Thought you might like this Lee:
” Two Nottingham Forest games in January have been selected for live coverage on Sky Sports.
The Reds kick-off 2018 with a clash against Leeds United at Elland Road on Monday 1st January and it has been chosen for live broadcast. The 3pm kick-off time for the fixture remains the same.
The visit of Aston Villa to The City Ground has also been selected for live coverage, with Sky Sports showing the match on Saturday 13th January with a 5.30pm kick-off. ”
The NOWTV box will be coming out…

November 3, 2017 at 3:38 pm #13240Well by that time we will deep in relegation territory, so in line to make our usual miraculous recovery, so you might be in luck!
Forest supporters absolutely hate LUFC, it goes back a long way. The only team more hated by the City Ground faithful, is Derby County, for the same reasons as yours.
I just dirtied my KB by typing Derby County! Twice! I should sanitise it now.

November 3, 2017 at 4:50 pm #13244I’m not sure how Leeds has so many enemies. Liverpool isn’t one, but almost all the other northen clubs hate them.
Never looked into why. Been a few Leeds home games. Ellen road. (if that’s how it spelt) is a cracking ground. Have an cousin that lives in Harrogate and one of her ex boyfriends was a Leeds fan so I’d go with him. Was probably 10 years ago I last went.
They was going thought their decent times when I first went, but they could of been on league 1 the last time I went. If they ever dropped that far
My knowledge of football ends at 17th spot in the PL. I don’t mix with the riff-raff of league football lol.
Not untill we end up down there.
November 3, 2017 at 8:59 pm #13246I like Elland Road even though have had some hairy times up there. I remember going in the pub next to the ground (Golden Peacock I think) which was full of miners, armed-robbers and other assorted giant nutters and my mate ordered a “lager top” – could of heard a pin drop – one of the swiftest pints I’ve drunk.
Have a bit of a soft spot for Leeds (sorry) – as some great games at Upton Park back in the day – and as I say the odd excursion up there.Also my old room mate on my apprenticeship was a White.
If you like your boxing then it is always worth tuning in when Josh Warrington boxes – he is a Leeds fanatic and so are his fans – great occasions.

Posters of a certain age may remember Leeds (filthy-dirty but superb) rinsing Southampton on Match of The Day
November 3, 2017 at 8:59 pm #13247Did not know Bradford was owned by Germans Lee, but at least they are not Chinese or Arabs. Forest are owned by a Greek multi-millionaire shipping owner who also owns Olympiakos. He has been suspected of dirty dealings by the Greek FA, but nothing proved. I just wish he would spend some of his millions on someone who could score goals and defenders who could keep out attackers for 90+ minutes, we always seem to give away a lead late in the 2nd half. He has spent a lot on the Academy and the youth teams are doing well, but it does not translate into results when they get into the first team.
Steve, Leeds fans have a really bad name around grounds all over the country, not just at Forest. In the late 70’s (think it was) they came to Forest and caused a riot, took over the TBI (Trent Bridge Inn) and smashed it up before the game. Locals and staff legged it and police chained up doors and windows. Having no one else to fight, this drunken mob fought each other. Lots of arrests and injuries. Next time they came to Forest, police would only take buses and trains, escorted them to the ground and back again. Any supporters in cars were turned away before they could get into the city. They don’t change, according to my family who still go to every match. The most objectionable fans in English football, IMO.
