Nottingham Forest FURIOUS with Bournemouth's decision to postpone Championship fixture on Friday night... as the Cherries were set to be missing up to EIGHT players for the game

Nottingham Forest are furious with Bournemouth's decision to postpone Friday night's Championship fixture at the Vitality Stadium.

The postponement – owing to reported damage to the stadium caused by Storm Eunice – was only confirmed at 4pm yesterday afternoon.

That was less than four hours before kick-off and when many Forest fans had already arrived on the south coast or were several miles into their journey. Steve Cooper and his squad had made the journey down on Thursday.

Sportsmail understands that Forest pushed for the game to go ahead and are frustrated that there was no EFL representative at the ground to provide clarity on the situation earlier in the day.
