""Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened," said Marinakis. "The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club's community. "We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover. "Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.""
""I was just by the buffet car. It was odd. I was at the end of the carriage, all these kids were running up and I thought it was like a prank - Halloween or students," said Day, who was travelling back to Hertford. "Then they're getting louder and louder, any sorts of people with blood on them [appeared] and I thought, 'Oh, bloody hell, this is not good'.""
