FOREST AWAY: Sturm Graz, Europa League Match 4, Thursday 6th November – Fan Guide
I have to keep casually reminding myself that I’m off to see Forest play in Austria. Seville was a tremendous, barmy experience and one I shall never ever forget but this was always the trip I was looking forward to the most. Somewhere a bit more off the beaten track that feels a bit less […]
FOREST AWAY: Bournemouth, Sunday 26th October – Fan Guide
On paper, Sean Dyche was handed an extremely difficult opening game against a very good and a very in form Porto, but he also had the extreme good fortune of not being the other guy he had just replaced. His new players also looked like they had a new sense of freedom; something similar to […]
FOREST AWAY: Newcastle United, Sunday 5th October – Fan Guide
As the Midtjylland attacker composed himself in front of the Forest goal, about to make it 3-1 to his side, all manner of thoughts clicked through my head. Chiefly, like your own no doubt, it was ‘Oh no’, but I also gave the briefest of considerations to what was about to happen in the stands. […]
FOREST AWAY: Real Betis, Europa League MATCH 1, Wednesday 24th September – Fan Guide
When the times comes in 2065 to write the 200-year history of Nottingham Forest, I wonder how this period in our ‘past’ will be recalled. The author will write about promotion, about a sweet renaissance and a load of merry old hell around the years that followed, and they will come to our enrolment into […]
FOREST AWAY: Burnley, Saturday 20th September – Fan Guide
A 3pm on a Saturday? What is this dark magic?! We all know that traditions are dying fast in this game of ours, including the conventional mid-afternoon Saturday slot that we are so often deprived of these days. I hear the Premier League and the Football League every summer herald that even more games will […]
FOREST AWAY: Swansea, League Cup R3, Wednesday 17th September – Fan Guide
I can’t have been the only one who shuddered when this tie popped out in the draw. One of the places that is always high on my list of teams to avoid, and now it’s happened. Sandwiched in between trips to Arsenal and Burnley and only a week before the adventure to Betis. I think […]
FOREST AWAY: Arsenal, Saturday 13th September – Fan Guide
To London, to Swansea, to Burnley, to Spain. The busiest ever period of away travel in a generation begins with a visit to the Emirates. And the beginning of another era for the Garibaldi Reds. *** My response to this week’s news has ranged from mild bewilderment to an uneasy level of acceptance how in […]
FOREST AWAY: Crystal Palace, Sunday 24th August – Fan Guide
Welcome. Another season of away days is about to begin and, as you are all accustomed to now, they are accompanied by these little guides to entertain, to inform and, yes, to suggest a parking spot quite often which I know is the main draw for many of you! I think these away previews began […]
FOREST AWAY: West Ham United, Sunday 18th May – Fan Guide
Here we are. Another long season comes to a close and the Reds, quite remarkably, are going to finish in the European places. Securing that goal was certainly an anti-climax given Leicester’s late equaliser and the worrying injury to Taiwo, plus we have that anxiety about claiming a Champions League spot to contend with, but […]
FOREST AWAY: Crystal Palace, Monday 5th May – Fan Guide
It’s been a painful, damaging week. The Wembley pride was quickly replaced by despair after a bad defeat against Brentford. Picking ourselves up off the deck has been a calling card of the campaign and it’s the only choice now if we want to sustain a Champions League push. Are we shattered? Have teams figured […]
