Promotion to the Premier League is starting to sink in for Nottingham Forest fans as eyes turn to next season.
The Reds play in the top division for the first time in 23 years in 2022/23, after success in the Championship play-offs. Last month’s 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium saw the long-awaited return to the Premier League become a reality for the club.
Preparations are already underway for a season where the younger generation will see Forest in the top league for the first time in their lives. Steve Cooper’s side have already been linked to a number of players ahead of the transfer window officially opening tomorrow (June 10).

With the new season getting ever closer, the Premier League have now signalled the start of the new campaign. On Twitter, the league shared a video showing the table being refreshed from the season just gone. The league, of course, including Nottingham Forest.
With the table in alphabetical order to start, Forest start the season in 16th place. But it was the presence of the Reds that caused excitement among fans. Here’s what just some had to say.

CB : What a thing of beauty #nffc
Ben Norton : If Forest end up 16th or higher, I will be a very happy fan! Having beaten Arsenal and Leicester last season, I can see no reason they shouldn’t compete. Not your usual play off promoted team, if our form under Cooper had covered the whole season we’d have been automatic. #NFFC
Fletch : Can't stop watching this. Finally starting to become a reality! #NFFC
Hull Tricky Tree : This graphic is helping the penny to drop (still hasn't fully ) #NFFC
