On the night of the game, the pubs in Nottingham city center were dismal. A number of pubs stocked up on beer to celebrate the victory, but almost did not sell any after the end of the game. Sales were slow moving — a tied game caused the team's ranking to go from the first to the second, and nobody was in the mood to drink. Once the game ended, the fans who went to watch the game live went home, washed up, and went to bed.
Fortunately, the Nottingham Forest fans had not yet learned to shout "heroes" after a victory, so they also did not yell out "cowards" and accepted the outcome of a draw.
There were concerns on the team that Twain's unexpected calm behavior after the game was a precursor to a storm. They were apprehensive at training the next day, but Twain behaved as usual and joked with everyone, without any signs of taking his anger out on the team.
