Couple of United fans sat near us in the lower Trent End too. Looked very sheepish leaving at full-time whilst my brother shouted "Hope you enjoyed the game lads!" to them.

It was nowhere near as bad as the old days. I remember the 8-1 game and they were all over the place.
No respect either, I’ve been to watch Forest in home ends before and kept my head down.

Where's me hammer?
Think We've all had to go in the home end at some point when playing away but you use your head, no colours and show respect.... far to many folk go to football now who don't know the meaning if the word

The league cup final and the fighting everywhere at half time in the Wembley concourse is the one I remember the most

I saw 2 separate occasions in Upper Bridgeford of people blatantly with season cards asking the stewards where there seat was not necessarily United fans though

Aye... I've stood in the Popside at the Baseball Ground with the Sheepie fans twice when they have played Forest.
Obviously kept me mouth shut and me head down, especially when Forest scored... then when I was leaving the ground and I was spotted by one of me Derby pals!

Yes-the upper Brian Clough was full of them in the 8-1 game.
Problem is can't rely on stewards clocking it or reporting it back. As you suggest, not knowing where the seat is doesn't automatically raise a flag as it could just as easily be that someone was away over Christmas and gave their STs to a friend. I'd actually be inclined to think that as handing over the physical ST requires a lot of trust.
The issue the club face (as do most PL clubs - you should hear an Everton mate of mine bang on about this) is that there certainly will be touts who buy memberships with the sole intention of using them to get seats that they can resell and turn a profit on. Last season it wasn't an issue as memberships and therefore tickets were pretty much a closed shop, but this year with everything being a bit more open it sounds like a few of them have started to appear. If it's reported back to the club then hopefully they can spot a pattern in that Member X is consistently buying tickets that end up going to Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool fans and take appropriate action.

Put your photo on season cards, problem solved
Although it’s not in the clubs interests to stop day trippers picking up tickets , not opposition fans but tourists on a day out. You don’t have to be Einstein to work out the correlation between a constant churn of day trippers and a lack of atmosphere.

Trent end was too. I seem to remember a bit of fighting in a-block as well

One less gobshite...
And then touts have tools for buying tickets too. They know how to manipulate the TicketMaster API.

Manure fans have always been split between the home and away fanbases. The away lads typically being legit. To the point some wouldn't attend home games - they left that to the day-trippers. Always been c**ts though.

Some folk have no principles. The amount of places and businesses I've boycotted since Brexit im struggling to find places to go and certain brands to buy in the supermarket

I’m my experience their away support is probably the best in the country over the years I’ve been attending football. Not just in number, which is a given, but in noise creation. I thought they were muted on Saturday though which was unusual. When they scored though it was a much more of an old school roar than a lot of clubs I felt.

I think you can buy tickets (all be it overpriced) on a website where people must put their tickets to sell and the website take the difference between face value and what folk are willing to pay.

Only way I get to see the team for me. But play the game and keep your head down.

Yeah exactly, I’ve drank in loads of pubs watching Forest over the years even when I have been in the away end. Some of the pubs no goes with reputations. Just settle in, grab a pint, keep yourself to yourself, no colours, don’t be a twat. Not hard is it?

Thinking about this quickly. No issue with people sharing STs with friends to see the club, more so as it is oversubscribed and no tickets available. But not for away fans. Should be reported and ST taken off the holder.

Should have reminded them of Wembley being in the home end. The police just stood by and watched Forest supporters obliterate Man U fans in the concourse.
The police encouraged it as a way to deter the plastic parasites lol

There's been quite an overall increase in people coming in late/going down for half time early/coming back up late/leaving early this season than last at most games.
Lots of newer faces, people with paper tickets. I suppose the constant fixture changes don't help.

Yep. I’ve reported this to club for an investigation. I’ll report back if I can. ST holders should be banned immediately. TC’s state the rules

I'm fairly sure the bloke next to me was a United fan (in main stand). In fairness he kept quiet throughout the match and applauded politely when we scored rather than acting like a twat.

I was shocked by the amout of people streaming out early when were 2-1 up over man u not that it's a new thing as has happened for years but seemed a bit different the last 2 years with people wanting to stay and clap the team off
