Why the early kick off for Forest on Saturday?

Recommended Posts

Police advice:

The game between Blackpool and Nottingham Forest on April 25th has seen its kick off time brought forward.

The Championship fixture was originally a 3pm kick off, but has now moved to 12:30pm.

The kick off time has been moved on police advise after trouble between the two sets of supporters in recent games. A group of Forest fans infamously trashed the Swift Hound in 2006 and have only been back once since then - which was a night game.

Disgusting behaviour, they should each have ten points deducted for failing to control their supporters ! [:P]

[/quote]A few fans got hurt that day, apparently it wasn''t nice at all after the game. At that time Forest were seen as a big scalp in the 1st Division (on and off the pitch), it was a mix of locals wanting to make a name for themselves and a few idiot Forest Fans wanting to re-create the 1970''s.I''ve only visited Blackpool once (and that wasn''t football related), even then it was a nightmare for violence. God knows what its like when a high pressure football match is taking place.

I was in the Swift Hound for a couple pre-match liveners when we played at Blackpool, and found it a friendly place. In the evening we were out in Blackpool and had no problems at all.
