Carlton Town’s coffers got a welcome boost on Saturday when more than 200 Everton fans descended on the Bill Stokeld Stadium in Gedling before their encounter at Forest for some pre-match pints.
Carlton Town’s club ambassador and Forest legend Ian Storey-Moore came down to the ground to greet fans.
Nottinghamshire Police also sent down officers to ensure everyone was safe.
This was the third group of away supporters to call in to Carlton’s ground before a Forest game. Newcastle United’s fans have visited twice after playing Forest on their way to league cup glory and also for the Premier League match at the City Ground.
A spokesman for Carlton Town FC said: “A big thank-you to Tony Prince from the Everton Supporters Club who organised the visit. The clubs coffers were boosted with a significantly boosted bar take.”
It wasn’t a great weekend for The Millers or Nottingham Forest. Abdoulaye Doucoure scored a late winner for Everton at the City Ground to beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 and dent their hopes of Champions League qualification.
Carlton lost 3-0 at home to top-of-the-league Cleethorpes. You can read the match report HERE.
