Forest & Notts County Relations

[Jasper Scarrott]

To be fair though there are dozens of clubs where we can send some of our youngsters to not just the Sadpies. More recently Mansfield, Port Vale, Lincoln and Woking for example.

Definitely.

The benefit of having them closer to home is logistics and not having to uproot a young lad for twelve months. A settled player is a happier player.

[Jasper Scarrott]

Yes, I see where you are coming from Username.

There’s a counter argument that if he’s playing and the team is successful he’ll be settled and happy regardless.

Out of interest, what do we have to gain by having good relations with them? (I know they have a lot to gain).

To be totally honest, nothing.

It's all about our owners image and how he wants to portray himself.

I suppose we should be grateful that County let us play in their stadium after the Main Stand fire in 1968. We played six games at Meadow Lane.
