Bab 1009: Another Derby

There have always been two professional teams in the city of Nottingham.

If not for this FA Cup match, most people might have overlooked this fact.

Many cities were proud of their "high-quality derby matches" as it proved that football had a very strong influence in the place and the quality of the teams was very high. This was almost impossible in the town of Nottingham as Nottingham Forest and Notts County were not on the same level.

Nottingham Forest had already won five UEFA Champions League trophies, while Notts County had not even reached the Premier League yet.

Due to the massive gap in position caused by the inconquerable gap in abilities, Nottingham Forest and Notts County had little chances of an official derby match.

Thanks to the FA Cup, such an opportunity presented itself.
