Those tricky trees stole the points off us last year… I don’t care if it’s a tedious 1-0 with a scrappy last min winner. I’m predicting an entertaining 2-2 though

Unless we give Forest more tickets (as they have sold out 3880) then there is a risk they have to switch the match to all ticket to prevent them for sitting in the home end. In which case there will be no walk up..

That would be a silly thing to do, the match is televised so I doubt anybody who didn't get a ticket would be so bothered.

They’ll just let Forest fans pay on the day? 2000 will be plenty

I am going for the classic Coventry City result. Concede a goal in the first half, fight back in the second half with a latish equalizer so 1-1.

The first 11 is marginally stronger than last year and now more experienced at this level, even if the back up is paper thin. If Sheaf plays as well as he did against Wolves then the O'Hare, Hamer, Sheaf core to the team could be very strong.

We will probably be fielding the League One promoted teams' back three. Could be good - 'the old gang's back together'. It is really difficult to say. Just when will MacFadz's legs give up once and for all?

I really can't see that defence not conceding. Hyam has no left foot . Having said that he finished off last season as one of our better players . O'Hare needs to start finding the net this season . I think a 1-1 looks most likely

If we had sold 22k by last Thursday it would be a close to a sell out come kick off

I'm going to go for 1-0 - Waghorn the scorer, his record against them is very good and a decent 20,000 all in

There’s no way it will be delayed. Two reasons. One, it’s live on sky and they don’t do late kick offs. Two. Sunderland aren’t playing and won’t be relegated.

Find it odd they’re not putting out there how many have been sold, if they said 18k might entice a few more who were 50/50

Sales are slow for a lot of clubs this weekend. Derby, Cardiff, Preston, Stoke and Blackburn - loads of empty seats at all these grounds, these are teams playing on a Saturday, not on TV, and they all have cheaper tickets available, but they're miles from being sell outs.

There are also 3 days left, why don't people just wait and see.

and there's not a lot any of us can do about the attendance anyway other than buy a ticket ourselves, it will be what it will be.

We averaged just over 15k last time we were in the Championship.
The truth, is outside of the hardcore, we have a very apathetic fanbase for a variety of different reasons.

Sounds like James Garner might rejoin Forest on loan. Hopefully not before the weekend!
