An FA Cup semi-final is further evidence that Nottingham Forest are back in the big time. These grand occasions were commonplace in the club’s heyday, but this great club has not enjoyed such heady days for more than 30 years.
It has been an incredible season for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, fighting for a Champions League place but also the chance to lift a trophy that even the great Brian Clough never managed at Forest.
This is not just a day to walk out at Wembley and wave to the fans — this is a massive opportunity for Forest and a game they can win.
