Derby fans paid £2,000 plus for a plane with a banner saying "we only had ten men" to fly over Pride Park and the City Ground, though apparently it was too far away for the writing to even be legible. I think the chap on the PA system at Forest actually had to announce what it was for them to notice it.
I assumed it was some reference to an infamous game in the 70s or something, not just the game they played earlier this season.
It was a reference made towards Forest, Burnsy and Swanny were intrigued by it for about 5 minutes until Fryatt scored!
Those banner flights are pathetic and yesterdays was a particularly **** banner, I think the fans must have made it themselves with some crayons.
The Forest view.... Fly your plane here every week.. As the forlorn little plane with the banner did a couple of circuits of the City Ground pre-match before heading for a trip over Pride Park to give Derby fans their only cheer of the afternoon, it was tempting to consider the folly in such a delayed stunt. That folly turned out to come true as the Reds went on to win, whilst Derby limply slipped to a home defeat against Hull. As Colin Fray said, I hope that plane landed okay, what with all the wheels falling off at Derby.
I never even noticed a plane, my eyes were fixed on the game, and didn't hear it either as I was near te back where the city fans were that loud we must have drowned it out! Credit where credits due, our away following was better than any silly plane! Ps. OLM, Millwalls "Avram Grant - Millwall Legend" one was brilliant
It was indeed, they had two of them.... please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
I didn't see it either, but i heard it. Must have been standing near you then. The Donny plane incident was a joke.
