It wasn't until noon the next day that Twain met all the Nottingham Forest team members in the restaurant, both players and coaches. There was no one in the hotel restaurant in the morning. Twain knew that everyone had gone through a full frenzied night of partying, so they all must have slept in. Anyway, the season had already ended, so he would not ask anyone to knock on their doors.
After the team lunch, they would take a flight back to England, then an open-top double-decker bus from Birmingham Airport into Nottingham. Following their arrival, they would have an interview with the mayor at the city square, after which they would climb onto the town hall balcony and meet the fans that would gather there. That was their itinerary for the day. There was no arrangement to celebrate during the evening at the City Stadium because it was closed for the final preparations before its demolition.
