We Won The League In Coventry – Part 1
April 22nd 1978. James Callaghan is Prime Minister; a pint will set you back around 25 pence and Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs by Brian & Michael is top of the UK charts. A certain Mull of Kintyre had been No.1 earlier that year. On this bright and sunny day thousands of people […]
Made in 1865
Not too long after the last large display on the opening day of the season a discussion began about a sequel. Derby was the obvious choice. As is rather typical with us we proceeded to waste the next few months and leave the majority of the work until the last few weeks. The past week has […]
The Church Of Stuart Pearce and other stories – Q&A with Rich Fisher
I have a continuously growing collection of NFFC related literature on my bookcase at home. Many of you will be the same, perhaps with the same nagging partner complaining that they clutter up the place and who wants them to be stored away out of sight. No? There is a depth of fascinating characters and stories […]
Fans Forum / Safe Standing Debate – Thursday 18th January
Cross Keys – 7pm Towards the end of 2017 we began a concerted effort to elevate this campaign towards a greater focus on what happens inside the ground. Displays and flags aside there is a very simple need to become more consistent in the level of support we can offer. A game like Arsenal highlights […]
Away Seating Section – Wolves, Saturday 20th January
Following some discussions with the club we are going to be trialling a section of seats at away games starting with Wolves on 20th January. Most seem to be in agreement that the atmosphere at games could be so much better and we hope you’ll see it as a positive step. For me, there has […]
Brentford – Saturday 12th August 2017
Brentford – Saturday 12th August 2017 The fixture list was kind to us when our first away game was selected. Brentford remains a favourite for many of us because of the old fashioned terrace we are housed in. Supporters are tightly packed in below the low roof and the noise it kicks up is brilliant. […]
Ipswich 4 Forest 2
Five months into the biggest reset button in the club’s recent history and the world, once more, is caving in. Twitter is awash with frenzied messages about our plight. It’s the tiniest minorities of course; anyone who sees Twitter as a constant gauge for the fans thinking is wholly mistaken. The most vocal, angriest verdicts […]
Ipswich, Saturday 2nd December 2017
Ipswich away is always one of those games I look forward to. When it lands on a Saturday at 3pm it’s genuinely one of my favourite trips of the season. Honest! There are far too few football grounds where you can step off a train and find yourself a matter of minutes from the ground […]
Birmingham 1 Forest 0
Somewhere in the midst of a fairly heavy drinking session on Saturday was a game of football. We lost. Once the sting has faded normal service resumes and we carry on enjoying ourselves. It’s a mentality that has to exist being a Forest fan, otherwise you’d become a wreck. I enjoy letting myself get excited […]
Birmingham, Saturday 18th November 2017
We return to St Andrews in a much better place than when we last visited at the start of the year. That game, if you recall, came within 24 hours of the news of the failed U.S takeover. Needless to say things were at a low ebb that day. Upcoming trial dates in Greece aside, […]
