Forest fans have a really bitter onesided rivalry with Liverpool a bit like Leeds fans and Man United.
It started in the 70s, when they were serious rivals for trophies but what really took it to another level was the transfer of a star player, Stan Collymore, which like the transfer of Eric Cantona from Leeds, did not sit well with the fans for whom he had once been a hero. I was at the City Ground the last time Forest beat Liverpool, in 1996, when Collymore returned there for the first time with Liverpool and it was just about the most toxic atmosphere I've ever experienced. Collymore had to be subbed because it was getting out of hand and it was impossible for Liverpool to concentrate on playing football. They were beaten by the crowd. A lot of the Forest fans there today remembered that and the result was the same: 1-0.
I have heard a number of accounts of their fans lobbing bottles at away fans, so I await the closure of blocks at their ground as a matter of some urgency.
I wholly trust this will be the standard action taken, and not just a case of a club’s board giving the benefit of the doubt in every case to the away fans.
This is what it looks like when you give your fans a home end,
While here we move our most vocal fans when we have a big match.

Their noisiest fans are on the lower tier of the side stand where the dugouts are. They all stand up there, and as it swings round towards the away end.
The two-tiered “home end” is the quietest part of the ground.
