2-0 to the empty seats. Great atmosphere in the lower tier. The 1894 block did the business. Well done all who made it.

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure nobody gave a toss about empty seats at football grounds until the social media era. Nowadays rival fans are absolutely obsessed with it.Forest fans obsessed on wembley way about our empty seats. They got it back but I really don't get the obsession, well i do, history, cheats and empty seats its the only thing they can say about us.
Anyway fuck off you small time Robin Hood c****s!
Yeah, Istanbul was terrible for this.
Just funny that Talk Sport were giving city fans shit for not being there at midday.
Surprised to hear people online thinking Forest were good. Thought they did nothing. Maybe it'll sound different when I watch it at home.
I think the main thing was the nerves tooYep, 30 degree heat, dehydrated with no water, no food for 24 hours, day drinking and everything else we had to contend with on the day. Think kick off was 10pm local time too? FA Cup final atmosphere against the rags a week prior was far superior to that of the CL final.
Especially the last five minutes when we needed divine intervention about three times.I think the main thing was the nerves too
It was a real ‘city crowd’ today, great support and singing all game.May get stick for this, but I thought that's the best we've been at Wembley in a non rag game. Absolutely fantastic (despite the empty seats)
Nevizade street the night before, followed by more drinking on the way to the ground, get to the shitty fan park which the queues for food and drinks was hours long. Never felt more drained after the final whistle. I hadn’t had anything to eat for 12 hours and I was gasping for water. Little did I know I was about to spend 3 hours on a fucking bus back to Istanbul. Should have been party time, all I wanted was water and sleep.Yep, 30 degree heat, dehydrated with no water, no food for 24 hours, day drinking and everything else we had to contend with on the day.

Shame it wasn't the 40k from York away but great noise all the same.It was a real ‘city crowd’ today, great support and singing all game.
Hardly a peep out of the after Rico scored in the 2nd minute. After giving it the big un on the tube :-DForest fans were shit, they wore themselves out on tubes and trains before the game where I’ll admit they were lively
Bottom tier of ours was constantly steady for the whole 90

I know we're not allowed to express how we felt on Wembley Way in the sea of red, but embarrassed is too strong - disappointed (at numerous factors)? Maybe.
Anyway - turned out well.
The people fixated on seats don’t go to matches.I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure nobody gave a toss about empty seats at football grounds until the social media era. Nowadays rival fans are absolutely obsessed with it.
5000 fans couldn't afford to go today, and they've all had a field day. I'm not even sure who they're supposed to be taking the piss out of. It can't be us because we don't exist. City have no fans.
Forest must have drafted in some Notts County fans yesterday; they haven’t had that many fans at a game in Nottingham since 1979. In fact, they’ve only had highest attendances as big as City’s yesterday in Nottingham for decades.The irony of Forest fans calling us out for empy seats, if my memory is right they couldnt even fill there tiny ground when they were winning the european cup 2 years in a row :-)
