Too cringeworthy for some.
In seriousness though, fantastic concept and brilliantly executed.

I loved the one before the play-off semi final v the blunts. Amazing.

I'm in Upper Trent so never really have an idea of what's gone up until after the game, but am never disappointed. Forza Garibaldi are best in class and deliver every time. The Liverpool generational one is a personal favourite.
Me too mate, it's my half time challenge to first get signal, and second find a good photo of the tifo

I find them impressive yet at the same time cringeworthy.
It's a bit too much "ooh, look at me, look at me" for my liking.
Possibly a generational thing.
Do your talking on the pitch.

I think, if this season has taught us anything, that our talking starts in the stands and radiates onto the pitch.

That fact that I've been going to the CG for 65-years possibly betrays my generation, and although I can only speak for myself I think they're great. I also believe the Forza lads and lasses deserve much credit for their efforts.

Like I said, they are impressive (and credit to Forza for that) but they are a bit too "hi-di-hi" for my liking. Each to his/her own.

That's one thing I do agree with. It must be a huge challenge to firstly create them and then secondly to transport them.
Like I said I find them cringe-wotthy and unnecessary personally but if you like them, you like them. If we announced we were having one every game for the next ten years I wouldn't be bothered. I don't feel that strongly about them.

I'm not having a pop, but you don't go to the City Ground and therefore you won't appreciate any impact they may have as part of the immediate pre-match build-up.
I love a decent Tifo, my local side often has them, made by several of the Ultra-groups individually.
The Forest ones are brilliant. The key point here, is they whip-up the crowd pre-match, and get them going, and that is important, because the players feed off that energy - as they have themselves mentioned.
Yeah, some folk don‘t like them, in the same way some folk would rather just sit there sipping their Bovril and waving a rattle and shouting „I say, jolly good show!“ when something happens on the pitch. Each to their own.
Long may the banners continue, and props to Forza Garibaldi for their absolutely selfless work - all for free, of course - to get them made up and displayed.
(My favourite was the Guiseppe Garibaldi one).

They show a connect between the City, the club, the players and the fans. They let everyone in the ground know just what this club is all about. A uniqueness in this league.
Tomorrow, we have a chance to show all those London journalists, just how passionate and classy we are at Nottingham Forest.
No drums, no plastic ultras, no big flags waved when a goal is scored, no plastic clappers, no goal music....just a proper football atmosphere, generated by proper football fans.

If Tifo’s are cringe then I dunno what these are. Leicester crowd remind me of an England U21 game.
Embarrassing.

I'm in upper Trent End so never get to see them until later, but always think they are impressive and well thought out, not some tacky effort some other clubs may do that look like they've been thought up in 5 minutes whilst pissed down the pub. As usual Sky trying to ruin things though by having that camera right behind the goal so anthing hanging down from the upper Trent End now has to be split in half.

That was the best one, if it had the amount of scarves from last game it would be even better

From Forza's web site:
RISEN – v. West Ham, Saturday 13th August 2022
A first home game back in the Premier League. There is some disappointment still around this display, as great as it looked, because you only saw half of it. Sadly, due to objections within the club we could not unveil the Trent End element.
I'm intrigued. Someone must know?
My lads bought me a print of the generation one for Fathers' Day which made me very happy.

Incredible support throughout the season and a big shout out to Greg and the Forza boys for their efforts.
Well done everyone, you have been exceptional.

The atmosphere at the ground has been amazing and has made this season enjoyable despite being down at the bottom end of the league for much of the season.
I hope it continues. The City Ground is a special place when it is rocking like today and many other occasions this season.

A few of the regulars on the Arsenal fan TV channel that have watched Arsenal away for their whole lives have said that’s the best atmosphere they have ever witnessed.
We should be extremely proud as supporters, and need to do exactly the same next season - we have learnt we CAN have an impact on games.
