Forest promotion set to bring in millions of pounds to county as Nottinghamshire celebrates

There were scenes of pure jubilation in the capital on Sunday (May 29), and undoubtedly some sore heads set for the following morning, after Nottingham Forest won promotion to the Premier League. The Reds beat Huddersfield Town 1-0 after an own goal to cue wild celebrations that were likely to last long into the night.

Forest fans at Wembley went wild as the Reds booked their place in England's top tier, while pubs and homes in Nottingham - and beyond - erupted in joy at the momentous promotion.

It's not just the club that is set to benefit. It's previously been said by Nottingham City Council that the city alone will get a boost of around £120m because of the result, along with an extra 100,000 visitors.
