Nottingham Forest fans hit out at 'disgraceful' price of tickets for fixture

Nottingham Forest fans have hit out at Fulham after being told they must pay up to £35 to watch the Reds' trip to Craven Cottage.

Forest are due to go to London on Saturday March 19, although the game will be moved if they beat Huddersfield in the FA Cup next Monday.

Fulham have announced the pricing structure for the game with general admission set at £35. Restricted view tickets for adults are £33 for a game which could also be hit by train timetable problems given the 8pm kick-off time - the last train back to Nottingham is currently listed as being at 10pm.

Speaking on this week's Garibaldi Red podcast, Forza Garibaldi co-founder Greg Mitchell said fans were being taken for granted again.

"It's a disgrace. What annoys me more than anything is you can go to Arsenal away for £26. Why aren't the EFL doing something for fans," he said.

"It's an 8pm kick-off and could move to midweek. London is expensive enough. We may be able to get a train back if we beg and British Transport Police help.

"It shouldn't come to this. I don't know what we're supposed to do because you don't go to the games and you miss out on what you love. You do go and you're saying the prices are ok.

"It's a tough one. It's getting ridiculous. No doubt nothing will come of this and Fulham will do the same thing next game.

"The amount of games we get changed now for TV without any consideration for fans - the Bournemouth thing was the icing on the cake.

"This is more salt in the would. I feel like clubs are taking advantage of fans because they know they'll go anyway.

"What I will say is, I think Forest's season tickets are superb again, some of the best in the league, especially for the quality we're watching."

Meanwhile, Forest fans were equally as annoyed on Twitter. Here is a look at what they have been saying.

Warren Allsworth: £35 is embarrassing pricing from @FulhamFC for the Forest away fans. No wonder they can afford to pay silly wages at this level.. Time for @EFL to cap ticket prices.

Ashley: Not going to Fulham out of principal £35 is an absolute disgrace

Isaac Bloomfield: Fair play that’s some of the most horrific pricing of all time.
