Yet another defender!!
Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Danny Cullip from Sheffield
United.

The 28 year old central defender has cost The Reds an undisclosed fee and is
manager Gary Megson's eighth summer signing.

Cullip tied-up the formalities of his switch to Forest earlier today.

He has signed a three-year contract and has been allocated squad number 22.

Cullip started his career with Oxford and had spells with Fulham and
Brentford before his career really gathered pace with Brighton.

During his five year spell with Brighton, he was appointed captain and twice
scooped the south coast club's 'Player of the Year' award.

United paid £250,000 for his services in December of last year.

He made 15 League and Cup appearances for them but ended the 2004-05
campaign on loan with Watford.

But should be playing in front of a good home crowd
Nottingham Forest are expecting a bumper 20,000-plus crowd for their opening
day clash with Huddersfield Town - after selling more than 11,000 season
tickets.

Despite relegation to League One, sales are down by less than 4,000 on last
year's figures.

And, with about 18,000 tickets already sold for the visit of the Terriers -
including those season tickets - chief executive Mark Arthur says supporter
backing has been impressive.

"We have sold just over 11,000 tickets," he said. "We had budgeted for
around that, but we are still very pleased. We had hoped for something
between 11,000 and 12,000, so we are about where we thought we would be.

"But it is impressive backing.

"It is down on the 15,000 we had last season, but considering the
circumstances, it is very good support. And there should be a crowd of over
20,000 for the game on Saturday, which is great.

"We have already sold more than 17,500 tickets, including 2,500 fans from
Huddersfield.

"But hopefully there will be plenty more who pay on the gate."

Ironically, if Forest were to get regular gates of more than 20,000, it
could see the club raise more money through the turnstiles than they did
last season.

"Season tickets are heavily discounted, so if we do well and crowd levels
are high, we could actually make a little more money," said Arthur.

"If we are having more people paying on the day, then the income will be
greater."
