I’ve been here at Wembley a few times around 40 years or so ago. I’m really looking forward to seeing Forest play at the new Wembley.”

Ken McCall, 69, who travelled with wife Carol, 65, from Northern Ireland for the game, said: “I was nearly sick, we’ve travelled all the way from Northern Ireland. We’ve been supporters for 45 years.”

John Pingitzer, 51, who travelled from Liechtenstein this morning, said: “I’ve supported Forest all my life and have come here without a ticket. I travelled from Vienna this morning to be here. I’ve been a lifelong fan and I’m here on my own. I’ve waited for so long to see something like this. We’re going to win.”

Ed Swatman, 78, said: “I believe Forest will win. I’ve been waiting 30 years for happy times again. There is a feel of Clough around, Cooper has the backing of all fans here. The players are committed, and there’s great leadership inside the camp.”

Finlay Seymour, 9, from Bingham, said: “I think it will be 2-1 Forest.” Dad Neil Seymour, 43, said: “I agree. We drove down to Bedford way and then completed the journey from there.” Dan Merriman, 24, a Forest fan from Derby, said: “I’m pooping myself. We drove down, and I’m not confident, but I always feel like that.”
