StanSP Posted 8 November 2013 Posted 8 November 2013 I should think it's mainly because of the matches running up to it - beating Fulham in the last minute in a memorable match, beating Watford easily in a memorable match, on the back of a winning run, top 2, and playing some really impressive football. From the ticket sales we can see a lot of people feel the same. And that in itself gets people psyched up - if other people are. Last season we came into this fixture on a bad run and likewise the season before. One was midweek when the season was petering out and the other was on tv - the ticket sales were disappointing in both. This reminds me more of my first City - Forest home fixture back in February 2010, there was a huge build up and excitement, the last result between the two had been significant, and by the time kick-off came and especially by the end of the day I knew just how important it was. What a game to pick as your first City/Forest encounter! That victory was all the much sweeter after the battering they gave us earlier that season. Certainly shut their fans up!
Dickov22 Posted 8 November 2013 Posted 8 November 2013 Even though he's not trained all week? As of last Sunday, he was expected to be fit
Webbo Posted 8 November 2013 Posted 8 November 2013 Even though he's not trained all week? They've just been on EMT and Vardy has training with the squad.
Kitchandro Posted 8 November 2013 Posted 8 November 2013 What a game to pick as your first City/Forest encounter! That victory was all the much sweeter after the battering they gave us earlier that season. Certainly shut their fans up! Actually that was only my first home City - Forest encounter....... Sadly my first was the battering earlier in the season. Still, as you say that one made the 3-0 all the sweeter.
Father Ted Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 I have visions of Vardy running at Hobbs 1-on-1, Hobbs falls on his backside and Vardy slots away for his hat-trick putting City 5-0 up before the roly poly Reid scores a consolation from the penalty spot.
MC Prussian Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 If starting, Dyer will make his 150th appearance for Leicester, Nugent his 100th. Time to celebrate with a win, though I remain cautious. This game, more than any other, can go either way. I'd love a 3-1 home win, but we need to be really there today, up for it from the start and limit Forest's chances to a bare minimum. As Ric has already explained, their strikers tend to love to play against us and Reid is the long-shot threat in midfield.
MattyFromLE Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 This game has recipe for disaster written all over it. I'm usually really positive at home but. They've never won at the KP, we had an awesome result last week, we beat them for the first time in 40 odd years at their place. Full house, rememberance day... Lose 1-0 - probably an unmarked Jack Hobbs header. Having said that, I think we will be too strong for Forest. You know when you're a city fan, when you think: "things are going too well..."
StanSP Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Nervously excited. Shame I have to do 4 hours of work before setting off for the match!
Jakemoore Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 I'm getting excited! Today does feel like a big match!
foxfanazer Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Why is it that all week I've been confident we'll win this but now its the day we play and I'm worried we're gonna lose!

They beat us once at the KP in 2005 I think, but other than that I agree!
Tielemans63 Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 I reckon it'll be 2-2. Dont forget that Forest will be fired up for this one in the same way we were fired up for the Watford game. After the craziness of the playoff semi it gets overlooked that we snook in with that last minute winner at the Shitty Ground. They'll be well up for this but we're a tough nut to crack at home.
Simmo86 Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 They beat us once at the KP in 2005 I think, but other than that I agree! Yeah they did. 1-0 Gareth Taylor. We dominated them but couldn't score. They still got relegated though
Aus Fox Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 2- 1, Vardy first they will equalise and Liam Moore bullet header in the last minute to send 30,000 in the KP crazy!!
foxfanazer Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Would Love Morgan to score a bullet header in the last minute and run over to the Leicester fans patting the badge
Oxshottfox Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Had a dream last night that we win 6-0. Dead cert for this score then, well worth it given the previous predictive powers of my dreams. Admittedly the dream also involved a large inflatable badger and some semi naked girls but I am confident in my powers.
promised land Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 What are the odds on Muzzy scoring the winner tomorrow? Well worth a £ or 2! Well at the very least you will see one of his goals, in that fox video the play before the players come out. Anyone know how to get a copy of that?

Enjoy your Saturday night, hope the badger scratches arnt to sore in the morning
Simmo86 Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 I've got a feeling we're going to get turned over In fact I'm almost certain we will!
dayday Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Man for man we are the better side,play like we did last week we will win....so come on some of you,get these negative vibes out of your system and watch us kick there asses back over the trent
davieG Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Premier League referee Mr. Lee Mason from sunny Lancashire, gets the gig for the SkyBet Championship game at the King Power Stadium today between Leicester City and Nottingham Forest.
NewburyFox Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 On the train from Lincoln, Forest fans singing "it's Forest and Derby, you're all on your own." 6-0 Leicester, big Wes with all 6.
