    Missed this game as had a wedding to attend but went to the Forest game the Wednesday night before. Got stuffed 4-0 & soaked as it pissed down all night & no roof on the away end.  This was the first time I heard the yippeeio song sung as there was a good turnout of the boys for this game

    I was on holiday in N Wales with 3 mates in a caravan, there was an almighty storm on the Tuesday night and the roof of our caravan peeled off followed by the walls collapsing. We were drenched along with our belongings and had to spend the rest of the night in a camp site building. Even though we were offered an alternative caravan, we declined and decided to piss off home but not before I had managed to convince my mates that Nottingham was not too far out of our way (we were heading for Stockport) and talked them in to going to see us play Forest. We got absolutely soaked again on that uncovered terrace, I had 3 well pissed off mates that day!

    Where did/does the Yippeio song come from? One of the my favourites - proper old skool – and I know Villa sing it too. Does anybody else?

    Went with me brother who’s a Leeds fan he said before game every time he had been to old Trafford Man Utd had never won had been with Leeds and some West Ham mates about 5 times. I remember saying well that will end today. 
    Unbelievable day bit like play off final with Sunderland didn’t think it was true and I was going to wake up. 
    Loved our adidas kits as well in them days.

    Think the original tune was from Ghost Riders in the Sky by Johnny Cash amongst others, but no idea how/why we adopted it.

    I was there and drank after the game in Altrincham.

    We got the midnight train which used to almost go to North Wales and got to Euston for the Tubes opening the next day.

    First time I heard it was at that Forest away game. Group of about 3-4 blokes near us started singing it a large part of the game - when they weren’t making monkey noises at Franz Carr as he tore us apart

    Pretty sure I heard it (not the Franz Carr bit) at The Valley before we left…
