Chapter 32: A Visitor from Millwall (Part II)

When the game began, Donn was in the dugout to see Walker right. It was only because their opponent was Millwall that the atmosphere on the pitch changed completely. The visiting fans were thrilled to sing in their own stands, changing the lyrics to mock the Forest players at the game. Although they were smaller in number, they had a faint upper hand in sound.

The hardcore fans of the humiliated Forest will soon be in Mark; Hodge's leadership fought back with swear words, just like roast turkey at Christmas dinner, and how could there be no middle finger embellishment in these swear words?

If anyone heard such a buzz outside the stadium, they would have thought the stadium was full. Donn thought so, but in fact the attendance for today's game was even lower than in any previous game. Large swaths of the stands were empty, and there was nothing but police officers in bright yellow vests.

It's not that the game isn't exciting enough to attract an audience. It is deliberately done by the stadium management and the police, and in order to ensure the safety of the fans, some tickets must be withheld, and some stands and positions must be vacated as a buffer zone for fans on both sides.

The game itself wasn't even as exciting as the fans on both sides in the stands. Millwall worked hard, but they were unable to fight against Nottingham Forest, who were aiming to overtake, and they were beaten away from home. When Hellwood scored his 25th goal of the season and the third of the game, the visiting team Millwall lost their fighting spirit and the game ended early.

At this time, the Millwall fans in the stands became the protagonists again, and they constantly insulted the Forest players on the pitch and the Forest fans in the stands on either side, and there were even some clashes between the fans and the police in charge of security. Of course, these clashes quickly subsided, and it was not only the Millwall team who were playing away from home, but also the Millwall fans, and if they were smart enough, the best way to vent was to be honest and swear.

Because the game was decided, Donn simply watched the fans on the sidelines, and he wanted to find Mark in the stands; Hodge, curious what he was doing at this time. But there were so many people in the stands that it was too difficult to find someone like the other 20,000-odd fans in red.

As the game entered stoppage time, Don came with Michael behind him; Bernard's familiar shout.

"Tony! Nothing will change in this game, right? ”

"What do you think will change? We're three goals ahead now! ”

"That's good, I'll have to go with my son first. Remember what you said, and get the team in the Super League next season! ”

Bernard Jr. was standing next to his dad, wearing a red Forest jersey with George on it; Wood autographs his "virgin". Every time Don saw the crooked handwriting that was not as good as a schoolboy's, he wanted to laugh.

"It's not over yet...... Leaving the stadium early is not something a loyal fan does. Don was joking with Michael.

"I don't want to get involved in a big brawl after the game...... Damn it! If I don't see Nottingham Forest's name in the Super League entry list half a month later, Tony, I don't mind letting you see what the loyal fans do. Michael shook his fist at Donn, who smiled even more.

"I won't let you get your wish. Of course, don't think I can't beat you......" Don suddenly realized that there were children around, and said that these violent topics were not good. So he waved to Bernard Jr., "Goodbye, Gavin." Hopefully you won't be spoiled by your violent dad. ”

Little Bernard grimaced at Donn: "I won't, Uncle Violence!" ”

To Michael's laughter, Donn shrugged his shoulders and watched the father and son walk away. It's such an interesting family, looking at that kid's smart and clever appearance, it really makes people look forward to what kind of young man he will become when he grows up.

When Donn returned to the game, he heard three crisp whistles, followed by a loud cheer.

Walker stood up and took off the headphones that had been tucked into his ears, and then Donn smiled: "It's all over, our opponent is Sheffield United." ”

"Yay! I've been expecting this from the day I lost to them......" Donn gritted his teeth, "beat them and then we'll go to the Super League!" With that, Don and Walker's hands clasped tightly together.

Bowyer, who was next to him, also added his hand.

"I can't go to the Super League with you, but I want to see a day like that. The day Forest returned to the Premier League. ”

Don turned his head to look at the old man, who had laughed at himself when he had just become the head coach, stood by and even thought about replacing him. At that time, I didn't expect that now the three of them would put their hands together and work towards the same goal.

"Thank you, Ian." This statement is sincere.

"If Forest do come back to the Premier League after 12 days, I should be the one who says thank you. Tony. ”

Don was in a good mood and didn't want to be polite. He smiled and proposed, "When the press conference is over, the three of us will go to Kenny's bar for a few drinks." ”

"It's a good idea." The other two nodded in agreement.
