If they don't sell enough I can see some stands being shut.

Happened against charlton a few years back in the cup i remember.

I had a ticket for the town end, and when we arrived they put us all up in the family enclosure!

Season ticket holders shouldnt have to pay for friendlies imo

The clue's in the name tans. It's a season ticket, and therefore excludes pre-season

meh, you dont pay for reserve games

Kinda agree!

Sweet. Let's hope they don't change their minds before the game.

I can't be bothered with friendlies

Im going to them all but hereford.

Come and support your team, ya  :cunt:

Bit harsh, given that some people have to work and many don't have convenient or affordable ways of getting to away games

Hope we play Bath. Only one i'd even consider going to this summer

Do you pay for it all yourself ?

No my mummy does :D

Naah, yeah i do, got a job in a pub mon-friday with tuesdays off £5 an hour! :D

Pre-season friendlies are bollocks.

Having said that I'll probably go to a few, more to catch up with mates than to watch the games, which are usually as dull as fuck.

Not sure I'll bother either. Car insurance is due next month and it seems to be getting more expensive by the week.

The main reason that i will go to a game.

This will be the only the only game I go to. The Town End being open has clinched it. plus one of my favourite games was our last home game against them where we won 2-1.

Was that the one where Julian Bennett got booked without even getting onto the pitch?

Edit: Yes it was, also where Moses Ashikodi got subbed on and then booked before he'd touched the ball. Fond memories of that also.

Two own goals in front of the TE and also can't remember who it was but we missed a sitter, with the ball sticking in the mud after beating the keeper

Blair Sturrock missed the sitter when his shot got stuck in the mud, was this also Malpas' first game in charge?

If this is the case then it was probably the only highlight during his reign.

I've only just realised its a Saturday game and its right after pay day. I probably will go after all.

Someone else can sit next to Tails this time, I'm not going up A&E with him again

I like going to the smaller grounds in pre-season.
  1. You can get close enough to the pitch to hear the players properly. Which can be amusing
  2. You can cast you eye over the trialists the declare them crap.
  3. Its generally cheap to get in.
  4. Usually the non-league team want to beat you so it can be semi-competative.

The Forest game will have no big name players and will be non competative tappy tappy tedium. But I may go along with a Forest fan anyway :)

wasnt it moses who also got subbed on with about 10 min to go and then subbed back off 7minutes later.

I thought that was a different game (possibly Huddersfield ?) after Paynter got sent off and when we were clinging to a lead ?

Peacock also got sent off (first) that game. We were 3-2 up. 2 from Craig Easton I believe.

Moses was subbed off again for Roberts to waste time.

i will go to my usual quota of pre seaon friendlies.none of them.....

You don't have to struggle to remember what happened in last Forest game. I posted the link to the match report.

I was on about the Huddersfield game, just in case that wasnt clear.

Oh sorry.

Oh, no it's not:

If you bought tickets for the TE you can swap to DRS or Arkells, both of you

Quelle surprise

 Bit of a bugger....still according to the Forest fan Brain, the other day, they'll bring 2000, so should get a gate of 2300+

 I always like to see how any new boys are shaping up...we do have 3.

5. (AND MOST IMPORTANT)  you can drink beer whilst watching the game, hopefully in the snunshine.

Can't help wondering if this pre-season friendly isn't a bit more than a kick about in the sun.  It has been widely reported that Forest & several other Championship sides have had Charlie Austin watched.  Given his prolific scoring record last year that was to be expected and I wouldn't have thought anyone is likely to make a bid just yet.  He's completed less that one full season of League football after all.  However what better way for Billy Davies to see if Charlie is the genuine article or just another lower league goal scorer who wouldn't be able to make the move to a higher level than to pit him against his own Forest team.  The many Forest fans that I work with they are very aware of Charlie's exploits and reckon that if he (Charlie) can continue his goalscoring next season then a bid is a real possibility.  I hope Charlie has a shocker Saturday!

No need to worry about Forest, they haven't signed a player on a permanent deal in over a year, or so my Forest-supporting housemate was telling me. Their "acquisitions panel" cannot agree because Billy Davies is a ballbag.
