Forrester or Whitehill Cameo?
Do you guys think that the show will at any point maybe name drop one of these two houses in either this season or the future ones? I mean it wouldn't have to be much, but we see from the trailer there is gonna be a Bastard-Bowl going down later in the season. Wouldn't it be cool if Davos is doing a run down off the soldiers and bannerman with him and was like "We've got the Mormonts, Cerwyns, Forresters, and Reeds." I don't know it's an interesting idea and since the show is really separating itself from the book this season in some story lines I just think it be neat and a nice way for the show to promote the game. Plus, they already had Asha/Yara Greyjoy say in the 2nd episode that the Glovers had retaken Deepwood Motte. Perhaps we were involved in that?;)

I would die of happiness if the Forrester's got a mention on the show.
...unfortunately, I have no faith in it ever happening.
I would be supremely happy if an off-handed lines such as-...
"Lord Forrester pledge his support."
happens. I will be very happy indeed.
I cry everytime.
I highly doubt it but I would love what @DaveTheArakin is suggesting.
Bastardbowl makes the most sense for throwaway lines such as Ramsay, Davos, Karstark and Jon.
Ramsay- My armies are ready. Houses Umber, Karstark and Whitehill stand ready. (Maybe show some Whitehill flags at Bastardbowl).
Jon- Davos, how are our armies?
Davos- Houses Mormont etc.
Jon- You forget the Forresters. They've always stayed loyal to the Starks and the Boltons have taken lots from them. Send a raven to Lord Forrester (keep it vague, Rodrik or Asher.) Again, maybe show a Forrester flag or some Ironwood shields.
Thormund- Ever hear the tale of the North Grove, Jon? Nah? Forget it.
If they had to make one reference though I'd like this.
Cersei and Maergery are arguing. Handmaidens begin giggling.
Cersei- Quiet! You don't want to see what happens to handmaidens who defy the crown! (Keep it vague it could refer to what happens to Mira in Season 1 or 2).
I'm sad to say that the show will probably never acknowledge the game, much like how the Marvel movies never acknowledge Jessica Jones or Daredevil.
I feel the Glovers is as close as we're going to get
I think a reference would be cool but I don't want them to have any sort of preswnce in the show.
Or another way a cameo could happen is if Ramsay was talking to the Lords loyal to him before the inevitable big battle happens and one of them mentions Stannis's army of sellswords,(or suggests that sellswords fight with them against Jon) to which Ramsay says something like "sellswords don't fight well in the North, see how that worked for the Forersters."
Only possible reference would be a simple namedrop while either Jon/Sansa/Davos or Ramsay list the houses loyal to them before Bastard Bowl. Anything directly referencing to something that happened only in the game will never happen.
Not gonna happen
Wouldn't any appearance be a spoiler for the next season of the game at this point in the timeline? I don't want that.
