Nottingham Forest are investigating after a supporter said they were attacked in the home end at the City Ground. The 33-year-old, who was sitting in the upper tier of the Brian Clough Stand, claimed he tried to intervene to prevent a 'fight' during the Fulham game on Friday, September 16.
The fan, from Cotgrave, said he'd been to at least 500 matches over the last 30 years and has never had a problem before, especially at a home game. On the night of the alleged incident, the man, who did not wish to be named, said he'd been at the match alone.
He said: "They [Fulham] scored three goals very quickly and everyone was very upset as you can imagine. As the third goal went in, a couple of rows behind me there was a lad, who didn’t look too old, saying things to people leaving as he was a bit upset that people were leaving with half an hour to go.
