Max Bird Signed (& loaned back to Derby) - CONFIRMED
Betty Swallocks replied to Finley_Smith10's topic in Football Chat
I guess leaving things for a committee to sort out can leave a bad taste sometimes and better working relationships can be found when making deals. -

Does academy status not come into it then? Always thought that’s why we were shafted a bit when Maddox went to Chelsea & Kane went to Liverpool. -

Plausable. He’s been with them since he was 10, amount of games played plus Derbys category a academy status. -

You’re looking at it the wrong way. Max Bird could have ran his contract down and took a bigger signing on fee in the summer. Instead he’s committed himself to Bristol City. -

That would depend on the fee. If we have paid around £1.5m then it wouldn’t be much less in the summer. -

I don't mean to sound like a broken record but we wouldn’t have been paying nothing in the summer. -

We wouldn’t have got him for free in the summer. I’d be taking the £2.5m rumours with a huge pinch of salt. -

The best way to look at it is, we’ve identified Max Bird to be Matty James’ successor, succession planning is good and something that should be praised. Derby were happy to risk waiting for the summer when they would have received a decent compensation package. We wouldn’t have been able to get the deal without the loan back being included so rather than risk losing someone that we clearly rate to a rival in the summer we’ve done a deal that suits both us and Derby. Had MB gone elsewhere in the summer, we could have ended up having to fork out more trying to get someone else to replace MJ. -

We wouldn’t be getting him for nothing in the summer. The amount of games he’s played already, Derby would have been due a hefty compensation sum. -

Smart recruiting, getting in ahead of everyone else in the summer. -
They were checking tickets but as with anything there are work arounds.

There and section 82. There’s definitely a lot in there who have season tickets in other parts of the South Stand.

Forest Replay: Ticket Details Announced 🎟️
Betty Swallocks replied to Port Said Red's topic in Football Chat
A Forest fan in one of the group chats I’m in seems to think this is a SAG/police decision. 2800 was all Blackpool were offered in round 3 as well. -
Forest Replay: Ticket Details Announced 🎟️
Betty Swallocks replied to Port Said Red's topic in Football Chat
That will because City decided to charge £10 for season ticket holders to attend while Forest have decided on £17, it’s as simple as that. -
A Friday afternoon off work to have a pub crawl from town down to the ground, what’s not to like? Wouldn’t want it every week but happy to have 3/4 home Friday night games over the course of the season.

Nottingham Forest home 4th round FA Cup match thread
Betty Swallocks replied to Jerseybean's topic in Football Chat
4th round still has replays. It’s only from round 5 onwards that games are decided on the day. I think from next season it will be from round 3 onwards. -
They definitely got what they deserved that day. Bullies trying to pick off City fans walking past in their 1’s or 2’s, weren’t so big when up against a bit of force.

Heard the £10 ticket offer hasn’t been taken up in large numbers so they are now offering a free ticket with every out of date bottle of Fanta purchased.

The next batch of highly rated young un’s are currently around the 17/18 age bracket. The signings of Stokes/Murphy could well be to bridge the gap.

In his big shorts!

I’ll be saddened if it’s not the case that when it all goes well and he plays his first Premier League game, if he rings his parents on the Sunday and his first line isn’t “guess who was on match of the day”

Given his season finished in October, would it be fair to assume that he’s doing his own mini pre-season plan?
