The recent Forest fans survey conducted by ForestFC.co.uk concluded that 89% of Forest fans are expecting promotion next season. A little optimistic? But is it founded...

We at ForestFC.co.uk recently conducted a survey in order to discover what you the Forest fan expect from next season's campaign. It seems that a large majority of you predict that we will be playing in the Premiership in two seasons time and this has been reflected by the Bookies odds- we have been made 12-1 to win promotion.

Poll results

Question: Can we really win promotion from Division One next season?

Yes 89% No 11%

Is this optimism unfounded, though? We cannot forget that we have just come off the back of a long hard season in which we struggled to maintain our First Division status. I know Joe Kinnear has worked magic by keeping us up and into 14th and by taking us on an 8 game unbeaten run- and I'm not just going to say this to get the site hits from a contreversial view or just because I'm a rather negative and pessimistic person, no I'm going to say it because I believe that honesty is everything and lying is a sin isn't it? I chose to remain, maybe optimistic of better season than last, but very cautiously.

Though I do believe it is possible for us to gain promotion next season and that we are tipped by a lot of our fans to do so- I'm not going to have too high expectations and then, if we have another season like, feel the pain and let-down hell that I have done this campaign.

Anyways, that's my view, if you don't like it then feel free to disagree below- freedom of speech and all that. A new poll will be up soon and thanks for your participation in this weeks survey.

Thanks,
