  • Nottingham Forest
    1 State of Play: GOTP 10-Year Review Nottingham Forest Finally seeing the woods through the trees? Photo: Jambox 998 via Flickr (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) AFTER narrowly avoiding relegation to the third tier of English football in 2016-17, Nottingham Forest went into the current season under new ownership and with hopes of fulfilling some of the club’s potential. Forest are enjoying their best attendances since 1995- 96 and going as far back as the glory days of Brian Clough and the two European Cup triumphs, gates at the City Ground have rarely been as high as they are currently. Since the Premier League era began in 1992, Forest have largely been excluded from English football’s elite bracket – of the 25 seasons since 1992, they have spent 17 in the Championship (second tier) and three in the third tier (League One). Only five seasons have been spent in the Premier and three of those campaigns have ended in relegation. To some extent, Forest have become marginalised, like many Midlands clubs that once belonged to the top bracket – teams like Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Derby County and 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers. All of these clubs represent a significant part of English football’s heritage, but they have struggled to regain their position at a time when the game has high levels of public interest, corporate sponsorship and TV broadcasting support. Many of these clubs are now coming in sight of overseas investors, which may make them more competitive in their own domestic environment. Forest are one such club, having been taken over by Greek businessmen in May 2017.
