It really, really isn't bad news at all. Forest have been selling out for months, it has had no impact on our attendances whatsoever and it is wrong to say doing well is bad for us, there is absolutely no evidence for this whatsoever. When Brian Clough took over and Forest started to become successful in the late 70's, we achieved our highest ever league position. As we were winning Division 3 and getting huge attendances in 76/77, Forest were promoted from Division 2. This season both clubs have had high attendances and reached the play-offs. Forests deserved promotion will not reduce our attendances and in fact, as others have said, may well end up with us benefitting from the City ground being unable to accommodate all those who want to watch them.
