Nottingham Forest's Chief Executive Mark Arthur has revealed that he and Chairman Nigel Doughty apologised to Dave Jones after he had been subjected to vile abuse by a section of supporters on Saturday.

Jones ran the gauntlet of a small section of the crowd during Forest's 1-0 defeat to his Cardiff side.

And Mr Arthur today revealed: "Both Nigel and I apologised in person to Dave after the game.

"We wanted him to know that the vast majority of Forest fans are fair-minded individuals and that small minority who took it upon themselves to abuse him and are not representative of our support."
