Derby play Forest in the early kickoff that day so it might be a pain switching trains there if you were considering it.

Who knows, the railway network has the strangest prices with no logic to any of it. Never ever simply book tickets online or at a ticket office as you will be royally ripped off. |

Forest at Derby mate but know what you mean The fact that many a Stoke fan will change there will make it a headache. It was bad enough when we played Derby in the FA Cup a couple of years back, very tetchy indeed.  |

Those who will seek will no doubt find (and the footage will be on Youtube around 3 hours later...) |
