FOREST AWAY: Manchester United, Sunday 17th May – Fan Guide
We are almost there. 28 away days and (almost) done. Trip 29 would have been nice but it was a step too far. The mauling at Villa was incredibly sad and frustrating but, still, Europa League semi-finalists has a nice ring to it, despite the ending still stinging a little bit. I don’t need to […]
FOREST AWAY: Aston Villa, Europa League Semi-Final Second Leg, Thursday 7th May – Fan Guide
I can’t deny it was a little underwhelming putting this particular guide together. There isn’t much the 2,000+ Reds will need to know about a trip to Villa Park. The vast research that had gone into previous excursions isn’t really needed for this one. There isn’t any notes required on currency, the climate or any […]
FOREST AWAY: Chelsea, Monday 4th May – Fan Guide
The next few days could legitimately be among the most important we have ever faced. Games in West London and the West Midlands aren’t just vital to this season but could be huge landmarks stamped onto the history of Nottingham Forest. Survival can’t be mathematically achieved at Stamford Bridge but we could find ourselves a […]
FOREST AWAY: Sunderland, Friday 24th April – Fan Guide
A 25th away stop of the season. We know there will be at least three more trips after this one but we will be longing for a fourth, one final glorious voyage overseas. After the antics in Porto and a pretty decent haul of points in the following home games, we have our first Premier […]
FOREST AWAY: FC Porto, Europa League QF First Leg, Thursday 9th April – Fan Guide
You’ll likely know what links the cities of Zurich, Berlin, Graz and Munich to our history. If you don’t, take a moment and it’ll probably come soon enough. This coming week the Portuguese city of Porto will become the fifth name on this exclusive list. Come Thursday night, all will have hosted Nottingham Forest in […]
FOREST AWAY: Tottenham Hotspur, Sunday 22nd March – Fan Guide
The general consensus on the streets and in the bars of Herning was that we could do it. I certainly felt we could, but there was an obvious realism to whether we would. Five minutes in and I was pretty damn certain it was happening. There was just a bit of magic in the air, […]
FOREST AWAY: FC Midtjylland, Europa League Last 16, Thursday 19th March – Fan Guide
Do you remember the first day of the summer holidays when you were at school? The most exciting of times when life stretched out beyond the horizon, and your imagination ran wild with what the next few weeks had in store. Every day was a new adventure. Playing football, turning up at your mates house […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester City, Wednesday 4th March – Fan Guide
I was sad to hear about the passing of Julie Pritchard recently. I didn’t know Julie particularly well but I had spoken to her numerous times, including out in Athens on the 2019 short pre-season tour, and she had joined us on previous boat trips and at the odd Forza Garibaldi event. I always found […]
FOREST AWAY: Brighton, Sunday 1st March – Fan Guide
Spain, Austria, Holland, Portugal, Turkey, and now Denmark. It’s another intriguing and exciting destination on our grand European tour. I was personally pleased we avoided having to repeat the trip to Betis, although Midtjylland does bring a more complicated itinerary and a much smaller allocation. I’ve seen a few numbers mentioned in regard to the […]
FOREST AWAY: Fenerbahce, Europa League Play-Off First Leg, Thursday 19th February – Fan Guide
Another mad old week in the modern history of Nottingham Forest. These European away guides are pretty big on the word count already so I’ll try not to get too lost in what has unfolded, but I do feel some relief the Dyche tenure has been brought to a swift conclusion. I was tired of […]
