    I doubt if 90% of football fans could point to most places on a map.

    Yes but the allocation is based on the capacity of the ground not the reduced area open due to ****wit owners owners driving fans away.

    Nottingham Forest are not a ****ty tin pot side that hardly anyone has heard of. Also we would not be outnumbered if our own supporters actually came to games instead of looking for excuses not to.

    Fair point, but perhaps attendances would be a tad higher with a regime that knew something, anything, about football.

    Forest will lose and their army of 4000 will go home very disappointed.
    We are quite used to quarter finals, semi finals and a final the last few years so the cup isn't as exciting for us.
    Let them have their big day in the 4th Round of the cup.

    You keep banging on about fans looking for excuses for not going. Why the **** would anyone need an excuse? People have 'reasons' for not going, that's very different to an 'excuse', isn't it.

    You know full well why fans have stopped attending. You're either burying your head in the sand or you're a thick ****.

    Excuses? Ffs, if you asked someone in the pub "So what's your excuse" and they replied with 'I don't need an excuse pal, I just don't want to go', what could you possibly say to that?

    Good luck to you with this 'excuse' thing then <laugh>

    Yeah, wonder what those ‘excuses’ are that now see us average lower attendances than we had in the bottom division?

    Well, well, well...back to E3, from where some of us started on this unwanted stadium odyssey.

    Eviction after eviction and now it suits the club to turf us out of where they turfed us into.

    Mean while a block of 4,000 seats gathers pigeon ****.

    Someone email Martin Samuels and update him on the sorry farce we have these days at the KCOM.

    It's truly grotesque.

    Doubt it.

    Club has no idea about engaging with fans.

    As Martin Fish learnt with the Bradford fiasco in 1996, once you evict your hardcore loyal fans, there's no way back basically - you've lost them.

    People running things at City seem to regard fans as interchangeable and expendable, here today gone tomorrow, any part of the ground will do etc.

    Apology for the latest eviction? GTF

    It won't even have crossed their minds.

    Nope, it's just what happens during cup games when teams want their full allocation, see the Chelsea, Man United, Millwall and Everton games in recent years, I'm sure there was league games with Leeds and Scunthorpe as well.

    Logistically the north stand was designed to accommodate away fans in these circumstances and it's been the case since the stadium opened.

    At least it's not as bad as the league cup semi-final, we turfed Man United fans out of their seats and then didn't even bother to turn up.

    <doh> It's not an eviction ffs.

    It happens every time we have to give a team the full allocation and it's happened since the stadium opened, it's absolutely nothing to do with Ehab being a twat for once.

    Will NFFC sell 4k?

    Their fans seem underwhelmed by the draw.

    I am being evicted from the seat I go in every week.

    Ergo it's an eviction.
