They were all Nottingham Forest Supporters!! Ha ha ha! Nice reply, but obviously wrong, especially about the Forest supporters, remember i had a season doing the pitch announcing there! Joking aside, the clue "cultural" really is a big clue, think what has been in the news fairly recently, with that word in it, and you should start to go in the right direction.
