Nottingham Forest boss Nuno will approve of controversial changes as £33m deal announced

Latest Nottingham Forest news as the FA announce key changes to FA Cup from next season

Mull of Kintyre is iconic. Nottingham Forest fans in full voice at the City Ground, belting it out with scarves aloft, stirs the soul.

That there has been a debate on social media about whether to boycott the Reds’ pre-match anthem at their next home game is a clear indicator of the strength of feeling among supporters. Some have suggested not fulfilling this ritual against Manchester City later this month would send a message to the club’s hierarchy about the price hikes for 2024/25 season cards.

Almost 48 hours from Forest releasing those details, the backlash continues. Whether the reaction has any impact remains to be seen.

The club have been accused of being tone-deaf with the way they delivered their message – late-night social media posts about “record” renewal numbers and a waiting list of “11,000” almost served to pit supporters against each other. But the Reds cannot fail to have heard the voices of fans since.
