical garbage, you would see that the only reason our crowds increase by that much and yours do not is that your 'stadium' capacity will not allow it.

Christ, you need incentives to fill it on derby day as it is though so perhaps you DO have significantly less fans than I initially assumed.

That's an odd assumption to make Vidal.

Vidals reading skills are lacking cff.

I'm more worried about his maths skills
