TalkSPORT Simon Jordan has now issued an interesting claim on Nottingham Forest and the City Ground after Leeds United’s win on Thursday.
The Yorkshire club secured their spot in the Championship play-off final on Thursday after beating Norwich City 4-0.
Daniel Farke’s side could now find themselves playing Nottingham Forest next season in the top flight after a turbulent campaign for Nuno Espirito Santo‘s men.
Although not officially safe, it would take somewhat of a miracle to see Luton Town overturn the three points and 12 goal difference between the two sides on Sunday.
Speaking on the back of the emphatic win for Leeds on Thursday night, Jordan has now drawn a comparison between the two clubs.
And the former Crystal Palace owner has not drawn a comparison to the struggles both sides have faced on the pitch in the top flight.
What Simon Jordan has now said about Leeds United and Nottingham Forest
It is a season which Forest will be more than happy to see the back of with issues on and off the pitch leaving a bitter taste in the mouth.
Owner Evangelos Marinakis was expected to take legal action had Forest gone down on the back of some of the VAR decisions that went against them.
But one thing which has been there throughout the course of the season is the support from the City Ground faithful.
Forest have been up against it this season and could end up surviving by the skin of their teeth.
But the Forest fans have certainly provided visiting teams with a 12 man to play against when they have arrived at the City Ground.
And speaking on TalkSPORT on Friday morning, Jordan drew comparison to the atmosphere created at both the City Ground and Elland Road.
“When you go to Elland Road, you know you are at a football club. When you go into that stadium, you see the atmosphere,” he said.
“To some extent, it’s different but comparable when you go to Nottingham Forest, and you go and watch Nottingham Forest play. I have taken teams up there and see the atmosphere and the feeling towards the club.”
Andrew Omobamidele has also hailed the Forest fans
When the side is struggling in the way which Forest have at times this season, it would be easy for the fans to vent their frustrations.
However, this has not been the case at Forest with the City Ground uniting behind their players.
And that is something which has not gone unnoticed by the players with defender Andrew Omobamidele hailing the Forest fans.
“Tuesday night was a great night. I keep going back to it, but the fans were amazing,” he said after their win over Fulham.
“You know, it was something I haven’t really experienced too many times in my career, that level of noise from minute one to the last.”
