BORO AWAY – Image Gallery
I will confess. On Saturday night I did something I’ve never done before. I tuned in to see the EFL highlights on Quest. Such was the gleeful mood I was in. There is an adage I fully subscribe to regarding not getting too low when you lose and not getting too high when you win. […]
FOREST AWAY: Middlesbrough, Saturday 6th October – Fan Guide
The post-international break revival will surely face its sternest test on Teeside this Saturday. I spoke before Blackburn last week about needing wins on the road but ‘Boro are one of the real contenders this season and another draw would be a very good point. The surrender of our two goal lead at home to […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackburn, Saturday 29th September – NFFC Fan Guide
We land in Blackburn on Saturday feeling a bit better about things compared to last time we hit the road. An unbeaten run of three league games including two wins (plus progress to the League Cup 4th Round) has us all reaching for our Bandy & Shinty league ladders rather than the aspirin but we know that any […]
A Fleeting Thing – Gareth Watts
As someone who works in Leicester and who sees the ‘2016 Champions’ newspaper pull-outs pinned to colleagues’ noticeboards yellowing like jaundice on a daily basis, I’m all too aware that success in football is a fleeting thing. Standing in applause to commemorate Cloughie on Saturday, it was a reminder of our own moment in the […]
The Boat Trip – Image Gallery
It rained and the football wasn’t particularly great… Welcome to another day in the life of Nottingham Forest. Well, no actually. As 7 (seven) boats crept towards Lady Bay Bridge, the gateway to what has now become an annual tradition of masses of red smoke, the rain poured down on us. But it mattered not. […]
The Forza Garibaldi Boat Trip – Saturday 22nd September
On Saturday we take to the River Trent once more in what is our third boat trip. Five boats of wildly differing sizes will be sailing, plus maybe the odd other one which decides to tag along. We depart from close to Trent Bridge at noon but those on board are asked to be in […]
The History Boys – Q&A with David Marples
At the beginning of September a new Forest book named The History Boys was released. It’s author, David Marples, may be familiar to some of you already as one of the creators and writers of the joyous quarterly publication Bandy & Shinty. Like other Forest books that precede it, The History Boys covers our rich history yet it digs […]
SWANSEA AWAY – Image Gallery
A 400 mile round trip represents our longest voyage of the season which made the 1,500 following a decent effort. After a rather unfortunate but nevetheless picturesque detour through the Brecon Beacons we arrived into Swansea not long after 1pm and joined dozens of other Reds and plenty of home fans inside the Harvester right […]
FOREST AWAY: Brentford, Saturday 1st September – Fan Guide
Crikey, September games are upon us already. And the first batch of games up to the maiden international break of the season ends with our visit to Brentford’s Griffin Park. It’s testament to how well Brentford have developed in recent years and how they have started in 2018/19 that this will prove one of our […]
Home. Home, where I wanted to go
I’m not actually a fan of 00s wristband rockers Coldplay, but this line – this one line – gets me every time. As the throbbing beat and repetitive riff of ‘Clocks’ builds to a crescendo, this single understated lyric soars with longing and regret. It speaks of the times your Mum called you in from the […]
