Spurs respects

We are proud of our superb and loyal support at home and away.

We recognise that most supporters want to watch a football match and not listen to abusive or indecent language from the stands. Discriminatory behaviour which includes shouting, chanting or actions such as racist, homophobic, sexist or anti-disability behaviour is unacceptable. If you witness incidents like these, please report them using the information below.

The Club reserves the right to indefinitely ban supporters found guilty of using discriminatory language.

Reporting anti-social behaviour

To report any anti-social or discriminatory behaviour while at The City Ground, supporters can text FOREST to 60066 so that Nottingham Forest can investigate and take appropriate action.
