I wanted to make this thread and wanted to see how everyone else felt really about the the pandemic and it's effect on being a Nottingham Forest football supporter.
As of writing this, it's been 329 days since the Millwall game, which is the last time we sat in the City Ground.
So, I'd like to know from the rest of you that went to the games too, have you missed it?
What have you missed most about not being able to go? How are you feeling about going again at some point, when do you think that will be?
If they opened up football stadiums following the end of lockdown, would you be wanting to be one of the first ones in or are you feeling some sort of trepidation about going back given how the last 300+ days have gone with COVID?
Have you still got your passion for supporting Forest?
For me personally, I found it quite difficult in the beginning. I'm a season card holder (share it with my dad) and I'm used to going to almost every game in the season, buying the new shirt etc..
For me, watching the game is just a part of the experience.
It's the routine, travelling to the game, seeing the floodlights lit up going over the bridge, getting some overpriced lukewarm grub, sitting in the cold for two hours then talking about the game on the way home with me dad.
That being said, I found myself especially this season being quite disconnected from Forest. Not necessarily for the on the pitch stuff because lets face it, we're used to it not going well at this point but not being able to go.
Seeing the City Ground empty on television when a games on, no rousing rendition Mull of Kintyre, no Derby or Leeds at home to go to. Didn't want to buy the shirt this season, season ticket has been on a rolling refund.
My dad's recently unfortunately picked up COVID which given how it's affected people, he's doing better now but you know never how that's going to go but Forest has always been something we've done together.
I'm not sure when we'll all be allowed to go back and I think i'll probably give it a bit of time before I go back, but what I have learned is that Forest for me is much more than just the result.
