Sheffield Wednesday Image Gallery – Saturday 9th September 2017
It was good fun in the Great Gatsby before the game and the tram ride to the ground was the usual swaying sing-a-long. It continued onto the concourse but it all went a bit flat from there which was a shame. Some will blame the performance on the pitch or perhaps the tea-time kick-off meant […]
Sheffield Wednesday, Saturday 9th September 2017 – 5:30pm k.o
My first ever away game was at Hillsborough. December 1998 on a chilly Monday night. I was fourteen and insisted on pulling the red shirt over my big coat which, I can see now, probably looked ridiculous. Unsurprisingly we lost, more surprisingly Thierry Bonalair scored. My main memory is being in awe as the away […]
Newcastle Image Gallery – Wednesday 23rd August 2017
An absolutely magnificent evening in the north east. Newcastle is a fine city and a terrific place to go and watch football. Well, that is until you take your seat miles above pitch level. All roads seem to converge on St James’ Park and the pubs were bustling with barcode clad locals from the early evening. […]
Barnsley Image Gallery – Tuesday 15th August 2017
A much improved performance but, alas, a first defeat. It’s a funny old game isn’t it? Still, Forest travelled in massive numbers which was great to see and we shouldn’t be too downbeat after 6 points from 9. The biggest pain was undoubtedly the miles of roadworks on the way home. Thanks to all who […]
Sticking Plasters
Well… How did we get here so soon? Alas, this is Forest and the latest implosion is normally only ever just around the corner. But I thought we were a little bit away from this sort of defining moment. I disagree with it, just to be totally clear. It would appear that there were some […]
Xmas Pre-Match – Bolton, Saturday 9th December
Come all ye Forest faithful! The final FG meet of 2017 will be at Southbank City (Friar Lane) on 9th December before the Bolton game. This is the last home game before Christmas so we’ll try our best to make it a good one with a bit of festive cheer. There’s a fair bit planned […]
The Dying Art of the Terrace Chant
I’ve been building up to this article. If you read through previous correspondence from FG you’ll see similar strands of an overall message – the importance of originality, not following the tedious atmospheres of others and building ourselves a reputation. Please keep in mind this is a personal viewpoint; it isn’t a manifesto or a […]
‘Sit down and show some respect’
I’m sure many Reds supporters have dreamt of getting into the changing room at full-time to give the players a good rollocking after a sub-standard performance. For one Forest fan, this dream turned into a reality during Gary Megson’s tenure virtually 12 years ago to the day. Notts County and Gleeds Director Jon Enever is […]
Always Glad To Be A Red
My first Forest v. Derby memory is listening to the radio aged 8 – it was April 1994 and a Gary Charles inspired Forest stormed to a 2-0 win at the Baseball Ground. Incidentally that game at Peterborough happened just a few days later. What a week that was. I’d frequented a few games by […]
