The biggest take-away from the dark days of games being played in front of empty stadiums should have been that football is nothing without fans.
Few Nottingham Forest supporters will be feeling like that at the minute, though. Especially the ones who had already made the long trip to the south coast or were well on their way there. Who had booked hotel stays and made travel arrangements to watch their team play against Bournemouth in a big Championship clash. Who might well have tweaked work schedules to make the journey. All at great effort and expense.
They have every right to feel utterly let-down, treated with total disregard and a complete lack of respect.
