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 […]
TRAILBLAZERS: Chapter Four – A Quest for Silver
Owing to their stylish football and their role in developing and enhancing the game across the country, the Foresters swiftly earned a reputation as an influential and respected football club. What they lacked, however, was the ability to test themselves in actual competition and further push their credentials. It would take many years for Forest […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester City, Wembley, FA Cup Semi-Final – Fan Guide Part Two
I think my overriding feeling from 2022 was the exhaustion of it, maybe it was more delirium as fatigue combined with sheer joy to make a sweet Wembley cocktail. We partied and we sang, but there was relief and some tired faces. 23 years of trying to push a fat-bottomed football club up the hill. […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester City, Wembley, FA Cup Semi-Final – Fan Guide PART ONE
As noted in the away guide for Tottenham, we felt it was necessary to try and publish a ‘pre-guide’ for Wembley in order to assist supporters around certain aspects. A more conventional away day issue will follow later in the week, but this early edition is going to cover the following areas: SECTION ONE – […]
FOREST AWAY: Tottenham Hotspur, Monday 21st April – Fan Guide
Since the moment that Ryan Yates’ penalty snuck through to send us to a first FA Cup semi-final since 1991, things got a bit hectic. Two days after the shoot-out win at Brighton, a busy period began as I asked Forest about Forza Garibaldi / the Fan Advisory Board having some dialogue with the club […]
FOREST AWAY: Aston Villa, Saturday 5th April – Fan Guide
Every season, especially when there is something to play for, we reach a point where the run-in begins. I think that point has arrived. It coincides with a huge test against an in-form Villa who will be eyeing up our Champions League spot and wondering if they can somehow overhaul our lead. The comfort for […]
