Government respond to petition to replay Nottingham Forest vs Huddersfield play-off final

The Government has provided an explanation as to why a petition to get Nottingham Forest's Championship play-off final against Huddersfield Town replayed has been rejected.

Forest won promotion to the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley in the play-off final on May 29. Steve Cooper's side booked their place in the top-flight for the first time in 23 years thanks to Levi Colwill's own-goal right before half-time.

The game was not without controversy, however, as referee Jon Moss - in his final game as an official before retiring - waved away two penalty calls from the Yorkshire side.
