    Bonnie Blue defies Premier League stadium ban despite being escorted out after offer to give fans ‘good time’

Well, I attempted to. “I put on my socials, ‘hey boys, I’m going to be at the game, I’d like to film with you afterwards’.”I turn up at the football game and the gate security was like, ‘you are permanently banned from the ground’.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”I thought when they asked me to go to the side, ‘maybe they’re upgrading my tickets, maybe they want to escort me to my seat, this is quite nice, it’s a good service’.”They asked to see my tickets, I showed them and they took them off me, saying, ‘we’re escorting you off the premises’.”However, taking to her Instagram story on Sunday, Blue appeared to be in defiance of this ban as she filmed herself outside the City Ground.It is not clear whether she attempted, or managed to, enter the stadium itself.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKBlue, who has just shy of 700,000 followers on Instagram, had continued: “Apparently they don’t discriminate against sex workers but I was banned because I was a sex worker. “I was going to encourage them (the players), give them a good time. I also think if I’m entertaining the supporters it’s less people drinking so I’m actually doing something good for their health.”Nuno Espirito Santo argues with Nottingham Forest owner on City Ground pitch moments after disastrous drawBlue’s online notoriety exploded earlier this year after she claimed to break a world record by allegedly sleeping with 1,057 men in 24 hours.Forest were left feeling blue following their home game after falling to a 2-2 draw with already-relegated Leicester.Morgan Gibbs-White had powered his team into the lead with a goal and assist following Conor Coady’s opener, before Facundo Buonanotte opened the Forest defence to score late on.The result left Forest with just one win in six league games and sitting an agonising point outside of the top five.Frustrations crept over after the match as club owner Evangelos Marinakis stormed on to the pitch and appeared to confront manager Nuno Espirito Santo.Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville slammed the incident as “scandalous” and added Nuno should “negotiate his exit tonight” on social media.Neville later emphasised his view again on Sky Sports, saying: “I feel compelled just to mention what the Forest owner has just done on the pitch over at the City Ground is absolutely scandalous.“If I was Nuno I’d be going and having a strong word with him because that is an absolute scandal.“He’s just qualified for European competition and where that club’s been, and to be remonstrated with on the pitch in front of their own fans is an absolute joke.”Nuno explained Marinakis was frustrated over Taiwo Awoniyi, who played on despite being hurt after colliding with the post.Awoniyi was asked if he needed to be brought off but he said no, so Nuno took off Jota Silva instead.However Awoniyi was actually hurt and was not able to perform to the levels required for the last ten minutes, provoking Marinakis’ irritation.Nuno said post-match: “Football is emotions. Today there were more than 30,000 people in the ground with their own emotions. It was a tough moment, after the situation with [Taiwo Awoniyi] we had one man less after a misunderstanding.“It’s difficult to control emotions when we had so much expectation on a day like this.”Read More on The SunAsked if the Awoniyi situation sparked Marinakis’ reaction, Nuno confirmed: “Yes, it was because of that. It was a misunderstanding, a miscommunication. I’m sorry, I cannot go much further.“It’s based on emotions, you cannot make a big deal out of it. It happens and it will happen again. With the emotions today, it’s understandable.” More
