Head coach Steve Cooper has defended Nottingham Forest’s decision to fly to Blackpool for Saturday’s FA Cup tie.
The Reds have been criticised by some for opting to make the journey by air, with the flight lasting about half an hour and the squad then being picked up at the airport by the team bus which had travelled ahead. It comes after the club announced an extension of their partnership with E.ON in November, with the aim to "raise awareness of the climate crisis".
Cooper's side were knocked out of the competition in a dismal 4-1 defeat at Bloomfield Road. But the Forest boss says they are not alone in the Premier League to travel to games by plane, having also done the same for last week's match at Southampton.
