There you go, there's the difference. I'm sitting here in Alicante province, it's overcast and there's a possibility of rain, but it's still 27°C!

29° here today

I didn’t realise it was an 8pm kick off, this doesn’t help the enthusiasm to go. Will see how the weather looks, if it’s like it is now then it will be a sofa job.

3-1 Forest.

Big test for Sheeezy. A humiliation can't be ruled out.

Can't see much of a turnout of die hard fans pitching up for Sheeezy's drab, indifferent, Vanilla fayre.

Also can't see many Forum diehards showing up and actively supporting us on a wet Wednesday...

Champions League night with Liverpool as well

Official Carabao Matchday Thread: Round 3: Swansea v Forest, Wednesday 17th September 2025; KO 20:00

I am expecting us to win this one, without going to penalties, but I am also thinking that maybe a short run might be good for us, as it would give Postecoglou more time with the squad on the training pitch. The Swans are currently riding high in the Championship, with their main striker on 4...

Shambles with tickets really. Opened up the whole ground expecting it to be close to full, and appear to have sold maybe 4,000? No idea what they do from here to stop it looking embarassingly empty on TV, but good luck

I thought the way they handled tickets for the Plymouth game was bad enough, opening new sections only when there were practically no seats left in the open sections (meaning plenty probably didn't look again and so didn't attend), but now they've gone entirely the opposite way. Looking at the seats available, this is going to look like one of those initial post-Covid lockdown games with fans spaced out around the stadium!

Hardly anyone will be watching it on TV anyway. They will all be watching these matches if they have any sense.

They are looking for a new ticket manager I think I read somewhere. Any sense and the East stand Singing sections would have been opened for this match and the West Stand for the posh fans, old fans, children, etc. they gave Forest 1,976 tickets straight off the bat, and they are all spread out too. Instead of keeping them in one section. Forest have sold around 800 to 1,000 last I heard.
