Doctor made a mistake reducing you're drugs.

Not at all, just wondering why would it affect forest at least we've tasted and on Saturday got a whiff of again but the dogs haven't being within a dogs bollix of it apart from a couple of semi's, on a par with most of your posters really.

Serious comment. I would miss the championship. It is a relatively honest league where you encounter all sorts. Whilst I recognise the prem is the aim. Forget about over or under achievers. Which fans enjoyed their season most derby/Brighton or Stoke/swansea. I bet it was the champ clubs.

That being said I am sure neither of the prem clubs want to come back down.

Also I enjoy our Tuesday night games. Not too much of that in prem because of euro stuff.


Valid question though.

I see the point your making on the Forest boards and not specifically about what went on at the weekend but a general debate. You're that promotion may not be great for fans in some ways because of how things become. Every time I see that advert with the old guy going down to see his team, I think that's exactly the sort of fan that the corporate money driven nature of football has driven out. I think most of us chasing promotion hope that firstly it will get the club on the heavy chain, then somehow eventually established mid table or even lower top half. But how many clubs are chasing that?

* you're right

Redun........ I totally agree.

I can tell you the top four of the premiership for next year, no idea on the Championship.

I can see most games at 3 oClock on a Saturday.

I can see mostly British players, playing in a relatively fair league.

After Saturday, I was gutted that our performance wasn't reflected in the result.

That said I look forward to next season with the belief that I will see Derby win more games than they lose, something that wouldn't have happened in the Prem.

The experience is better on match days when your winning and let's face it if you go up you go from a successful season to what is probably a dog fight. I still would like it though, and if doesn't happen in the next few years and regulation makes it more difficult; the more likely it is that this becomes the permanent level.

"That said I look forward to next season with the belief that I will see Derby win more games than they lose, something that wouldn't have happened in the Prem."


Today's Premier League is all about survival, not like it used to be when at least half the league had a chance of finishing in the top 4 - West Ham, Forest, Derby, Norwich and etc used to be top 5 regularly, now it's impossible. Man City managed to break into the elite, but only after spending obscene amounts of money on spoilt brats that kick a bag of wind for a living.

And another thing, GET OFF MY LAWN!

Redun. Had a very similar conversation with my dad and son on the way back home on Saturday. I guess it was mainly driven by us trying to convince ourselves we are better off in the championship after all!!

One other point to add, yes it's great to test yourself against the top sides and they would be matches to look forward to. However, I'd get no more excited about playing the likes of Palace, Hull, Stoke and dare I say WOR than I would Brighton, Wigan or Bournemouth.

Having said that we all expect our trams to go hell for leather to get there.

PS. Sorry FAF, I'll go home now.
