cheshire_red Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yes there was, Radcliffe Road junction going towards the Cricket Ground, I did a bit of a detour to get back to the car. First half we did lose a bit of possession but that was because Forest closed us down incredibly quickly. They are a quality side we matched them overall just need a finisher.

BristolCity1992 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yeah acording to my Wrexham mate who were at Mansfield today and he is staying in Derby tonight he got speeking to a Forest front line and he said that although they won on the field we won off with over 1000 youth...Or something like that. Shame really something we could all do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerox6060 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 No real surprise a heck of a lot of 'lads' and youth were present and the beers were flowing well, first main chance for big aggro since Hull away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 More than likely both sides are to blame.I was walking along the road and moved to my left to avoid an oncoming local.Well i made the effort unlike this plank who was in his early Forties......shoulders met and he proceeded to call me a W***** with gritted teeth.I thought it was best not to say anything as there were a fair few Forest fans close.

Keepers Ball Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 If we get in the Championship I guess this kind of thing will happen week in week out. Very true.The thing is it isnt always planned.For years we have been used to going to places like Gillingham,Crewe Brentford etc where there is hardly if any trouble so going into the local boozers is easy.....but when it comes to playing the bigger sides with bigger fan bases i don't think we would be so welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Just back, saw a fair amount of trouble, a few arrests in the car park and lots of dogs and horses galloping up the road. Seating, stewards and police were a joke, no wonder people were wound up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterrimes Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 We left just before the final whistle (no comments please) and walked out of the Car Park and there were a few Forest Youth on the phone to their mates trying to get numbers together. There is no way they were at the game because they asked us about it.So for these Forest fans to say we started it may be way off as they were very prepared to get involved.

22A Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 A lady from Nottingham is visiting me today. She was at the game with her son and was caught up in the trouble. Organised punch up it may have been with both sides equally to blame, but there were also innocent fans such as her caught in the middle.One Forest fan passed her by with blood pouring down his face as someone had hacked into his skull with an axe! I have explained that whoever did that was no football fan but just someone looking for a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmeanie Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I passed that Amici bar on the way to the ground, about 4.50. Some Bloke, late 30's I'd say, jumped out from a rowdy crowd outside and in front of me, a bit of pushing went on and as I passed him, he hit me across the back of the head. I looked around. It hadn't hurt me. I was on my own, I just kept walking. And there were no children outside that so called nice little wine bar!On the way back after the game, I passed the same bar, along with plenty of other city (and forest) fans, and that's when it all started. Most city fans crossed the road to avoid trouble. As I walked up to the bar, it all started - some big bloke in the bar crowd just yelled 'come on then - let's have it' (I know - that sounds really naff - but I swear it's what he said, I was looking right at him. He was looking well past me, over my shoulder) Then it all got a bit crazy in the road. But again, I saw no children in outside this forest pub. Just young and middle aged men - none wearing football shirts or colours, obviously.So I think some of what that rivals site said is a little one sided. Didn't like the bit about a city mob attacking a bar full of children - Maybe there were children inside, but I didn't see any. Just some men shouting and throwing stuff. And I wasn't involved on the city side - I was wearing my city shirt for christ sake - with no jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Dunno what the Police were doing on the A42/M42 on the way back, but they seem to be making sure 3-4 minibuses wouldn't exit any junctions shall we say.Caused absolutely havok given there are only 2 lanes till the J11/M6 turn off.

Guest Kermit Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 If we get in the Championship I guess this kind of thing will happen week in week out. It won't.Its quite rare down here these days, and thats from when we were in The Championship as well.The only problem you will face is that you might be playing teams you haven't played for a long while so it somewhere new to go for the novelty.I didn't go to the game but I have heard the town centre was a bit tasty.

I reckon there may be more trouble just because the teams we will be playing will have larger numbers of fans, and therfore also be likely to have larger numbers of idiots tagging along. If we go up we could potentially be playing the likes of Wolves, Leeds, Sheffield Weds, Cardiff, Stoke etc and so there is a large potential for trouble.

Let all fans on feet through their line but these particular buses had been put right outside the ground where they could be stopped from moving on. Wonder if these were the same buses?
