Note to Self
A letter from 36-year-old me in May 2022 to 13-year-old me in May 1999. *First written for an issue of the Trevor Francis Tracksuits fanzine in 2022* Ayup lad. I hope this letter finds you well. You don’t know me yet, but I know a little bit about you. If I’m correct, you are about […]
FOREST AWAY: Burnley, Sunday 19th May – Fan Guide
The sweeping glass façade offers a perfect vantage point for the owner to look down on what he has built, single handedly. The players have just arrived at the Jorge Mendes Arena, and they greet him warmly but with great respect. He had decided to pick the team today, this game was just too important. […]
FOREST AWAY: Sheffield United, Saturday 4th May – Fan Guide
There are many happy memories from May 2022. For reasons that are understandable, the trip to Bramall Lane often gets pushed down the conversation behind Samba’s penalty exploits and Wembley, but what a day it was. There was nagging feeling of dread that Sheffield United had managed to snatch a late goal but mainly the […]
FOREST AWAY: Everton, Sunday 21st April – Fan Guide
Hell of a week. As a small update on our early comms around the season card pricing, the club have endeavoured to communicate directly with both ourselves and the Advisory Board. Meetings are taking place over the next few days, the first of which occurred on Friday morning and was an opportunity for the FAB […]
Nottingham Forest Season Card Prices 2024-25 – Forza Garibaldi Statement
We are dismayed and frustrated to see the significant rise in season card prices. At a time of great financial strain for the people of Nottingham and beyond this is both inconsiderate and damaging to supporters. We feel it also deeply damages the relationship between club and fans. Based on figures we have calculated, the […]

FOREST AWAY: Tottenham, Sunday 7th April – Fan Guide
Tuesday. A magical, marvellous Tuesday. The scarves twirled and the Trent End bellowed, urging the rest of the crowd to join it in unison. There are many bad days following a struggling Premier League side, but there are sometimes days like this one. Where you catch a waft of something utterly irresistible and your soul […]
FOREST AWAY: Luton Town, Saturday 16th March – Fan Guide
For about an hour on Wednesday night, we caught a glimpse of our potential future. Luton had glided into a 3-nil lead at Bournemouth and our survival prospects had never looked as bleak. That the final score perhaps serves as Forest’s best result of 2024 is telling. The visual of Forest below the dotted safety […]
FOREST AWAY: Brighton & Hove Albion, Sunday 10th March – Fan Guide
As I write, somewhere in what I assume is a big room in London, the Premier League status of Nottingham Forest is being debated. A much-publicised hearing designed to decide upon what punishment is to be handed down for our breach of PSR rules. As I understand it, we have admitted our guilt, so this […]
NFFC Fan Advisory Board – City Ground Redevelopment
On Monday 26th, Forest reached out to the Fan Advisory Board (FAB) to arrange a last minute meeting, with a limited remit of ‘an important update regarding stadium developments’. This fell outside of the previously mentioned remit of the FAB – where board meetings have to be scheduled two weeks in advance, along with agreed […]
