Erm its usually about than OS price or 1/2£ each way dependant on numbers however when my mate booked it ( you have to book for away games ) apparntly it was nearly full.

You could give andy a ring

Heanor branch - andy trigg and see if theres any seats left.

Im not sure if thats the correct number or not now. However if you scroll down the page theres his alternate number which is the one iv got so its one of the two except its under brance secritary further down, but it does say andrew trigg.

Im not sure where it picks up in eastwood but it allways picks up at the new white bull i can assure you of that.

Got my tickets through the post this morning and noticed WBA are playing some team called Notts Forest in this game.
I nearly had a heart attack when i saw this. always makes me angry when we are called 'Notts' Forest

Because Notts County and Nottingham Forest are in the same area, and people like to abbreviate long names (save on printing costs etc) - anyone who is unfamiliar with the differences between Notts and Nottingham is very likely to simplify and use Notts. Especially considering the fact that other cities with two teams have the exact first names e.g. Manchester City and Manchester United who both get abbreviated by Man City/Man Utd, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United who both get abbreviated Sheff Wed/Sheff Utd.

I encountered this before with a web site and sent them a polite email and they changed it to Nottingham Forest.

It's Nottm Forest. It's widely known in football and people do it on purpose to wind us up. Dosn't bother me that much though.

West Brom are big boys who spanked Watford 5-0.

However, Forest are big boys and can stand up to them. My prediction is a tough match ending in a draw, or Forest getting a last minute winner.

Surely Nottm & Notts makes no difference in terms of printing costs per ticket?

I doubt the West Brom ticket office are on a wind up mission.

I guess whoever prints the tickets at WBA are unaware - bit like the web site I complained to. If they knew beforehand, I'm sure they would have used NOTTM but then no-one knew that they weren't going to know.

You'd be surprised. I've seen Notts County and Derby do it in the past.

Did anyone complain to them?

Alternatively, did Nottingham Forest respond by printing D**by on Derby's tickets?
