Alex_BCFC Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I don’t mind Forest these days - probably their time to go up and after the opening few games they have been best side in league with Fulham. Bit of a wobble at end but I expect them to come through 2nd leg ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my personal view , they get on my **** I take great pride in being a Bristol city because I’m from Bristol,no doubt Man United have fans around the world which grew from the awful plane crash and has been handed on from generation to generation,if you are a Forest fan as you say who probably were not even about when singing it then fair play,why play down something your home club has achieved if purely because you were not alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still achieved much more than us, mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those FA Cups put them ahead of us imo. During Clough's era, there is no comparison. Light years ahead of us. Light years doesn't even cover it really, they were Star Trek warp drives ahead of us. After Clough? They went back up into the Premier League before dropping out again. I'd put them ahead of us there, although in recent years we've been very similar. So, yeah they are a bigger club.

I agree,it’s a difficult question to answer in all honesty,Huddersfield are another one,blatantly won more than us and have been to the prem but they are not bigger than us I would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History/trophies would put Huddersfield ahead of us. We have a (slightly) bigger stadium, but I wouldn't count that as making us bigger than them.

That is staggering when you think about it,classed as one of the biggest clubs and half their trophies were won under one manager starting from the 90s,guess we will see the same when Man City win there 20th and kids around Bristol will be wearing blue in 30 years time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly it’s a impossible answer,unless it comes to teams like Bradford or Bournemouth they have been to the premiership yes but does that make them a bigger club and that’s a blatant no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they were really a top club before Busby. But they were before Ferguson. Best, Charlton and Law helped. And, ironically, the Munich setback.

Harry Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 If City had won the European Cup during our period in the top flight in the 70’s, I have absolutely no doubt that we’d still talk about, sing songs about it, have pictures in the concourse about it, etc. Nothing wrong with Forest fans continuing to seize that glory. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Anyway. For me, Forest deserve promotion. Since Cooper took charge they’ve been brilliant, and had automatic promotion form. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
