K/O time for Forest V Rams altered due to Police

Early K/O

August 27 2003

After a request by Notts Police the Rams away game with Notts Forest has been brought forward by two hours. The game on September 27th will now kick off at 1pm

It is unsure as yet why Nottingham police have had the kick-off time altered for the September 27th game between Nottingham Forest and Derby County.

The police alerted the FA to their fears and requested that the game now kick off at 1pm rather than 3pm as normal.
The FA Officials agreed with the police and have now told both clubs of the change.

Fans are a little bemused by as to why the small change in kick-off time has been implimented and as yet Nottingham police have not revealed their reasons.
