I hope the wierdness of this article lies in the google translation!

Highlights

County

The club is considered the inventor of the offside and were also the inspiration for a Juventus shirt for their pink knitwear to replace the striped black and white :leacock:
It ensures that Notts County are on the fourth and lowest level of professional convenience England
The anthem of the fans is about a wheelbarrow which falls from the wheel and thus the club is also unique in the world

Forest

One is that in contrast with County Forest just their shirts from Italy. Giuseppe Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian freedom fighter, and his army wore distinctive red shirts and they looked a bit in Nottingham

The Match

Sir Charlie Palmer Day. That day seems an eternity ago already. Kurt Cobain, George 'Hannibal' Peppard en Ayrton Senna lived and made the football world at the World Cup in the United States.

Where Forest again this season immediately after his doctorate, was subsequently Notts County sunken

Exactly one years after that first meeting were two balls from each other again after the big tube removed. This time the game was played at Forest, who immediately made clear that they were the team of the city.

It also ensured the Forest in terms of fanbase quickly became the bigger club.. The choice from the establishment in the red shirts to play in honor of Giuseppe Garibaldi was also a sign of the off against the establishment and thus indirectly against Notts County. The choice of the Garibaldi-shirts was so very daring at the time when church and state were still powerful. Clearer could the club not the club for themselves as the "common man".

the list goes on...

That's quite an interest point - I'd never really thought about the political implications of wearing the Garibaldi red...
