It's cheaper if you book two advanced singles from London to Newark and then get a £6.70 day return from Newark to Nottingham (20 - 30 minute journey).

In the season of our first win there in 50+years I think we took around 500 on an easy Easter day which was the smallest seen at Forest all season. Another year recently we also took the lowest following there out of 23 other teams This season will be good, big and noisey Was this when chris wood scored a penalty ? Again this was after two consecutive terrible seasons fighting relegation and on tv i believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A superb defensive performance with a blood spattered Louis Carey being interviewed pitchside afterwards having put his body on the line on countless occasions.

Quite right. I saw LC play hundreds of times and Webster around a dozen times in that amount of games he’s shown more skill, positional sense and an acute awareness of danger than Carey ever had.

LC was an average ‘run of mill’ defender. The fact he holds the appearance record doesn’t make him a legend as some claim. if over 600 games tells a you that he was loyal or it could tell that perhaps no bigger clubs rated him highly enough to bid for him. Although Webster has only been at AG for half a season he’s shown his class already. He and Kalas are a better pair defensively than Flint/Baker imv. Its surpring that Ipswich let him go.

cidercity1987 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Lets be honest, Carey wasnt as loyal as its being made out. Fair play he got his move to the second tier but he wasnt good enough at that time and was back with his tail between his legs pretty sharpish. I would also say Webster is better than Carey, been a fan favourite at three clubs now and is destined for the Prem imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t we offer him a pittance up to what most others were on at the time? If Carey isn’t a club legend, who is? I’ll add, Carey and Amougou/Bikey kept us up one season (think 2011/12) . Their partnership was key. That forest game away from home, Gerken had probably his best game in a city shirt & Carey was unbelievable. Not sure the 500 odd fans quoted is correct though, it was on TV & we were looking awful at the time, i’d guess 250-300 of us were there. I also remember @Never to the dark side Made a few of us hold up these white sheets of paper with something on to take a picture, can’t remember what was actually on it though!

Atyeo definitely, but he had his own reasons for staying with us as it suited his lifestyle and fair play to him for that. Legend is a term too easily bandied about, and whilst I don't blame any of the players who sought higher level, higher paid football after failing again to get promoted, that then disqualifies them from legendary status in my opinion.
