More on Nottingham Forest F.C.
Description from Wikipedia:
Nottingham Forest Football Club is an English professional football club based at the City Ground in West Bridgford, a suburb of Nottingham, England, currently playing in the second tier of English league football, The Championship. They have an illustrious history which encompasses winning two consecutive European Cups, along with the domestic title, two FA Cups and four League Cups.
Contrary to popular belief, the name Forest does not come from Sherwood Forest, but from the Forest Recreation Ground just north of the city centre which is where the team first played and is now the site of the annual Nottingham Goose Fair. The club is often referred to simply as Forest (not to be confused with the entirely unrelated older amateur side, Forest F.C., which is better known as The Wanderers F.C.), the name the club carries on its badge.
Forest fans dislike the club being referred to as Notts Forest. This is because Notts is the correct abbreviation of Nottinghamshire (hence Notts County), but not of Nottingham itself. The appropriate abbreviation of Nottingham Forest is Nott'm Forest.
Relegation to English football's third tier in 2004-05 made Forest the first European Cup-winning club ever to fall into its country's third division; however, Forest returned to The Championship after winning promotion at the end of the 2007-08 season.
Many of today's footballing rules and features, including floodlighting, shinpads, and even lettering on the stands have been pioneered by Forest. See below.
