Been to the match today. 14000 attendance 9000 forest fans..it says it all. "They have more cash than us" the songs rang out (not loud) Shit ground NO FANS. if they can not turn out in force for SVENS debut v their hated rivals when will they ?.. Result was shit but they will never be as big as the mighty REDS. ever. ! dont look into the result too much my county friends it was a friendly counts for nothing or does the Newcastle 6-1 defeat to Orient mean anything..i await those coming out the woodwork County fans reply...ps was it just over 2000 fans for your last home games last season ?

lol 14,000 - 9,000 forest fans - indeed, ncfc report 6,000!

crowd was 12,000, not bad for a friendly during the holiday season eh, when you consider last time we played forest the crowd was just over 9,000, nice of the forest fans to turn out to support sven!

just over 2,000 for our last home game last season - yes 4,419 - `just` over 2,000 lol
think you`ll find more county fans interested in watching Liverpool on friday night, I suppose even their 2nd or 3rd string will be tougher opposition - meeeeoooowwww

ps as all historians will know - County were bigger than the mighty reds many moons ago - so I suggest "never" may be false lol

Ask the Newcastle fans if their 6-1 loss to orient meant nothing - indeed.

just over 2,000 for our last home game last season - yes 4,419 - `just` over 2,000 lol

2419 away fans tho ! lol

Yep you are old enough to know that County were the bigger club from 1862 - 1865. I rest my case lol

Shame Notts need a Swede just sacked by the Mexicans, thou I believe the option of shooting him was considerd, to make then big.  How do you define if a club is bigger than another?  Certainlly from a fan base Notts are and always will be a small club.

look through the history books and from 1947 to 1953 notts gates averaged far more than forest have eva done, but you are right, how do you judge the size of a club! so you see county WERE a bigger club than forest have and ever will be, even discounting the years that forest spent trying to join notts in the football league to start with. lol

I think everyone should get behind BOTH teams and show some unity lol

hear hear. as an ardent pie - I have no grudge against forest and genuinely want both teams to do well for nottingham

I echo that Tone ! However just on my bigger club theme "from 1947 to 1953 notts gates averaged far more than forest" That a whole 6 years out of 140 odd lol

And haven't County got a Forest reject as manager???

dont know to be honest but he is a Notts boy so that makes him fair game as far as Im concerned. And lets be fair... he wont be in charge long now will he.

Just pulling you up on your "never" theme lol, Notts gates averaged 34,000 one season when Tommy Lawton was there, the home game against swansea on boxing day, the gates were closed with 46,000 in and a reported 10,000 locked out lol
