Nottingham Forest supporters were out in force this afternoon as their team set off for arguably their biggest game in 23 years.
Steve Cooper's Reds take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium tomorrow night (7pm kick-off) knowing victory will put them in with a great chance of winning automatic promotion back to the Premier League. Lose, and the Cherries will go up instead, leaving Forest to fight it out in the play-offs.
And as the Reds set off for the south coast from the Nigel Doughty Academy, they were met by a sea of excited fans lining the street with Forest flags and setting off red flares.
Photos and videos soon made their way onto social media, adding further to the passion being felt by the Forest faithful ahead of the massive third vs second clash, which will be broadcast live by Sky Sports.

Forest favourite David Johnson - dad of Reds star Brennan - retweeted footage with the comment "What a send off", while under-23s assistant manager Dave Rodgers posted: "I just drove out of the training ground and into this absolute sea of red. Amazing scenes and support."
It means an awful lot to the players too, as seen on a video posted on social media by Brice Samba. The goalkeeper filmed the supporters from inside the coach, with another player towards the end of the clip saying: "Bonkers, this is."
The Reds kick off against Bournemouth at 7pm tomorrow. A win will see them leapfrog the Cherries into second place on goal difference - with a huge final day clash at Hull City on Saturday.
