23 steps to prove you are a true Red as Wembley showdown beckons for Nottingham Forest

You call yourself a Nottingham Forest fan, eh? Trips to Wembley and talk of promotion to the Premier League tend to lure all sorts out of the woodwork - including a fair few glory hunters.

So, to mark a momentous occasion for Forest as they approach their first ever play-off final, we have devised a way to sift out the real, long-suffering Reds supporters from the Johnny-come-latelies hoping to jump on the coat-tails of a potentially glorious few days for Steve Cooper and his team.

Go on, give it a go…
